“There is a need for deterrent legal measures against those individuals or groups that want to damage relations between people, spread hate and incite violence.”


Pretty much sounds like he's wanting to put a limit (or abolish) free speech to me!

This is what he really means.......

“We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to sow the seeds of hate and discord against the religious beliefs of Allah Akbar.”

“There is a need for deterrent legal measures against those infidels or groups of infidels that want to damage relations between people, spread hate and incite violence.”

Liberalism is the new fascism. It is odd that liberals are uncomfortable in their own skins, as they are the greatest threat to liberty the US has ever faced. Most people consider themselves to be inately "good"; I am sure it is very uncomfortable (and immediately dismissed) when libs are show the fact that they are on the side of evil.

Strange that Obama acts so insulted by this film, yet the US Government actually gave grant money to the artists who created "**** Christ" and "**** Moses".

He TALKS a good game about being respectful of other's religions, yet he's never condemned those!!

This is probably what happens in a country where freedom of speech isn't tolerated:


Taliban publicly execute woman near Kabul - YouTube
But I thought they were immigrants who came here because they loved the freedom of this country and wanted to escape their home country's government. Since they seem to be so against our nation's constitution, I now understand why Liberals support muslim terrorist over our own nation.

Liberalism is inherently false and its core beliefs can easily be dispelled by a modest amount of examination. This is why liberals hate free speech, as their core beliefs cannot hold up to any degree of scrutiny. This is true of all lies, while the truth will be revealed with extensive debate and examination.

Liberalism is a lie and therefore is easily exposed with simple questioning. The answer? Suppress free speech and evaluation of the "philosophy" to avoid exposure. Is it any wonder? Can any lib defend their suppression of free speech rationally? Of course not.

Me thinketh you need to look up what "free speech" means and in what contexts it applies...

Going by your logic, if you came to my house, yelled insults at my wife and subsequently got kicked out by me, this would be because I oppose free speech. Okay. If I came to your house, tried to lure your kid into a van by promising him all kinds of nice things, you'd be curtailing my free speech if you threatened me or called the cops. Yeah, okay.

I'll give you a hint: It has to do with government (or we, the people) deciding that it is against the law to critically or offensively address another. Don't get it, eh?
