Singapore Blogger Spared Jail

afaik_ianal writes "A Singaporean blogger, who pled guilty to sedition charges last month for posting anti-Muslim remarks in his blog, has avoided a custodial sentence, and has been placed on 2 years probation instead. According to the article, the 17 year old student is the third person to be convicted under Singapore's sedition laws in October. Singapore, which is unconcerned by wide criticism of its record of press freedom, appears to have been stepping up efforts against bloggers in recent months."

THAT'S ISLAM

If it were really so, we would already have World War III, which we don't. There are over 1.2 billion muslims. Even if we conservatively assume that 10% of them were devout, that's still 120 millions of them worldwide. That would be, according to your logic, a lot of extremely dangerous enraged pitbulls. Where are they all? The so called "war on terror" has been triggered by a handful of extremists; not by those hordes that exist only in the imagination of a frightul, poorly informed population, which has lost all sense for the right proportions.
