Free speech in the Ummah

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/6262919.stm

I'm sure that the super-sophisticated western press will be much too clever to report this story widely. Journalists being put in jail for three years for reporting other peoples jokes about Islam? Yawnerooney.

Especially when you've got real genuine stories of George W Bush giving White House press corps journos the cold shoulder for criticising his war in Iraq.

Remember, violations of free speech are never serious unless there is some way of linking President Bush to them.
