Lots of us want to stop the results of Sharia law in other countries. Do we not have the right to articulate those beliefs? Why doesn't he?

What we need and what we have the right to do are often not the same.
I am fully supportive of our second amendment rights, BTW.

Yes, but that's because of how oppressed the women are under Sharia law. Just like how oppressed us Americans are by this scum bags statements. Once we're disarmed it's over.

If we have the right to say something about another country's laws, I'm missing why he doesn't have the right to say something about ours?
It seems to me you are blurring the line between being right and having a right...

In the aftermath of Alex Jones' disastrous interview with Piers Morgan on CNN, many of his sore sympathizers have made it more so apparent that they want him deported out of the country. There was a petition made where 100,000 folks signed demanding Piers be departed, 100,000 individuals whom can't handle an exercise of rights when it doesn't include them only. "He's not a citizen" they shout! "He's anti-american" they shout, as if these reasons justify silencing him. So what does the first amendment actually say?
AMENDMENT I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

The fact that the Framers chose to limit to citizens only the
rights to vote and to run for federal office is one indication that
they did not intend other constitutional rights to be so limited.
Accordingly, the Supreme Court has squarely stated that neither
the First Amendment nor the Fifth Amendment "acknowledges
any distinction between citizens and resident aliens."

scholarship.law.georgetown.edu...
In the first amendment regarding freedom of speech, it says nothing about citizens, it mentions people, this extends to American residents and those whom are legally residing in the country.
Even if Piers did not share the same first amendment rights with American citizens, the fact many are crying to have him deported because they disagreed with him shows a complete lack of respect to the rights we are afforded in this country, it also shows a loser mentality. People can't deal with what he says, so they want him taken away, and they want everybody to only listen to what they have to say and what rights they have.
There is a segment of the population in this country that are becoming increasingly tyrannical in their line of thinking, it's becoming evidently clear what kind of American the kind of people who sympathize with Alex Jones envision
When a democratic election does not go your way? Secede from the Union. Take your toys and leave because it didn't go your way.
When somebody says something you don't like on their air? Silence them, deport them, kick them out of the country.
When rulings like Lawrence v Texas, Brown v Board of education and Loving v Virginia reinforce rights afforded to individual Americans, cry foul and an injustice to states rights, completely ignore the rights of the individual.
Maybe it's time people also start looking into the mirror when they talk about tyranny, control, fascism.

In my opinion, if an authority treats non-citizens any different than average citizens, it is immoral. Just because someone is from across the pond does not mean their right to speak is any less valid.
