What were we thinking?
Publisher Ezra Levant tells the inside story of why the Western Standard decided to publish the controversial cartoons--and the amazing things that happened after we did

Undoubtedly, you'll be vilified as a hatemonger or some such nonsense. Hang in there. There's a silent majority that wish you well. I certainly do.

The cartoons are news and need to be reported. It is definitely not an attack on anyone's religion. This would never have come to the attention of the world but for the hysterical reaction of some Muslim fanatics. If any religion cannot accept any criticism, then it must indeed be fragile and terribly insecure.

I served in the Canadian Forces for many years and participated in "peacekeeping" missions. Ostensibly, my work and the work of my fellow soldiers, sailors and airmen/women was to promote human rights and, most importantly, freedom and political issues aside, we did the best we could. I applaud you for exercising your right to be free from coercion, duress and manipulation of the press. You can be sure my local retailer will be taken to task for his decision not to carry your magazine. Good for you and for us for having you. I may not always agree with your opinions and editorial policies but I am proud of your courage and integrity.
