How can children and young people learn anything but blind dogma if that is all they are exposed to? It's a tragic shame all around. Ignorance is definitely not bliss. And freedom of speech is sacrosanct--at least from where I stand. 320597@blogcritics.org Tue, 14 Feb 2006 01:42:23 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/02/05/212131.php#comment-318077 good thinking, to bad that the muslims didn't develope since their ousting out of spain, before that they were scholars that enriched the whole world with knowledge and new theories, nothing new from them since hundreds of years, to bad 318077@blogcritics.org Thu, 9 Feb 2006 14:41:05 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/02/05/212131.php#comment-316063 <i>"Freedom of the press, and freedom of expression must, and will, triumph over the 'requirement' that the whole world treat any particular religion with any more reverence than any other."</i> Excellent way of putting it. And I entirely agree. Freedom of speech is paramount, and means allowing for the criticism of religion(s). And it's only too predictable that the far Left would criticise European free speech since they are all-too-familiar with free speech and free expression being a one-way street. They'd rather show their solidarity with what they view as the downtrodden in this War on Terror. Again, typical of the far Left. 316063@blogcritics.org Sun, 5 Feb 2006 23:08:52 EST
