It only takes one person deranged enough by their faith to end the life of someone exercising their right to free speech. Theo Van Gogh is a good example of this. I am sure there are some more Mohammed Bouyeri's out there who, if the opportunity presented itself, would try to do Ayaan harm.

I for one would prefer that the EU err on the side of caution. I am glad that my tax £'s will be used in this way. Ayaan is worth every penny.

If I may recommend a browser plugin that can help... It is called DownloadHelper. It looks for video/flash feeds on a webpage and allows you to download and save them to your HD. Not sure if there is a Windows Explorer version but there is definitely one for Firefox users. Do a search on Google and it is the top result.

Hope I haven't broken any rules on my first post. Apologies if I have.
