SCHOOL CLOSES over Muslim death threats over teacher showing Mohammed drawing to students, Muslim protests descend on the school
Where are the Muslim counter protests in defense of free speech?
The Muhammad cartoons are a flash point in the discussion about free speech because according to Islamic law they are blasphemy, punishable by death. Many have been killed over them. At issue is whether we will protect those who draw them and exhibit them, and thereby protect free speech and free society, or censor ourselves and others over them, thereby in effect adopting Sharia.
