They Weren't Dynamite--They Were Just Leberwurst
Apparently, the Berlin father who dressed his daughter up as an Islamakazi to help Israel celebrate its founding is going to have to answer to German authorities.
I don't think that Germany has a first amendment--I'm not sure what, if any, protections they have for freedom of expression. If he's charged, it will apparently be for "condoning acts of violence." That seems kind of mild and generic to me under the circumstances--it seems to ignore the fact that he's teaching this child the virtues of killing herself and others.
If he were in this country, I'd sic Child Protective Services on him for child endangerment. If he thinks that German police are rough, wait until he runs into some American social workers...
