Muslim protesting film are defending Human Rights

The very proposition to repeal the first amendment is equivalent to deciding to remove Mohammed from Islam. It is as close to blasphemy as one can get in in the pantheon of Americanism. Freedom of speech is as sacred to our culture as any article of faith you can find in any religion.

Sometimes, things are negotiable and peace is more important than disagreement, but there are limits. If this, our unmovable, steadfast defense of liberty of expression, is a problem for others, it will have to remain a problem.
 
Muslims have the right to protest for their rights, peacefully.

So do the Jews.

The powerbrokers of the earth know what will happen: two state, guaranteed Israeli borders, Jerusalem remains Jewish, no right of return for Palestinian refugees.

Those conditions will occur as surely as the sun rises tomorrow.

Protest all you want. Peacefully.

Over the past dozen years, the human rights bodies of the United Nations have adopted resolutions to condemn "defamation of religion" as a violation of human rights. The first of these resolutions, introduced in 1999 by Pakistan, specified the "defamation of Islam." More generic language was substituted, but everybody understands that only one religion is meant.

These resolutions are in no way legally binding on anybody. They allow persecution-minded governments and clerics to tell their citizens and adherents that they are not attacking human rights when they pronounce death in the name of religion. They are upholding Human Rights.

What a stirring speech!!

For a moment I thought I heard the national anthem playing in the background. :lol:
 
Yes. Freedom of speech is a basic american right and tradition. Take it away and you take away what it is to be an American.
I thought it was baseball, apple pie, and chevrolet, that made us Americans?? :eusa_angel:

No. It's just being American that makes Baseball and Apply pie so great... Cant say that for chevrolet though unfortunately.
 
America, which is a majority Christian nation; and Israel a predominately Jewish nation.

Have been continually waging global and regional wars for decades. :redface:

As opposed to all those peaceful muslims who never hurt anyone? :lol:

Have been continually waging global and regional wars for decades. :cool:

Neither have been doing a very good job of it. There are still muslims.
 
I am not necessarily pro-American, but I am very definitely pro-freedom of expression.

Tbh, freedom of speech and "defamation of religion" contradict.

And it's really not defamation, when it's true and brought to light.
 
All articles that have the word "Religion" in them:

Article 2.

Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. Furthermore, no distinction shall be made on the basis of the political, jurisdictional or international status of the country or territory to which a person belongs, whether it be independent, trust, non-self-governing or under any other limitation of sovereignty.

(1) Men and women of full age, without any limitation due to race, nationality or religion, have the right to marry and to found a family. They are entitled to equal rights as to marriage, during marriage and at its dissolution.
(2) Marriage shall be entered into only with the free and full consent of the intending spouses.

Article 18.

Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance.

Notice how it shows that the OP is full of shit, lying, and notice how Islam contradicts a numerous amount of resolutions/human rights declared by the UN?
