Freedom of speech is a right
Freedom of speech is a right that is very precious to those who love freedom. I resent attempts made by fanatical Muslims to take that away from me.
Does Freedom of Speech
Does Freedom of Speech include hate speech?
Freedom of speech is synonymous with:Freedom of expression & Freedom of thought.
Hate speech degrades & humiliates fellow human beings.
Anyone who has some knowledge on Islam knows that freedom of speech,expression & thought is strongly discouraged.The Qur'an & Hadith would be of no use & would be discarded if Muslims lived by these freedom principles.
