Freedom Of Speech And Insulting

From Wikipedia:

In response to the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy, Pipes wrote that the "key issue at stake" was whether the "West [would] stand up for its customs and mores, including freedom of speech" and the "right to insult and blaspheme". He supported Robert Spencer's call to "stand with resolutely with Denmark." He lauded Norway, Germany and France for their stance on the cartoons and freedom of speech. But he criticized Poland, Britain, New Zealand and the United States for giving statements he interpreted as "wrongly apologizing."^[29]

No Mr. Pipes. It is one of your mostly praised customs to talk nicely and to avoid insults. You are free to contradict this custom, but wrong doing prompts an apology. No apology, your customs are questioned.

Only hearts full of hatred or anger will insult. The most wise people agree.
