If you don't like how your goverment is at home, say something at home. If your abroad, I suggest you follow Ben Franklin's advice and stay mum on those kind of subjects in conversation.

An Australian court ruled today that a fundamentalist Christian ministry had vilified Muslims in a test case that could have repercussions for a proposed British law on incitement to religious hatred.
A court in the southern state of Victoria found that Catch the Fire Ministries and its pastors, Danny Nalliah and Daniel Scot, had fallen foul of Victoria's 2001 Religious and Racial Tolerance Act. The Islamic Council of Victoria (ICV) brought the case following a March 2002 church seminar in Melbourne, during which Mr Scot characterised Muslims as liars and demons and claimed that the Qu'ran promoted violence, killing and looting.

It's the opposite to that in France now.
They can only talk about certain subjects when they are outside of their country because they'll be sued or fined for saying them in France.
The French are not alone either.
A couple of ministers in Australia were charged with spreading racial hate a couple of years ago.

That's sad, it's still wrong. I'm worried that that might happen here in the states someday soon, do you think it will? Or do you think we have a "small window" of time?
