Freedom of Speech - An excuse to be Openly an Anti-Muslim, page 1

This thread is a response to:

When you criticise a black person it is racism
When you criticise a jew you it is anti-semitism
When you criticise a gay you are a bigot homophobic or intolerance
When you criticise a woman it is sexism or anti-feminism
When you criticize a country,they call it Treason
When you criticize a religious sect, they call it Hate
When you criticise a muslim you are exercising freedom of speech?

It seems that there is an open season on Muslims and anti-Muslim propaganda and acceptance of Muslim bashing in the USA, UK, Israel. This is exactly how hitler operated, he scapegoated a group of people which led to the holocaust which is EXACTLY what is happening right now.

Go to any of the major news websites and look at their comments (eg CNN, MSNBC, daily mail, telegraph.co, fox news), calling people ragheads or towel heads is a form of freedom of speech yet you do anything else listed you are quickly labeled.

Do you think there would be a lot more outrage if there was any other ethnicity on this effigy in NYC?:

I agree when it comes to name calling of that particular nature. Rag head, towel head, etcetera, isn't exactly what I would call anything other than an emotional response of hate. It is ignorance, pure and simple. However, to criticize Islam by analyzing their holy text and commentary and stating why you disagree with them isn't being anti-Muslim, imo.

Thanks for your thoughts on this matter. Do you also take the time to remind the good muslim folks who burn our flags and call us the great satan that there is no need for for such rudeness? If so, that might be your full time job. Why cant we scream "death to islam" in the streets with impunity? Dont we have the same rights as them? Just sayin.

Well they have a right because we have been bombing them for the past 30 years, so their criticism is justified, we are saying all these things out of ignorance and hate, therein lies the difference.

It was kinda the point I was getting at. In their society, it is acceptable to hate and insult westerners in general, even though millions have done nothing to offend them and have no desire to. Yet, when there is hatred and isults returned, all we hear are complaints.

I have issues about muslims over here in the uk doing anti uk demonstrations and so on. And we put up with it. I'd like to see a group of westerners doing an anti muslim demonstration in say Iraq. They'd be killed in the streets there and then. But that's ok isn't it?

Typical one-sided racist post that. It sounds so bad it's frightening. Nobody has a right to kill or insult anybody, regardless of race. You need to re-establish your morals I think.

And who the hell is we? I hate it when people include me in this 'we'. If the governments declare war, I personally can object and have no desire for it, why then do you feel the need to use the term 'we'. As in 'we' have been bombing them for 30 years. Have you? Have I? No, so I object to be this 'we'. People use it too many times and I think it's insulting and disgusting.

You are right. Freedom of speech means these days freedom to spout out hate speech against any group of people you and your kind happen to dislike. I think what should determine whether something is hate speech or not should be whether or not you are referring to someone you know personally. If you indeed know an individual and wish to malign them with hate speech (which in some cases is slander) you should be free to say what you want about that individual but when you are talking trash about a GROUP of people who you do not even know as individuals and are just maligning an unknown group...this should be considered a lot like yelling fire in a crowded theater. Where is the line drawn between using hate speech and instigating violence?

Yes we the USA have been bombing them and then we chant to kill them all, and then go play our COD and go kill more muslims, and then turn on fox news and listen to more anti muslim hate, and then go on websites and type more antimuslim hate, all the while we are droning and bombing them. So yes they have the right to critcise us for killing them.

Muslims have referred to our civilization as "dogs", "infidels" and the "great satan" since before we had bombs to drop on them so I dont think their attitudes are based on high explosive munitions.

They are not shy about speaking their minds so why should we in the western world be so coy? Somehow everyone allows muslims to say whatever they want. Its probably because the horrible things they say pail when compared to the horrible things they do.

Islam will prevail. We are the greatest religion on earth, the Muslims you hear on your t.v or where ever.. they are not Muslims, ok? Get this through your head.

Two rights do not make a wrong, however, they started it with the hostages in 1979, and prior with the hijackings in the 70's.

They drew first blood.

They are screaming to wipe Israel and the USA off the map.

WE were attacked on 9.11.

What, we have no right to be pissed?

Prevail at what exactly? Living under a primitive and backwards culture that stopped adding anything positive to the world at around the turn of the 16th century?

Happened much much earlier in the 1950s with the CIA overthrow of their government. The reality is far more complex than Santorum or Fox news would tell you
