Free speech, American media and Islam
The Sacremento Bee ^ | Wednesday, Sep. 26, 2012 | Cynthia Hubert

Free speech is under attack, yea, I know that is not news. But what is disturbing is just how closely Islam is being guarded by the media and our government. Why? Are they afaid of Islam? Is free speech okay, unless it is about Islam? Is Islam above discussion? If the media and government is so afraid of offending, why is it okay to offend some, but not others? Where is the outcry for free speech? Does any of this disturb anyone else?

The recent video didn't have anything in it that is not also in the Koran and/or the Hadiths.

It's all true ~ to the degree any of that stuff is true ~ but they are the stories Islamic scholars and rulers have decided over the centuries that you aren't supposed to portray or talk about.

Otherwise they will kill you and your family.

Two things:
The “film”—line for line, word for word, scene for scene directly out of the Koran.
The press—a pack of cowards (leftist, who knew?) who cannot fight, much less have the will to do so.

I’m currently conflicted. Should my tagline be what you see? I’ve also used,

“Nuke Makkah Now!!”

“Death to Islam means Freedom for all Mankind.”

“O Muslim! My Bullets are Dipped in Pig Grease.”

“DEUS VULT!”

Suggestions?
