#1 "Frost comments that he finds it surprising that Bremner thinks a joke could put his life in danger."
God save us, where has the man been living for the last twenty years, under a rock? Wasn't the Affair of the Danish Mo-Toons something like a clue? Not to mention the fatwa on Salman Rushdie?

#2 "Frost comments that he finds it surprising that Bremner thinks a joke could put his life in danger."

The Mr. Bremner should make a joke about mo-ham-head and/or i-slam and say that Mr. Frost was the originator of the joke, and that Mr. Bremner condemns it. If Mr. Frost is correct that a joke can't put someone's life in danger, then he'll be OK - right?

The jury is still out on this. Maybe from the neck down.

#8 I thought David Frost was a muslim. I thought all the BBC-aljazeera types plus the royals, the lords, and the progressives were all muslims. That would explain a lot.

#9 Rory is not alone. Smpsons, South Park, comedy central.... none dare poke the bear. not a draw mohammad day, not a word against "honour killings" not a word aginst genital mutilation. never speak out loud the 7th century barbarianism towards women and female children.

We will die defending their right to kill us.

#11 This is why I supported the "Draw Mohammad Day" last month. I posted some art online and got a TON of hate mail from the Moose-limbs. It was really rather funny.

In the spirt of free speech:
I-Slam,
U-Slam,
We all Slam,
For Is-lam!

The 7th Century sucked then, and it still sucks!
