In reply to the discussion: At U.N., free speech divides West and Muslim nations [View all]Jessy169
(602 posts)The majority of Muslim people are poor, destitute, uneducated and oppressed. Their religion is all they have. Allowing Americans with sinister intentions to create slanderous communications and broadcast those directly into the "hornets nest" of the Muslim populations, simply to stir up trouble, does nothing to move those Muslims toward appreciating the great concept of American Free Speech. The only effect is to inspire hatred and anger toward all Americans, to instill in many Muslims the burning desire for revenge. Trying to convert Muslims to concepts of "freedom of religion" and "freedom of speech" with communications like "Innocense of Muslims" and many similar productions is a wasted and self-defeating effort.
But we do have many people in America who think otherwise. Those same people, I suppose, should we ever discover another planet with less developed civilizations than our own, will want to begin broadcasting hate speech and obnoxious crap to the newly discovered civilizations in hopes of converting them to America's way of thinking too. The fact that the civilizaitons riot, hate us and want to kill us as a result is -- tough luck. We are America, and our crazy people have the first amendment right of free speech to spread their hate wherever they want. Isn't that right.
