What I said was that the lampooning/satirising/mocking of Islam makes one a target, on the basis that the more radical factions of Islam operate a kind of policy of zero-tolerance. That's a statement of fact, not a judgement or opinion.
It is also very obvious, especially in light of 12 people being killed. If that was a contribution, it was rather redundant.

Good grief....
I never said that the attitude of radical Muslims should not be lampooned/satirised/mocked, or anything else. What I said was that the lampooning/satirising/mocking of Islam makes one a target, on the basis that the more radical factions of Islam operate a kind of policy of zero-tolerance. That's a statement of fact, not a judgement or opinion.
I think that maybe my view on the video issue led people to assume that I was making a point about freedom of speech in general, which was not the case.
I apologise for the sheer volume of posts, but I've tried to address the individual points as they've been raised against me. You'll probably be relieved to read that I don't think there's much more I can contribute to this discourse (at least not without getting into the realms of moral relativism, theodicy, or notions of ethnocentrism).
Toodle pip!
