Free Speech Isnt a License to Spread Hate. Let love be without dissimulation. Hating that which is evil, cleaving to that which is good. Romans 12:9
Put more simply.
If you love God you must hate evil.

Ms marvel has been around a long time. Marvel recently changed a few characters to different races / sexes. Theyll change them back eventually. Its just a marketing ploy.
I wouldn't be so sure about that. To do so would bring cries of (fill-in-the-blank)ism from the P.C. gestapo. Today's comics are chock full of P.C. crap; thank God for back issues. To me, this will forever be Ms. Marvel:

They are free to purchase their own ads, which they have done. Vandalism is just a minor symptom. Islam encourages this anti-civilized behavior because it cannot handle the truth. Militant lying and murder is an inherent part of it. It cannot be reformed, it must be defeated and , God willing , destroyed.

“The right to swing one’s fist ends at the point of another persons nose’’.- Ben Franklin. No fan of Islam am I but either the bus company should not have taken the money for carrying the ads or the people who bought the ad space should have made it clear to the bus company what they intended to do. Somebody screwed up here.

I do not think anybody else could pull off that suit. Just wow! I am just amazed...and I can not figure out if it is because he can pull it off or because he would even try.

“... the people who bought the ad space should have made it clear to the bus company what they intended to do”
Not sure what your point is.
How do you know they didn’t? From the article:
“A group that is sharply critical of Islam recently bought space for anti-Islam ads on San Francisco buses. San Francisco had a First Amendment obligation to allow such ads; as a court recently held, once a city opens up a bus advertising program, it may not reject such ads based on their anti-Islam viewpoint.”
