Just picked a copy of the Standard Lite.
On P.6 the man who protested dressed like a suicide bomber has said:

I'm not sorry and I would do it again.

Apparently because his clothes could be bought from a shop and not illegal, then it was OK.
Never mind the upset and offence he caused to people who have suffered at the acts of suicide bombers on 7/7. These people have complained with 'shock and outrage' (although they did not dress up as peace activists or protest carrying banners promoting love & understanding) and called in 'an insult'.
To which our protester said:
Quote:

I can't make any apology for it.

Apparently apologising for offending someone is a one-way street that only non-Muslims have to follow.
He also said (of his 'costume'):
Quote:

I admit that it may have appeared...a bit provocative - but that's not illegal in this country.

And neither are those cartoons.
The sooner we have them published them, the better - let these terrorists know we will not bow to their violence.
