Finally someone actually says what I've been waiting to hear
Reader comment on item: A Muhammad Cartoon a Day
Submitted by Ricci (United States), Sep 21, 2012 at 16:17
A Muhammad Cartoon a Day. I've been waiting a long time for someone to say that or to put it that way. They have no fear of burning our flag even if it kills the protesters inhaling the fumes. And we don't riot as a result. It only shows how insecure they are about what they believe. We cannot let fear command our freedoms or lack thereof.
Thanks, Ricci
