It all depends on whose ox is being gored! It wasn't so long ago that the Maplethorp art exhibit came to Cincinnati, Ohio USA (pre-Internet) and the vial of urine containing a cross with Christ afixed was enough to get the exhibit banned by the city after many Christians protested. It seems that they were not so concerned with the artist's freedom of speech as with the insult to the person central to their religion. Western cultures have had a couple of centuries of this thing called free speech and are beginning to get used to the idea that it works both ways. Islam comes to it anew and may have some growing pains as it learns that for others to accept your freedoms, you must respect theirs. If their protests become violent, then the protestors have become criminals and should be arrested and prosecuted. If they remain peaceful, well does Ireland have the right of peaceful assembly like the US or not?

The area where I grew up in Dublin was where most of the Jewish people lived. They were, including our next door neighbours, Friendly, good kind people. Today all their houses of worship are mosques!!! and I cannot say the Muslims are living up to the standards of the previous congregations.

the fact that muslims who have no history or comprehension of democratic principles,who destroy democracy,call for its destruction are allowed in a democractic demonstration is a f..... discrace.send them back to the societies they came from, and see how their demonstration is recieved in their moslem sharia dominated societies.

Ireland should deport them. Muslims have to get used to free speech. Catholic are subjected to pictures of Christ in urine. If Muslims want laws against free speech, then they should move back to the middle-east. That way the Muslims will be happy in a repressive society, and the Western Countrys will be happy with free speech. So deportation will make everyone happy.

When women are treated as equals then other issues pertaining to discrimination could be looked at. What right does anyone have to complain when they engage in discrimination or exploitation of anyone else?

Why are these digusting dogs allowed to march on MY streets? Why aren't they removed by force and killed. Putrid, disgusting pigs! The whole world is sick and tired of their crap. What are they complaining about anyways, a video? What a load! Muslims should be kicked out of every country that they are NOT from! They don't belong anywhere, except the middle east, where they belong. If they continue to move everywhere they want to, once the command is given, they'll be able to take over any country they are living in, by force. Whay all of a sudden are these pigs moving all over the world? In places they don't even understand or can cope with? Just think about what i said...

These savages should be ignored. That's the same photo from last week's Embassy photo. They must all be on the dole. God save Ireland from these 7th century mutants.

It only bothers you if you watch it. Don't watch it if it going to bother you. Freedom of speech, case closed. How about burning of chutes in countries where you came from. A bit over the top. If their country and religion is SO GREAT, go back to Allah and marry a large black plastic TRASH bag. Oh ya, how many of your women were "Allowed" to march in this
demonstration. Maybe they didn't want to. ENOUGH

As a woman along with millions of others I am hurt and insulted when I see other women covered from head to toe in black and they have no rights at all. This is very insulting to a free woman, millions of us.

Assam Mohammed, you live in Ireland for 7 yrs!! well let me tell you i'am born and reared in Ireland and we believe in freedom of speech if you do not like our values and customs
feel free to head off to Dublin airport and take the next flight back to where you came from and that would also apply to any other Muslim who has a problem in this land .As for Alam Ghulam Rabbini and the hurt to 1.5 billion Muslims around the world i take it you talked to them all one by one! and to you i would say also if you do not like the Irish way of life feel free to go home .

If the muslims are upset over free speech, then we should by all means censor everything we say and do, I say sharia law for everyone, honey do you have an extra face veil for the weekend, might want to do some clubbin.
