Thought policing is fascist, regardless of who is targeted.
Exploding Mohammads or Holocaust denial, it’s all still free speech.
Thank God we still live in America... for now.

Frankly, I don’t know why the Dutch bother with this nonsense. South Africa under Apartheid had all sorts of laws against speech that incites racial discord. That was what Biko was convicted of, in fact. The law is idiotic, and ought to be repealed if it’s constitutional. But while the group that published it is trying to prove one double standard, they’ve also proved another one as well. Publish a cartoon about an exploding Muhammad, and the Arabs riot. Publish a cartoon about perfidious Jews, and Jews yawn.
