No Right Turn reports on how the Swedish Government has actually shut down a website of a (political party) newspaper after it began a competition to find more Mohammed cartoons.

Not to be outdone the EU is looking to have a media code which would urge the media to respect all religious sensibilities. And how long will this code remain voluntary?
