Mark Steyn is Not Alone : /p>

Was the placement of an article on the Islamists' suppression of free speech and Senator McCain's suppression of political speech deliberate? If so, bravo!

p>Those who seek to use the force of law to prevent their opposition from expressing itself, whether it is through the suppression of critical campaign ads or articles that document ties between "non-violent" and violent jihadis, do not do so out of the courage of their own convictions, but out of the fear that their weaknesses will be exposed. In an age where information can be disseminated at viral speeds on the Internet, the attempt to censor dissent is as futile as King Canute's commands to the tides, but in the short term, it's a good identifier of those who want to rule, but cannot lead, and fear those who can. br> -- Mike Harris br> MAJ, USA /p>

Brooke Goldstein writes that Islamic jihadists have been successfully using the legal systems of the free world to silence or intimidate those who criticize terrorism or terrorists (or, if you prefer, Islam).

Terrorists should not be protected under any law. There ought to be a bounty on them -- with no limits.

p>Mark (Live Free or Die) Steyn is on the front line against terrorism. Every American, everyone in the Western World, should support Steyn and those who stand with him against the jihadists... br> -- Jack Hughes br> Chicago, Illinois
