Here is an interesting New York Post story about how guys accused of funding terrorism are using the courts in England to shut down writers over there and, to some extent, here in the U.S. It is an interesting reminder of how freedom of speech is a rare phenomenon outside the U.S. Writers in England have to worry about being sued. Writers in Europe, for most of the last 1000 years, had to worry about what the king or queen would think, and, more recently, about whether or not what they are saying will get them killed by their Muslim neighbors (look up “Ayaan Hirsi Ali” and “Theo van Gogh”).
