Hans van den Broek on 'Buitenhof'

'Buitenhof', a Dutch news show, just showed Hans van den Broek, a former secretary of foreign affairs. Mr. Van den Broek likes to cave in to violence. To paraphrase what he just said: 'If cartoons create all this mayhem, then you should wonder if publishing them is worth all that.' In other words, the limits of freedom of speech are determined by those who are quickest in being willing to use violence.

Remember me?


Epibratie
"I believe in life. I believe in treasuring it as a mystery that will never be fully understood, as a sanctity that should never be destroyed, as an invitation to experience now what can only be remembered tomorrow. (...)
I believe in liberty. I believe that within every soul lies the capacity to reach for its own good, that within every physical body there endures an unalienable right to be free from coercion. (...)
I believe in the pursuit of happiness. Not its attainment, nor its final definition, but its pursuit. I believe in the journey, not the arrival; in conversation, not monologues; in multiple questions rather than any single answer."
Andrew Sullivan
