At U.N., Muslim world questions Western freedom of speech

[Behind the Aegis]

66. Yet another case of your not seeing it because you can't or won't?

Or is it possible because you haven't been here long enough?

You have a star, which means you can do searches, both here and at DU2. Of course, there is also always Google. You will find a number of people who didn't care for the banning of a recent Hitler novel (or some such). I, myself, found myself on the hors of dilemma over that particular situation. The laws of Germany are not our laws; they have specific reasons for their bans, but in the end, stifling or hiding free speech will not work.

As for Phelps and his clan? Holy shit! There have been HUNDREDS of threads over the years about his protests of funerals, opening, candidates, and the like. There have been scores of threads about the "funeral laws" (basically forbidding him and others from being within a certain footage to the area). MOST will come out and say something like, "I don't condone his speech/actions, but I support his right to express them." Same goes for David Irving and "the Pat Buchanans." So, your assessment that it is just the islamaphobes that get a pass is absurd, but might explain why you whip around in these type of threads accusing people of bigotry and war-mongering.

I suggest you open your eyes, do a search on the names you listed, and read before you post again how anyone condemning the current battle against free speech is a secret Muslim and/or Arab hater!

ETA: Since our last exchange two more examples have croppe dup, neither from the dreaded pro-Israel type, conflating Jews and Israel. Do you need me to provide the locations of these posts?
