In reply to the discussion: Philly buses ordered to accept ads featuring Hitler & 1941 Palestinian leader [View all]daredtowork
(3,732 posts)When the ACLU defends the right of the KKK to hold a march, that's a hard to decision to make - it's not just "weeeeeeeeeeeee, Free Speech!" Because - as stated above - one person's woohoo freedom may lead to limits or harm to someone else. So if someone is going to push the boundaries, that's worth deliberating about.
IMHO, associating the Quran with *images* of Hitler (which is more powerful than mere verbal speech) is a move toward inciting violence. But I question whether whether this is false advertising as well? I bet we could probably make a stronger bus-side case for Christians being woman-hating based on all the misogynistic statements in the Bible. But I think we've all just decided to overlook that and agree it's a historical/spiritual document...
