my white privilege comment was sarcastic, but it's really a truth told in jest. It is your opinion that all speech should be free, and this is probably because you do not have a fear of hate-speech resulting in violence against your kind. It is even more serious in the information age where information can proliferate very fast. All genocides have happened through the exercise of 'freedom of speech' where a whole group of people was packaged as 'evil', 'backward', etc. etc. so obviously total freedom of speech is nonsensical. We already have laws that restrict freedom of speech, for example you cannot incite people to violence, cry fire in a cinema, etc.
We also have laws against slander, you cannot go around falsely accusing people of things that are not true. Now if you apply that on a more massive scale, why should people be allowed to slander a whole group of people especially in tense situations such as the aftermath of a terrorist bombing? The consequences of that have to be born by individuals, not an abstract group of people. I remind you that I'm talking about slander, not mere speech or the spreading of facts.
I'm really not interested in a shit-slinging match with anyone over this, but I would really like a sincere response (E-kul included)
I think we should assess freedom of speech within the context of the collective benefit of society, not just on individual freedom. We over-value the former, and under-value the latter.
The one and only reason Muslims want to get rid of freedom of speech is for the sole purpose of removing opposition to their HATE GROUP and they hope they will be the ones who decide what can be spoken and what can't. Therefore making it effectively easier to brainwash the naive and the gullible over to their HATE ORGANISATION. And what do you mean you cannot incite people to violence, Muslims do it all the time, calling to behead the very citizens of the Countries that host them for being offended by the HATE GROUP called ISLAM. And we tolerate this, because we know you are a bunch of semi literate camel jockeys who are the only real proof we have that humans evolved from apes. Muslims are the missing link between monkeys and apes.
The saddest part of all is the lack of insight and the sheer scale of the hypocrisy that Muslims posses. In the west we are outrageously offended by pretty much everything Muslims believe. You believe in the unequal treatment of women, female circumcision, paedophilia, threats of violence due to perceived offence, killing of apostates, Jews and homosexuals, honour killings, barbaric punishments for crimes, preaching of hate and intolerance towards non-muslims, halal slaughter, SHARIA LAW and the use of TERROR and VIOLENCE to deal with opposition etc etc need I go on, we find these things utterly offensive, and you should count yourself lucky we only tell you to fuck off back home and don't use the tactic that Muslims use and either kill or threaten to kill others when offended.
What Muslims need to ask themselves, if they hate infidels so much, and they they applaud terrorist acts against the West, mock and ridicule democracy and our values etc etc, Then why the fuck do you even come here for any other reason than to cause trouble and spread your HATE FILLED propaganda. Please tell, why the fuck would Muslims emigrate to a Western democracy?
