Ahh the Swedes. They have a pair. God love em for this little diddy:
A Swedish newspaper on Wednesday defended its publication of a drawing depicting the head of the Muslim Prophet Mohammad on the body of a dog, following an official protest from Iran.
"This is unacceptable self-censorship," the newspaper wrote in an editorial on its Web site on Wednesday, referring to the reluctance by galleries to exhibit Vilks's drawings.
"The right to freedom of religion and the right to blaspheme religions go together," it wrote.
"This newspaper has always been very eager to defend Muslim rights in Sweden and freedom of religion overall. But we are also very clear that the freedom of speech goes hand-in-hand with that."
It's a politically correct way of saying "go fuck yourself" to the Iranian's who are just wanting to get people to cower at the mere thought of offending Muslims. Yet you won't hear Iran or the Sweden's Muslim Council's calls for being offended when cartoons are drawn that show depictions of offensive stuff to Jews, Christians, Buddhists or any other religion. That's because they're hypocrites.
