Now if it's the first one there is no logic in this behaviour and, hence, cause and effect are somewhat broken. These nutjobs will always find an excuse. In the case of smaller news organisations it's also projecting cowardice onto them. While I see the point that large news organisations may be vulnerable smaller publications should, in the UK, not be.
If it's the second you're being an illiberal sycophant who appears more concerned with the obsessions of Koran literalists within a couple of flavours of Islam than basic human rights.
Both views are an insult to way more than just me. Contemptible.

I've not seen him say anything like that. What I'm reading is "have your freedom of speech but accept that it will likely cause a reaction".
I don't see marty sticking up for Islamic nutters, being an apologist for them or saying anything that appears sympathetic to their 'cause'.
