  • yes i think Ooi is morally responsible and owe an apology to the public at large and muslims in particular. how would christians react if someone were to comment in public jesus was a bastard for he had no biological father and then quickly hide under the cover of free speech?
    This is the fault of democracy …everything goes in the name of free speech. Prof Hamka once said freedom without responsibility can bring about destruction.
    And without some kind of control there can be no real freedom…the freedom not to hear insults and vulgarity.
    The freedom to read the stories in the media loudly to your child without having to skip some words because some editors think four letter words are okay if they are quoting someone.

  • I have always looked for a possibility to find information as quick as I can. Now there is the internet. And I really appreciate people like you who take their chance in such an excellent way to give an impression on certain topics. Thanks for having me here.

  • I have just been doing some research on open content, freedom, democracy, information society, blogging and related themes and some one suggested this site. Its a useful and resourceful initiative…keep it up.
