no freedom of speech in islam

We have seen a lack of freedom in islamic countries and now this type of action is coming here.

People in the west are being attacked for their thoughts and words , Salmon Rushdie is a clear example and Theo Van Gogh in Holland , and cartoon drawers in Denmark.

It is happening far too often and we are doing nothing. When there were attacks against the book the Satanic Verses , it should have been bought by the hundreds by governments and then given away to people , just to say NO, we are not going to be controlled by islam.
