I'm guessing you're not a world traveler. Look up "squat toilets" to see what nations use them rather than the predominant religion in those countries.

Ahhh hate speech, the hammer progressives wield when so offended.

Zounds like Sweden could benefit from a "Ministry of Nice Words" where politicians filter the nasty stuff from the daily lexicon.

Cursing out a Police Officer is considered disorderly conduct in numerous areas around the US. It should be seen as freedom of speech. Correct?

Correct. How is the officer harmed by words? are they snowflakes?

But what does any of that gibberish have to do with Muslims crapping in the streets?

They're not. I come from the world of "Sticks and stones may break my bones, But names will never harm me" and usually shrug it off as harmless idiot speech.

Too bad people have forgotten it's origin.

'Sticks and stones may break my bones' - the meaning and origin of this phrase
So you do not support this act (if true) by Sweden?

Say one thing wrong, charged with hate crime.
I'm concerned that it is coming to that. Already social media sites are deleting what they feel is hate speech, and labeling what they don't agree with "fake news". And reports are that the ones who moderate the postings are all left-leaning.

Nope. The internet has opened up an entirely new way for racists and bigots to be disrespectful of others. As we used to say years ago: "If you don't like what's playing on TV, change the channel". To criminally prosecute people for saying words is a waste of time and funds, but doing so has pretty much gone global.
