While Europe mourned the deaths of several journalists that worked for the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdot, the Muslim world has been enflamed in outrage at yet another charicature of their "prophet".

Without mentioning the fact that Muslims had once again burned churches and slaughtered Christians in the latest spinoff, Pakistani Lawyers hit the streets in support of their governments' latest call for international reglementation of free speech.

On Thursday, the Pakistani Parliament passed a resolution condemning the cartoon as hate speech and calling on the international community to “take a decisive step to stop such practice.”

“Freedom of expression should not be misused as a means to attack or hurt public sentiments and religious beliefs,” said the resolution, which was passed with cross-party support.

On Friday, lawyers boycotted the courts in Peshawar and Multan, instead taking to the streets to protest. Hafiz Muhammad Saeed, founder of the banned militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba, addressed a large rally in Lahore.

“It is time for us Muslims to unite,” he said. “Otherwise, the West will continue with such acts.”

Maybe Putin will bite and ban criticism of Mohammed along with criticism of Putin! His regime sure loves to ban, ban, ban: swear words and political humour, US adoptions, transsexuals from driving, indigenous people from travelling abroad, foreign cars, foreign food, Jehovah's Witnesses, South Park and Simpsons, critical portrait of the Soviet Union, Stalin and the WWII, independent TV-channels, anti-Kremlin protests, fair and balanced history books, opposition parties from running in the elections, from travelling abroad, and from TV...
