Even Greta on Fox News piled on last night, saying it is good to stand up for free speech but it wasn’t good to put the lives of others (i.e., hired security) at risk; and sure, we have the right to free speech, but with rights come responsibilities (not to provoke?).
Shameful.
Face it: a large number of Muslims are unrepentant barbarians — they threaten violence if they are offended. They are encouraged to be barbaric by some of the writings and traditions of Islam. The remaining Muslims are encouraged by those same traditions to not criticize other Muslims when they are being barbaric.
Does a Civilized person have an obligation, legal or moral, to change their behavior in order to not offend a barbarian? I don’t think so.
One can make the case that barbarians should be deliberately “offended” so that they can be crushed when they initiate violence, and then any remaining barbarians will have an opportunity to reconsider their behavior.
The exercise of free speech is by its very nature provocative and offensive...otherwise it wouldn’t require an express freedom.
I wonder if that is why she might favor a limit to free speech (i.e. she doesn't want free speech on religion because hers might be exposed).
