Free Speech & Blasphemy European Style

We in the U.S. take for granted our free speech as guaranteed by our Constitutional First Amendment. Other countries do not have the same degree of freedom of speech. Take for instance Denmark where the newspaper Jyllands-Posten was in real danger of being prosecuted for blasphemy. Now the Crown’s Prosecutor has decided not to prosecute. Go to Agora for all the latest information from Europe on the Cartoon Jihad.

I wonder if the liberals in America, who so admire Europe, actually comprehend the significance of blasphemy laws as they pertain to free speech. Maybe it is OK with them because not offending someone is more important than having the right to say what you want to say. Oh, that’s right; we call that political correctness. We’ve had that here for a long time. Just go on any university campus and see for yourself.
