And also how much of your response (or the second generation response) is due to a sense of belonging in the culture and a kind of confidence to engage in the debate of ideas. you can't really talk about free speech without talking about power. who has it and who doesn't. either way- yes we've got to support our writers and artists!! “the first response of some Muslims, or at least the organisations that claim to represent them, to situations such as the Danish cartoons and the Macleans case is to resort to law and politics rather than engage through rhetoric and the arts”
