We couldn't ask for a better champion for free speech than Mark Steyn. Isn't it time that some investigative reporters hunted down the Muslim perpetrators and grilled them? Wouldn't this make a fabulous 60 Minutes segment? The bigger this gets, the better. It will educate the slumbering masses about the Islamic contempt for free speech and build up the resistance against Muslim encroachment on our liberty.
