I got your point just fine I just don't think it is a valid one.  |
If you say so however you still think valid criticism is an unacceptable insult/incitement to religious hatred, I give up.
I would hope that everyone here would know me well enough to know what I don't insult them or incite hatred, but its Europeans' legally protected right to criticise whoever they like. I don't think Islam should be exempt from criticism because the Koran or Mohammed said so, or as you say, exempt the third time either. |
Valid criticism is perfectly acceptable but when your valid criticism actually offends against someone's deep seated beliefs then you just have to accept that they are going to be rather upset.Yes let's discuss the rights and wrongs in the behaviour of varying faiths and religions but do we have to do it in the very way that continues to offend?Surely we can discuss about why some muslims turn to terrorism without repeatedly doing the one thing over and over and over and over just because you can as part of your right to freely express yourself.
Freedom of expression as you see it, is the BNP's right to continually incite racism in that case.There has to be a point at which you stop offending deliberately or you will incite hatred.It is only common sense.
I actually do believe in freedom of expression but not in the right to say and do offensive stuff just to get a rise out of a particular group.Frankly I think incitement against religious groups is as offensive as incitement against racial groupings.
