Dutch Muslims support 1st Amendment far more than US citizens

So one of my favorite "right-wing" sites LGF is running a story about how "40% of Young Dutch Muslims Reject Democracy" with the key hook being the results of a study that says
 "The majority are opposed to freedom of speech for offensive statements, particularly criticism of Islam."
Sounds pretty bad eh? Then again I remembered this study from back in 2002 where 49% of American citizens thought the First Amendment went too far.


"Many Americans view these fundamental freedoms as possible obstacles in the war on terrorism."


Shh..don't tell LGF.
