seventh_son...."I would say that there is a right to publish or read these kind of things, but whether it is a wise thing to do, knowing that at this point it is basically picking a fight with some radical and unhinged people, is another question. I hope that it is received by the public and the world that this is a fight being picked by a particular editor with his own agenda, not a fight being picked by Western Canadians or Canadians in general.".....

I get your point but should the free world give in to these unhinged people? And there by letting them think that the free world is afraid and will buckle under threat of their violence? Should they be permitted to become even more powerful that they already are? What will they do next time something they don't like comes along knowing that Canada backed down already in the face of their threat of violence?

As awful as this may sound I believe that in the long run it is the best thing that could happen to face down radical islam in the free world once and for all...these people MUST know their place in a democratic and free society just like the rest of us. They must understand once and for all that when they come to our country they live by our rules and our laws. IMO a lot of lives will be saved if they are confronted now.

What would happen to us if you or I were to act as they do in their country?
