Its not the religion its the culture and politics of the associated nations. Given enough academics I am sure it could be "proved" that Dr Seus's "Green eggs and ham" is the work of the devil from any religion.
Given also that most humans of any culture really just want to be left alone to bring up their kids we are therefore reacting to a tiny minority in each society. Yet these microbes are able to alter the entire perspective of the world once that intangible the media get a hold of it. What raises viewes raises profits. Lets induce the "truth" and report it with "emphasis" and bingo ratings go sky high.
One wombat charlatan priest burns some books, big deal they print a million more tomorrow. The point is look at the amazing effect it has had on millions.
Truth and freedom of speech is a double edged sword, mankind will be better off when it has matured enough to reach adulthood and understand it with clear reasoning rather than emotional distraction.
Tienanmen square is a good example of the truth, successfully evaded political propaganda.
The evolutionary quantal phenomena of the internet is an extremely sophisticated massive, rapidly evolving, parallel processing mechanism extension of CNS biology.
On the other hand to be purist, bestiality, child pornography, making bombs, nukes and biological weapons, which as facts must therefore also be available equally, are the down side of truth and freedom of speech. Then of course, we have the myriad of gray areas such as voluntary euthanaisia DIY sites, drug use sites, beat the patent holders DIY anti-AIDS drugs for poor countries etc.
So I stand up for freedom of speech no matter how agonizing it may seem. It comes with a price that many of my immediate ancestors paid dearly for. So as much as I am disgusted by this guys actions I cannot philosophically stop it. It his right as a human.
And yes I know, Rupert is an Aussie.
Cheers
