4. I support freedom of speech on both sides.

This guy can say what he likes and others can protest against his views, as long as they're not violent.

I disagree with the way people like this promote their views though, not because of cultural sensitivities, but because they're playing into the hands of the fundamentalists and make them stronger. And that's me exercising my freedom of speech to say that.

Hover, in today's media world we don't get a discussion or a dialog just the equivalent of shouted insults.

Let's have a dialog or even a discussion or conference where all points of view get heard. That's what's missing in today's media environment IMO.
