Freedom of speech > Cultural respect?
I don't know if the name Lars Vilks rings a bell in the international community. He is a Swedish artist, who once decided to provoke Islam by making a caricature drawing of Muhammad. As a result, he is now an extremely controversial person in Sweden. Last week, he held a lecture at my university. I wasn't there myself, but my roommate was. The lecture turned into a riot after protesters attacked Vilks. Here's a video with some English subtitles and explanations in the video description. I am posting this because I think it is important to think about how the world looks today, and what might happen if people don't start communicating. That's the reason I went to Yemen, and it's something that I think is crucial in managing our future world. LINKED MEDIA
