Flemming Rose isn't going to watch the decline of free speech without a fight.

Extremists responded to the cartoons with attacks on western embassies and riots, resulting in the deaths of over 200 people.

Rose is no rogue provocateur. He is one of the planet's most committed defenders of free speech, the open society, and enlightenment values of tolerance and human rights.
