But the global over-reaction to the publication in a privately owned newspaper in a Western secular society shows that there are increasing numbers of Muslims who expect to be able to control what non-Muslims do in their own countries.
The murder of the Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh in 2004 by a Muslim extremist enraged by his documentary about violence against Muslim women was just the start.
In one of those twists of fate, it just so happens that I wrote about Islams plan excatly one year ago today.
It is well worth reading again and compare it to events that have unfolded in the last year.
One thing that needs greater attention is the meida complicity in all of this. For as Melanie Phillips noted:
It is this weakness and moral confusion that comprise the great goal of terrorist strategy; it is this that has characterised the west’s response to Islamic terror for many decades; it is this that has brought us to where we are today. In the war that has been declared upon the free world, the western media’s abuse of power is perhaps the most lethal weapon of all.
And the BBC is the most lethal of all.
