Today let’s talk about politics other than the Internet.
A funny thing is, I was sitting on a bus this afternoon and suddently it just poped into my head that if I got a camera recoding everything aroud me, I might be able to catch something interesting. 10 minutes later, while the bus arrived muslim district on wilmslow road, I saw hundreds of muslim holding their religionary flags and some other stuff walking a march to the opposite direction. Some of them even slaped their own undressed chests in an orderly phalanx and shouted loutly at the same time. That’s when I took this video.

Apparently, they were extremlly unhappy with the cartoons satirizing their Prophet Mohammed, published by a Danish cartoonist. The protests are now all over European. Protesters even set Danish embassies on fire. Although medias claimmed they were just following the “free speech” rules and doing nothing wrong, some critics from western countries had been blaming the medias failed to realize their speech would certainly affect muslim’s religion emotions. It’s like you have the rights to curse, but if you used it in a wrong way, apologizes might be the best way to solve the problems. On the other hand, a muslim (7th Feb, metro news) had pointed out some muslim’s inappropriate behaviors, including burning the Danish embassies, being dressed like a suicide bomber and making death threats can do nothing good but just confirm the criticism in the cartoons.

So, a conclusion: You keep your free speech rights, and also your clear mind.

p.s. My voice was not in the discussion in video.
