Whether you’re for editorial free speech in the form of those Danish cartoons that offended so many European Muslims or against it, some kind of editorial bravery medal ought to go to LABAF for shooting and posting this video (largely footage of a 2.11.06 “manif” in Paris). I mean, in view of the cowardice shown by so many news organizations in reporting about this culture- clash story, with none being willing to show the cartoons that offended so many in the first place. Ater watching it a friend wrote in and said “when it comes to this controversy, all I can say is this: Fundamentalist religion is totalitarian in nature. And if the 20th Century taught us anything, it’s that you should never give in to, or try to accommodate, the totalitarian impulse.”
