Benghazi murders: Revisit free speech
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | September 14, 2012 | Mustafa Malik

Posted on 09/16/2012 9:44:42 AM PDT by artichokegrower

It was a reprehensible crime. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three other U.S. diplomatic staff members were nurturing excellent U.S.-Libyan relations until they were murdered by a Muslim mob in Benghazi. Many Libyans will fondly remember Stevens' hard work to implement the U.S. policy to facilitate their liberation from Moammar Khadafy's repressive dictatorship.

Unfortunately, these four innocent Americans have been the latest casualties of the West's conscious or subconscious policy to foist its liberal ideology on unwilling Muslim societies.

Mr. Malik please allow me to serve you a nice hot dish of STFU. Muslims have killed more of their fellow Muslims than anyone else on this planet.

A call for America to surrender.

In the U.S., freedom of speech is enshrined into our Constitution. All of us can worship as we see fit (or not at all), and also criticize any religion to our heart’s content...

See Bill Maher’s documentary “Religulous,” Matt Stone and Trey Parker’s musical mocking the Mormon faith, “Borat” infiltrating the Pentecostal Church, hell, even Dana Carvey’s “The Church Lady”. And I highly doubt that Scientologists will set fire to our embassies in protest of “The Master” being released.

This is part of what “liberty” and “freedom” are — no one could possibly agree on what is “appropriate” to be said, written, or depicted in a movie — but everyone is free to speak their own views (and post them online).

Islam should get the same treatment as all other religions, even if some of its adherents deem it offensive or unfair. Otherwise, we’re not being faithful to the ideas of liberty and freedom. Whether adherents of Islam choose to be compatible with freedom is up-to-them.

As to “Mustafa Malik”? You sir, can go to hell. I will not give up my First Amendments rights for you or anyone else.

Isn’t it becoming clear for one and all, that Obama and his cabal intend on one thing as the result of calamity, militarily, economically and socially; is to denigrate and dismantle the US constitution and rebuild America as a Socialist Moderate Islamist country... at least I think they’d settle for that.

Socialist “Moderate” Islamist, eh . . . hope that’s mere cynicism; Islamic socialism is based on Nazism.

You’re right of course... my thought was how Obama and the State Dept would label it, once it was fully intact.

There is no way to keep anyone from claiming to be offended by someone else’s expression. Trying to do so only empowers mob rule; whoever reacts with violence gets their way. Therefore government dictated censorship is incompatible with a free society. perhaps that is why there are no lasting free societies under Muslim dominion.

There are only 2 viable options to solve the raghead problem.

Forced westernization or genocide.

Defund the subhumans as well by ceasing to pay for the oil they couldn't have gotten out of the ground without the west and just taking it at gunpoint, free gas for all Americans as reparations for 9/11/01.

Let the camel jockeys go back to riding camels and living in tents.

Something undefinable, such as “those American values we hold dear” or the like . . .

A mountain of Muslim rage was CONSCIOUSLY made of this molehill of an amateur video because the powers that be over there wanted something to get the mob mad about on 9-11.

Rather than we giving up our freedom we need to tell them to shut the hell up about what one nut does in the USA.

The one screening of this video had an audience of less than a dozen. It was they who made it world famous through their state run media months later.

Dear Mr. Malik,

Please buy yourself a one-way ticket back to the Muslim sewer you crawled out of.

As a step toward reconciliation with anti-American Muslim masses around the world, the West should adopt measures to stop the misuse of the free-speech doctrine to attack Islam.

Yep, let's just toss out the 1st Amendment to make the Muslims happy.

As a first step in limiting free speech, let’s start with this clown and his column.

The San Francisco chronicle coming up with one of the greatest thoughts of all time.....they were popular until they weren’t and then they got killed. Pulitzer prize right there.
