what happened to free speech

[d000hg]

Freedom of speech is the political right to communicate one's opinions and ideas via speech

You can have your personal anti-Islam opinion what Free Speech is, but that means precisely squat.

By the same token I would not go and stand in the Celtic end and shout "Come on Rangers" even though I am allowed to. Is that also a travesty against freedom?

You aren't going into a mosque and shouting "**** Islam".

This is a well-researched program about the origins of Islam. Last year there was another one about Judaism and Christianity on BBC. Nobody got threatened.

Essentially, Muslims are a backward people, with zero critical opinion of themselves, and very little tolerance for other opinions.

That is the root of the problem. You read it here first.

Why don't you convert? I am sure you would fit in great.

Do not let us forget, there are some things we are not allowed to say on CUK. Some words that make sense in the english language, but carry such a heavy message to some people that they can not be uttered by others.

bonkers, in my opinion

The n word?

No that's right they're not saying it in a Mosque, they're broadcasting it to the entire world/country.

Again it's not Islam which is offended, only a vocal minority. They don't speak for Islam.

This is not a free speech issue, it's an issue of violent idiots using scare tactics. I'm sure they get the same from animal rights & green fringe extremists as well.

Channel 4 cancels Islam documentary screening after presenter threatened - Telegraph

why does this country put up with this?

It's probably just a publicity stunt by Channel 4 - Provoke a few extremists into making a threat like this, get lots of lovely publicity for the program, and then air it at a later date.

Ah, so all Muslims are identical in every opinion and attitude? Is that in the same way as all Christians are fundamentalist zealots who speak in tongues and handle snakes? Good to know. I'll give the church fete a miss.

Where are the "moderate" Muslims? I don't see them anywhere.

Where are the Muslims that question the teachings of the Koran? I don't see them anywhere.

Where are the Muslims that want to reform Islam? I don't see them anywhere.

Speaking in tongues is hardly an extremist aspect of Christianity. We don't have any snakes though

Yes! Except that guy Mo who just won those races in London, coz he's a nice bloke who says he's 'proud to be a Brit'!

And look out, that prize winning Victoria spongecake was made by a little brown girl called Fatima!
