    "My problem is with those who shout for free speech and expect to produce cartoons and statements that offend religious values then those same people (or groups) turn around and support something like a ban on denying the Holocaust and see no inconsistency."

    This is fair comment, but still worries me.

    I feel that we should speak out against any curtailment of free speech, not matter what the source is. So rather than condoning the curtailment of free speech that offends some belief or other because of inconsistencies, we should speak out against all attempts at curtailing free speech. This includes that which we find offensive (such as denying the Holocaust - for me at any rate).
