They can only if the western world is submissive to the intolerant faith of Muslims. This is something I don't think is particularly effective nor is it in the best interest for western nations but in these politically correct times that is the sad reality. Honor killings, sharia law, and polygamy are just a couple examples of things that are incompatible with western nations.

openyoureyes: that link didn't work but do you really think that is the reason they are hijacking ships? If so you are a typical liberal. Do yourself a favor and wake up or as your name suggests....open your eyes. Somalia is a lawless cesspool and the only thing they understand is violence.

Most people posting here have no clue about what principles the United States was founded on and why we have the right to bear arms to begin with. Educate yourselves before spouting off a bunch of nonsense that does little more than show how little you know regarding the subject. Guns are no more responsible for killing people than pencils are for misspelling words. Read up on your American history lads. It can be argued that the reason the United States has been able to enjoy a large amount of success in its young history is because it hasn't followed other countries. For those of you that think that Japan is safe....well it certainly is at the moment but society is fragile and if it ever goes to hell who will you look to for protection?
Also JT I love the headline! It's a sure winner to bring out the America bashers.

YangYong, Unfortunately for you the case isn't closed. When we start criminalizing the thoughts and views of people how far do you suppose that will go? Just this past year Al Gore and company were likening Global Warming skeptics to Holocaust deniers. If I don't want to believe in either WHO ARE YOU to say I am a criminal? You can say i'm wrong you can call me a kook. But a criminal for holding those beliefs? Be careful traveling down that road. It doesn't end well.

To those who voted "yes" you are all severely mentally impaired if you want to criminalize somebody's thoughts whether an event in history happened or not. This is usually the same crowd that is in favor of the Fairness Doctrine and silencing anybody who has a different view than them. These people are also usually the first to cry foul at the slightest infringement of any of their rights. Bottom line if you don't think the holocaust happened then your a kook. But you have a right to be a kook. I am not a hypocrite and while I disagree with you I certainly believe in your right to hold an opposite opinion.
