I'm sorry, but this is just nonsense. To say that England is somehow lacking in "multiculturalism" as compared to other nations seems sort of silly to me.

Tolerance and submission are two different things. We should tolerate muslim culture in the West. We should tolerate their habits, their diet, and their customs. That's fine and good. But why does ANYBODY have to worry about getting hurt or even killed if they take jabs at Islam? This seems very cut and dry, yet somehow our multiculturally programed brains are complicating the matter.

Muslims should protest peacefully, they should boycott Danish products, they should publicly mock the Danes, and they should write angry letters. That's all great. But there is absolutely NO excuse (nope, not poverty, not boredom, not youthful indiscretion, none of it) for mobs to burn embassy buildings and to kill people. No dice.

And you can say that this is a tiny minority, and that the West is exploiting the matter. Okay, that's fair. The media smells blood.

70,000 people protested just six days ago in Peshawar, Pakistan. 70,000 people, one day, in one place. An 8-year-old boy was killed. This is not simply some easily dismissed minority, this is an endemic problem.
