Should the U.S. government stop that for safety?
My viewpoint: it depends on what you mean by criticizing. I believe anyone should have the right to say "this or that is Wrong," or "this or that is Bad," whether the topic is a religion or anything else. However, I don't believe "criticizing" should extend to making fun of, or worse, provoking, others.

Your topic, though, can be matched with what I posted in another thread about 'diversity.' As an example, if you happen to have a Muslim neighbor who hears you say you believe his religion is dangerous, or bad, should he have the 'right' to behead you just because that's what his religion teaches? As I've said, if people want to live in the U.S., they should be willing and prepared to live by the laws and standards of the U.S., not expect the U.S./Americans to go 'they should be able to practice whatever they believe.'

On a side note: not all Muslims are hate-filled, violent radicals. There's one guy in this area who's a truly good person, cares about others, and wouldn't appear to be any different from anyone else except for his clothing.

Mohammed is NOT a prophet! Quit giving this mad man undue esteem. He was a lunatic! Islam is a cult. A very dangerous and oppressive cult.

Where is it written that criticizing Christianity is punishable by death? Where? It's not in the Bible, so where do you find that?

As is every religion ever created. The more humans realize that religion is a virus the better we all shall be.

Love how Muslims think Freedom of Speech should not apply around them.

If you are secure in your beliefs other people can say what they like.

Atheism is up in America

Christianity is losing ground in the United States as atheism and agnosticism grow

Yes, but only radical Muslims shoot up the place when they don't agree.

I'm finding it hard to take the OP's question seriously.
