Fox News Channel host Bill O’Reilly argued it is “bogus” to invoke freedom of speech in the debate over the Mohammed Art Exhibit and Contest on Thursday.

Thereby enabling what's been called "The Assassin's Veto."
“muslims (collectively) should not have their faith abused”
Why? Its as fictional as the flying spaghetti monster. And it causes untold misery everywhere it is found. It is a prison without bars.
If a coworker came in talking about how the fairies in their garden told them how to live, you’d openly laugh at them.
Ridicule the hell out islam it I say.
Ditto!
Good points.
My viewpoint is that Islam (as a whole) provoked Pamela Geller.
The most disappointing thing about this whole issue is that there are FReepers who are buying into this big disagreement between Kelly and O’Blowhard as if they were having some honest debate instead of some pre-arranged dialogue designed to create a buzz and get more viewers to tune in.
I can just imagine the director at the rehearsal:
Now, Megyn, when Bill says that line, furrow your brow — and show a little more cleavage.
ISLAM = ISIS = ISLAM PERIOD. THATS IT!
East coast, Harvard liberal. Nothing more, nothing less.
These folks can deny reality all they want, but eventually reality will bite them in the a$$!

The Gods Of The Copybook Headings
As I pass through my incarnations in every age and race,
I make my proper prostrations to the Gods of the Market-Place.
Peering through reverent fingers I watch them flourish and fall.
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings, I notice, outlast them all.
We were living in trees when they met us. They showed us each in turn.
That water would certainly wet us, as Fire would certainly burn:
But we found them lacking in Uplift, Vision, and Breadth of Mind,
So we left them to teach the Gorilas while we followed the March of Mankind.
We moved as the Spirit listed. They never altered their pace,
Being neither clud nor wind-borne like the Gods of the Market-Place;
But they always caught up with our progress, and presently word would come
That a tribe had been wiped off its icefield, or the lights had gone out in Rome.
With the Hopes that our World is built on they were utterly out of touch.
They denied that the Moon was Stilton; they denied she was even Dutch.
They denied that Wishes were Horses; they denied that a Pig had Wings.
So we worshiped the Gods of the Market Who promiced these beautiful things.
When the Cambrian measures were forming, They promiced perpetual peace.
They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.
But when we disarmed They sold us and delivered us bound to our foe,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: ‘Stick to the Devil you know.’
On the first Feminian Sandstones we were promiced the Fuller Life
(Which started by loving our neighbor and ended by loving his wife)
Till our women had no more children and the men lost reason and faith,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: ‘The Wages of Sin is Death/’
In the Carboniferous Epoch we were promised abundance for all,
By robbing selective Peter to pay for collective Paul;
But, though we had plenty of money, there was nothing our money could buy,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: ‘If you don’t work you die.’
The the Gods of the Market tumbled, and their smooth-tounged wizards withdrew,
And the hearts of the meanest were humbled and began to belive it was true
That All is not Gold that Glitters, and Two and Two make Four-—
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings limped up to explain it once more
As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man-—
There are only four things certain since Social Progress began:-—
That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her mire,
And the burnt Fool’s bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire;
And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,
The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!
Rudyard Kipling
Please take away O’s mic. He won’t fight for free speech.
You know, I’ve come to the realization that BOR is right. It was wrong for Pamela Geller to insight the islamists like she did. Just like it was wrong for the Ysidis in the middle east to insight the islamists. Or the Coptic Christians to insight the islamists. Or those 300 school girls to insight the islamists in Nigeria.
The media and BOR are making this all about Pamela Geller “insighting” the muslims in order to hide the very simple and all too obvious fact that one “insights” islamists by one’s very existence.

Great pics! I’ve copied them for further distribution.
Should give women interviews a veil. Might as well start now because showing their face is offensive.
Very telling. You nailed it. BOR (and very many media mouthpieces) needs to be pressed to publicly recite the Apostle's Creed:
------
I believe in God, the father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.
He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again.
He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.
I must agree and add Cavuto.

Cavuto has long been in the GOP-E camp.
A lot of Saudi money goes into Faux News, that explains a lot.
But I repeat myself.
O’Reilly is digging himself deeper into a hole on this issue.
