Amend or Else

Pakistan has sent a delegation to the EU demanding requesting that freedom of expression be abolished restricted. According to a report in Pakistan's Daily Times:
The delegation, headed by an additional secretary of the Interior Ministry, will meet the leaders of the EU countries in a bid to convince them that the recent attack on the Danish Embassy in Pakistan could be a reaction against the blasphemous campaign, sources said.

They said that the delegation would also tell the EU that if such acts against Islam are not controlled, more attacks on the EU diplomatic missions abroad could not be ruled out.
Let us hope that this is merely poorly worded journalism. Otherwise, this smacks of being an ultimatum.
