The response to the pedophile priests was to use the criminal and civil court systems. What is being discussed is the reaction to acts that may be found objectionable. If Islamic standards were applied to the situation of the pedophile priests, then churches should be torched throughout the world and innocent parishioners murdered in cold blood. I say again that Islam does not accept freedom of the press, freedom of religion or freedom of expression in Muslim nations, but demands it in western nations.
