DENMARK'S CARTOON CRISIS: EPISODE 5 - freedom of speech trumps sharia

One of the four Islamic leaders who fanned the flames of intolerance in the Muhammed Cartoon Crisis has emigrated from Denmark: Imam Sheik Raed Hlayhel is leaving because the courts in Denmark decided that the cartoons printed in Jyllands Posten were not in violation of the "racism paragraph" of the Danish constitution. His exit is welcomed by most Danes, and confirms the fact that Sharia Law and modern democracy are incompatible and that Islamic Fundamentalists have no interest in the freedoms we in the West enjoy.
