The Los Angeles Times has reported that the House of Lords has voted 148-87 to end the blasphemy laws in Great Britain — “A British law is no longer sacred.” The “last straw” was the death treats against a British school teacher in the Sudan who allowed her students to name their class Teddy Bear Muhammad. She was put in prison, and mobs called for her death. The British realized that they couldn’t criticize the Sudan’s behavior when a similar law (protecting Christianity) was embodied in British common law.

What the world is coming to grips with is a dogmatic religion that holds far too may things to be sacred and that can be offended even by the swirl on an ice cream cone.
If something is worthy of respect, people will respect it. Sadly, very little in Islam conjures up this emotion, except perhaps in the sense of fear. And as you say, only a false god needs men to defend it.

The Iranian Foreign Minister says there should be a clear line between freedom of expression and insulting religious sanctities.

Sooo…basically what he is saying is he wants non-muslims across the globe (no less) to obey islam’s blasphemy laws.

Mottaki,

Now we’re up to “over 1.5 billion” Koranists?

Anyway, Mottaki may have a point except for one thing. His “religion” goes beyond insulting other (real) religions. It KILLS their members with impunity. Somehow, extermination seems a tad more important than insults in my apparently feeble mind.
