Steyn on Cartoons

In Toon-deaf Europe is taking the wrong stand Steyn explains why so many have willingly linked or posted or reproduced those unfunny cartoons:

The issue is not 'freedom of speech' or 'the responsibilities of the press' or 'sensitivity to certain cultures.' The issue, as it has been in all these loony tune controversies going back to the Salman Rushdie fatwa, is the point at which a free society musters the will to stand up to thugs.

Amen.
