The Right to Ridicule

"Muslims who are outraged by the Danish cartoons note that in several European countries it is a crime publicly to deny, as the president of Iran has denied, that the Holocaust ever took place. They say that Western concern for free speech is therefore only self-serving hypocrisy, and they have a point. But of course the remedy is not to make the compromise of democratic legitimacy even greater than it already is but to work toward a new understanding of the European Convention on Human Rights that would strike down the Holocaust-denial law and similar laws across Europe for what they are: violations of the freedom of speech that that convention demands." - Ronald Dworkin

Many years ago there was lots of fight over the right of homosexuals. It became natural then and now it is consider one's fundamental right to be homosexual. Many have slightly began to mutter whether it is also a "right" to have sexual "orientations" such as pedophile. I just wonder, how many years is it gonna take till we begin to publicly discuss whether suicide-bombing should be also legislated as some sort of expression? Not that I mind though! :-)
