“Those FReepers on this thread getting outraged about this need to take a minute and think about how many hundreds of ways there are to send the message that Islam is flase that don’t involve desecrating a book in front of people who believe it’s holy.”
Sorry, what Jones wants to say does not need the permission of anyone, FReeper or anyone else, to speak his mind.
“In essence, this is like saying that PETA folks who throw pigs blood on furriers are out of line; it’s not like saying PETA can’t have a billboard or form picket lines.”
Your great mastery logic and fact seem to have failed you. PETA paint throwers are destroying private property. Jones will speak on private property, not destroying private property.
What you seem unwilling to either comprehend or refuse to admit is the simple fact that Dearbornistan has a Constitutional requirement to protect Free Speech. Whether the frequent Moslim prayers demanding the Moslim to kill all non-Moslims OR Jones’ talk about Islam - both are to be protected.
Dearbornistan will pay ederly for this debacle of their own making.
Why do you have this seeming difficulty with the Dearbornistan authorities being required to protect Jones, even if it means suppressing Moslim violence?
Your About Page indicates you are from Illinois. From your attempts to obfuscate the Constitutional violations Dearbornistan subjected Jones to, may I assume you are a Democrat and live in Chicago? Might you be a Moslim?
Erratum: Line 5 of post 161 is:
Jones will speak on private property, not destroying private property.
Corrected reads:
Jones will speak on public property, not destroying private property.
Sorry.
My, that's an awfully big ego you've got there. Disagreeing with you does not make one a heathen enemy of freedom. Get over yourself. I'll attend to the remainder of your condescending bilge in the AM.
