Douglas Murray: Don’t Be Distracted By Irrelevancies

Here.

It is not whether someone is “right-wing” or “left-wing,” well-spoken or possibly coarse in expression. What matters is this: Muslims all over the Western world (in Dar al-Islam they already can kill at will those accused of “blasphemy”) are attempting, some by murder and others by other means, to suppress those in the West  who wish to hold up for public inspection (and criticism, and even ridicule) aspects of Islam, including the figure of Muhammad. That’s what counts: the suppression of freedoms long established in our own lands that ournon-Muslim civilisation has developed over slow time. Muslims don’t like it? Too bad. They don’t have to remain.
