Free Speech?

I think it's pathetic.

 

Complaining about something is fine - as that's free speech

 

Encouraging people to kill someone is obviously a bit mad.

Seems odd they were complaining about a box with a little red 'X' in it.

 

So "getting what he deserved" has it's limits then?

Gunmen surround EU offices over Mohammed cartoons

(Filed: 02/02/2006)

Palestinian gunmen have surrounded European Union offices in the Gaza Strip in protest at caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed that have been published in European newspapers.

 

Around a dozen gunmen from the militant group Islamic Jihad, and an armed faction of Fatah known as the Yasser Arafat brigades, threatened violence and demanded an apology for the cartoons.

 

The gunmen climbed walls surrounding the building and fired shots into the air before leaving, according to reports.

 

The group set a 48-hour deadline for an apology for the drawings, one of which features the Prophet wearing a turban shaped like a bomb.

 

Another armed Fatah group, called the Abu el-Reesh Brigades, said citizens of Norway, Denmark, France and Germany in Gaza "will be in danger" if their governments do not apologise within 10 hours.

 

It is the second time gunmen have surrounded the EU compound in Gaza, the latest in a series of protests at the depictions of Mohammed which Muslims consider blasphemous.

 

Norway closed its representative office in the West Bank today after receiving threats from armed groups in the region.

 

Earlier this week, Syria recalled its ambassador from Denmark in protest, and the Danish embassy in Damascus was evacuated after a bomb threat that turned out to be a hoax.

 

Two large Danish companies have reported their sales falling in the Middle East after protests against the cartoons in the Arab world and calls for boycotts.
