If you apply this guy's lessons to the US, it would be laughable:
"The debate over how free should free speech be when it comes to religion is a recurring facet of the discord between Western nations and the Muslim world. The tradition in the West is to allow criticism of religion, whatever the price. Most Western societies are inheritors of the Enlightenment, which ultimately separated Church and State. Moreover, these societies’ modernization rested, to a significant extent, on transcending the stranglehold of religious establishments." Oh, yeah. George W. Bush is a great embodiment of the European enlightenment but who can argue with the expert on offshoots?
