Tracking the progress of the video yesterday made it quite evident to me that no amount of violence from the Muslims is going to make it go away. LiveLeak.com had over 700,000 views in a very short period of time, torrents were made available almost instantly, and it even wriggled through YouTube’s system (not sure for how long though). If Islam is so thin-skinned that it can’t take a bit of criticism, even from a little 15-minute video, then I say we toughen it up a bit — by criticizing it even more where it’s due.
