There is a difference between offending speech and hate speech. We had an organization "Pegida" that has been conducting anti-Islam protests for a while now - extremely controversial but perfectly legal. Now, saying publicly something like "Let's go blow up a mosque" - that would be illegal. But I think anyone who is idiot enough to say that publicly, deserves it
I'm not sure Geert Wilders threatened to blow up a mosque.
Liberals make me laugh. Norway? A government welfare leech's dream. There's literally no point in ever working hard towards your career or in school or at all for that matter in the Scandinavian countries. First of all, there is no chance of one ever coming from poverty to be wealthy unless you have specific connections to already wealthy individuals. Second, you can be a lazy bum and come up with the most ridiculous excuse without evidence and they will give you welfare and you don't have to work at all. And there are MANY MANY lazy bums doing this throughout Scandinavia. Many of whom come from respectable families. I don't blame them because there is no incentive to work! They take more then 60% of your income in taxes! Third, those countries reward criminals with resort-style living as an attempt to rehabilitate them. Probably singlehandedly the biggest load of garbage I've ever heard of in my life. And fourth, their countries are all going to implode like Greece under their "generous" welfare system, illegal immigrants, and multi-culturism.
At least it was not Norwegians who bombed some of Europe's most beautiful cities like Hamburg and Dresden to ruins, killing thousands of women and children.
No, most Norwegians were too busy holding their hands up, shouting don't shoot. Not all, but most. They also, unlike the Danes, didn't do anything to protect their Jewish population.
It should be given the federal debt is evidence of the monetary price we paid for it.
I never realized Communism was a threat to the U.S.
Seems China has done well, in spite of or because of communism.
Seems Vietnam has managed to prosper,too.
So, you're fond of totalitarian regimes that kill millions. Makes it very clear that like most leftists you don't really give a hoot about results, consequences, torture, murder, slave labor, environmental destruction, etc. as long as your ideology triumphs. Nauseating to be honest.
US has fallen so far in so many areas, that it is only a myth that it is the best country to live in. That myth may slowly sinking as Americans expand their horizons and travel outside of their country, however it is a well known fact, that most Americans have never been outside their own country so how could they have a clue as to what goes on elsewhere.
What a sad situation.
But, but, but look at where the US IS exceptional: The highest per capita healthcare costs in the world as well as spending more on its military than the next 8-10 countries combined.

Just stop. Chinese communism and soviet communism is responsible for the DIRECT death of tens of millions of people.
And then there's the collateral effects.
Most people who actually did have to live under Chinese and especially - Soviet - occupation will disagree that it was never a threat or should not have been opposed.
I'm not sure Geert Wilders threatened to blow up a mosque.
I don't know what he said, honestly. But it is not forbidden to criticize Islam, short of direct threats. I have criticized it online and in conversations a million times. No gestapo knocking on my door for now
And it's not like Americans cannot lose a job if they say something offending to any of the multiple minorities.
