The Gun Guy at NoR has a post up about some Muslims in Australia..he's said it all, I can't say it any better.
I would just like to reiterate that haveing freedom of speech DOESN'T mean freedom of consequences from engaging in speech that is inimicle to the society you live in. There is a fine line that just shouldn't be crossed if you don't want to suffer those consequences.
The level of those consequences are what make the difference between a free society and a Facist/Communist/Dictatorship state, and I'm glad that, so far, we've managed to not cross that line, but it seems that those most vehement about being allowed to express their opinions are the also the most inclined to
blocking the opposite side from doing the same. Just my OHO, other's views may vary.
There was a time and place in this country when freedom of speech was respected. and not abused. part of the reson for that was although a man had the freedom to call me a sumbitch I also has the freedom to knock his teeth in for doing so. It made for a much politer society although a bit more violent at times.
