Thank you for your words of encouragement.

I have taken a quick look at your blogs, and they look very interesting.

I'm on the road right now, so I shall have to wait until about Tuesday to spend more time on them. I'll do that as soon as I can.

Till then, cheers!

Mark, I'm in New Zealand but was living in London in 89' when the Salman Rushdie thing was going off. This could make that seem like a walk in the park. Anything could happen here. But then, a clash of some sorts has to happen sometime, it's just a matter of time. Could be a blessing in disguise as the average man in the street may finally sit up and take notice of who we have let into our countries. Regards Lee

You're so right! Anything could happen here. But again, as you rightly say: It could be a blessing in disguise, a wake-up call for all those who have been sleeping up till now.

We really have allowed all these people in without paying any attention to their mentality.

Regards,

Mark

Thank you for this excellent and informative comment, and for those great links. They make for a great read.

I am glad to learn that editors in New Zealand have more courage than British and American ones. In the US and UK, nary a newspaper has had the courage to print them.

The American press has made the joint decision NOT to show them to the citizens of America so as not to hurt the sensibilities of Muslims.

What they don't realize is this: If the West takes that tack, then there is no end to what we shall have to stop showing, for SO MUCH upsets the sensibilities of Muslims!
