rants are good here as long as they're part of the discussion moobs
i definitely agree that if someone is against what we say which we deem as free speech, the right is theirs to protest; though not with any kind of violence. not even with an impromptu march. a planned march by all means.
as for gaiman's quote; i think it sucks hairy balls for one reason.
speech free or otherwise never needs defending. it can be attacked by all means but it never needs defending. that fact actually makes the "then you are going to have to defend the indefensible." part a non starter.
any person who has a right to print any cartoon (the legal ones; non child porn) does not need to defend his actions, no matter how stupid they are. and one who says they believe Allah or god to be non existent or evil again need not defend himself. nor do islamic people have to defend their religious beliefs. the fact is that some just love to defend this shit in order to get publicity, become a martyr, sell newspapers or make a bit of quick cash. (just my opinion)
