Subject: RE: BS: The right to insult and cause offence
Even if there is violence against Moslems or any other minority in Denmark or anywhere else, unless it is by agents of that state you cannot claim that the country as a whole is prejudiced. The actions of the few do not denote the guilt of the many.
I have heard tales, can't verify them, that certain incidents have had 'D Notices' put on them by the government to prevent their publication, in order to avoid inter racial strife that might occur if the news were published.
While I cannot vouch for the accuracy of this story it does occur to me that it would sometimes be better if newspapers etc were prevented from printing some of the inflamatory crap they do.
