Current events and sweeping generalisations

This and this have made me think. I have mixed feelings about the Danish cartoon fiasco. On the one hand, freedom of speech and criticism is so important. But then, surely to have a freedom requires responsibility, and so in this instance was it right to piss some people off on purpose? Especially the type of people with connections to extremists.

I think Williams stuck his oar in because it's another front in their fight against the concept of a secular state and secular legal system. Which is what we should have. Theists do have some solidarity. They're less bothered about which invisible man in the sky you believe in, as long as you believe in at least one version or other.
