nice one, Britain - good to see someone defending the right to free speech.
What DOESN'T offend Islam?
I think the best job in Islam is that of a flag maker. They will always have work.
I wouldn't mind the fuss if he was worth it! He seems to me as if he would write anything for 'fame', why else would he kick Britain in the nuts? The discredited 'honours' system is long past it's sell by date anyway (maybe they could be sold off cheaply), seems that they have been sold at full price in the past!
This is a case of Britain provoking trouble on the world stage yet again and this time by condoning the actions of one who is oblivious to offending a significant chunk of the world's population. The unprovoked display of bad manners and offence should be condemned, and not rewarded or hidden behind so-called 'free-speech'. We clearly have a lot to learn as a nation.
What does not offend the Muslims, is a lot for example we tolerate the Christian who worship a man born out of wedlock as jews call him BASTARD, OR ILLICIT.
WHAT DO YOU CALL THE ONE YOU WORSHIP, DON'T MUSLIMS TOLERATE THAT?
