Former US President Bill Clinton is saying exactly what America’s enemies are saying. He recommends publishers of the Muhammad caricatures be convicted.

So Bill Clinton is asking for censorship of the press, just like America’s enemies have requested. He wants convictions, just like America’s enemies. He wants “respect” of religions at all costs, which was also mentioned by America’s enemies. He mentions no playing with the views of “other” faiths. Notice he said nothing about Western media respecting the dominant faith of their own country, but instead he mentioned “other” faiths. And he mentioned the media can be critical of anything except “other” faiths.

And people claim this man’s wife might run for President .

Bill Clinton has adopted the language of America’s enemies. Censorship of the media. Convictions against people who don’t comply. And defending a faith from criticism at “all costs” are not American values. Just call him Mr. Appeasement. Give the radicals what they want and hope they go away is Bill Clinton’s suggestion. And a terrible suggestion it is!

Hat tip to the Gateway Pundit.

update (2/18/2006 12:30AM ET): It’s also worth mentioning, there is no Quranic verse that says there should be no images of Muslim prophets, including Muhammad. In that regard, this article is worth a read.
