This is what pisses me off about the liberal left as to which I call myself, your good intent on protecting pluralism is not done by censorship to avoid offending others.
Civility isn't about censorship, civility is what you do in the face of being offended.
And no, this is not just about Islam, this goes for Jews and Christians and Buddhists as well. We all have to live with being offended. 7 billion people cannot be forced to only say nice things about each other. We can however, insist on non violence when we are offended.
