Gee, so a banned Turkish party that tried to set up a regime with its own vision of Shari'ah
to be enforced with political power is your reasoning why a bunch of Somali immigrants shouldn't settle out of court in their own communal meeting based on their traditions (because settling out of court is unheard of!).
Applying reading comprehension a bit, notice how the point the ECHR made was that Partisi wanted to supplant a personal system that would be above and a replacement for democratic government, and had the power to usurp a sovereign nation's law with his influence. Might want to erase and mark your answer differently.

I would also remind you that extremist Muslims got the original Fire Temple music and Mirror Shield logo pulled from v1.1 and 1.2 of Ocarina of Time. The fact that Islamic fundamentalists feel that they have the right to censor a video game, let alone one as well-known as Zelda

Hah, so a bunch of uptight religious types are MUSLIM EXTREMISTS. I can imagine the Robot Chicken skit, right now: "Mommy, look! My shiny shield projects a neat star and crescent moon!"
*two neckbeards in camo and firing two M16s into the air kick down the door and shout Arab-ish jibberish*
"Terrorism!"
Please.

I would throw my giant posts I made on the subject some time ago, but I'd rather you search for the old topic on this and look for yourself. The point was far from suppression of "art" and more about Danish imams and their issue with the Danish government.

The ignorant polemic in me agrees (destroy dem evil muzzies!), but one can only laugh at the justification you're giving me here... I mean seriously - Zelda?

If moderate Muslims want their religion to survive, they need to very publicly start denouncing these people; in a situation like this, silence, quite frankly, equals tacit consent.

Err, maybe I shouldn't be kind and remind you of the past few years (I usually dislike those who live under a rock), but they have. Many times. And in great numbers.
