There's been no incidents here so far like that, Meryl Yourish linked to a piece about threats instead - threats do happen here. The piece Yourish links to is kind of overblown though, as there's certainly a lot of debate about (militant) islam here, and quite some political incorrectness (just a few days ago Ayaan Hirsi Ali compared all the Arab leaders to fascists on TV), and the media that are supposedly not broadcasting it often pay attention to it and give space to anti-islam pundits, even on public broadcasting. So there are surely limits to the self-censorship, even if it is worrying that it exists at all.Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16729021260184985416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8282587.post-1131045194383080872005-11-03T19:13:00.000+00:002005-11-03T19:13:00.000+00:0011 03 05M.
