<p>On BBC the Doha Debates took on this topic this weekend. <a href=“http://www.thedohadebates.com/output/page12.asp[/url]”>http://www.thedohadebates.com/output/page12.asp&lt;/a&gt; I believe they post the transcript in a few days. It would be interesting reading.</p>

<pre><code>“The Doha Debates are a public forum for dialogue and freedom of speech in Qatar - each month invited speakers debate the burning issues of the Arab and Islamic world in front of an audience who are encouraged to participate by asking questions.”

<p>I think BBC is available via real if you pay a small price each month. When I return to the states I am going to subscribe. It has excellent weekend programming. Maybe it is available in other ways. I don’t know.</p>

<p>I watched that on BBC News yesterday. It was mostly about censorship and control of the media by Arab governments. They only discussed the cartoons because people in the audience kept bringing it up. I thought it was very interesting, especially some of the points brought up by Mona Eltahawy.</p>

<p>Alas, like most liberals CNN is more afraid of the Moral Majority taking America back to 1963 than they are of a bunch of illiterate diaper headed mullahs taking us back to 633.</p>

<p>The underlying theory appears to be that the US is the root of all evil in the world therefore anyone opposed to it must be good and the righteous will of course oppose evil so long as they don’t have to give up driving their Lexus.</p>
