First of all, why is it the Foreign Minister writing this e-mail? Is he speaking in some way for the Norwegian government, or is this in his private capacity? (He mainly uses the singular, which is why I ask.)
Secondly, what does "... enforce restrictions for incitement to hatred" mean? Apparently Magazinet, the Norwegian newspaper that published the pictures in support of Jyllands-Posten, hasn't been censured or anything.
I'm amused he referred to Islam as a "spiritual reference point."
