Nope. Don't agree with that. I'll insult who I want, it's called free speech.

You are fully within your rights to be a complete twat if you so choose. Prsumably you would sleep with your wife's 16 year old sister on a similar basis.

That's free love not free speech.

You are conflating.

It's all about freedom and rights - the mindset where some people think that because they are allowed to do something it's fine to do it.

Yes, and people recognise boundaries to those perceived freedoms. It doesn't follow that if someone has different boundaries than you that they have none.

And porking != talking, so they are quite different. Unless she's giving you a blowjob.

Muslims would consider their Prophet more dear to them than their own family, so I think it is wise to refrain from insulting him openly.....

Of course ... provided said Muslims agree to refrain from insulting anything I hold dear.

Interesting thread and interesting topic.

I guess Muslims view the world differently to Christians - you just need to speak to them a little to understand how central the religion is to their lives

That's not different. You're simply comparing proper Muslims with token Christians...

What about freedom to punch you in the mouth

Freedom of speech should not include the right to verbally abuse, insult, torment others. Freedom of speech is a responsibility as much as it is a right. Freedom of speech should not infringe on other peoples right of respect and dignity.

Who is advocating double standards?
