SHUT THE HELL UP. Four little words that CAN define and defend YOUR right to free speech. When you tell someone to shut the hell up you are NOT removing their right to free speech you are INVOKING YOUR right not to listen to their bullsh8t.
So lets start with the words of Voltaire shall we?
Seems pretty damn simple and up front to me. NOW the issue taking place HERE at San Diego State.
We the Muslim Student Association at San Diego State University…
Demand of Students:
YOUR RIGHT to be critical IS your freedom of speech. Granted I DO support those students right to say or publish whatever they hell they want. If it fails in the populace its just another example of a failed attack on freedom much like liberal radio. But the MAJOR sticking point being you do NOT increase a right by removing it from others.
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
When you remove the right to be critical you remove the ability for populace to advance. Innovation in tech is found by those who challenge that days given status quo. If those students get their way saying anything Anti-islamic will be a crime. If democrats get their way saying anything Anti-islamic on the net will be a crime.
What OTHER religious/political/charity groups are extended THAT right? Then you have your "slippery slope" argument. What IF they made speaking out against democrats a hate crime? Who does that serve and does it benefit ALL Americans?
Your rights are being attacked by many groups from many sides. Americans TRULY need to do two things.
1. PROTECT your 2nd to KEEP your 1st.
2. Quit being afraid to tell some group of rabble to SHUT THE HELL UP.

We the Muslim Student Association at San Diego State University…
Demand of Students:
- We demand that the students who witnessed the attack step forward and help aid in the investigation
- We demand that students create a more inclusive campus climate by promoting tolerance and acceptance between different cultures and religions
- We demand that the SDSU administration enact a zero tolerance policy explicitly for Islamophobic speech and actions as well as targeted bigotry towards any other identity group
- We demand that the SDSU administration make bystander training mandatory for faculty, staff, and students
- We demand that the SDSU administration increase coursework offered on Islam that is balanced and comprehensive to create a more informed and accepting SDSU community – and alleviate misconceptions and hate toward the Muslim students on campus
- We demand that the SDSU administration provide substantially more funding for The Center for Intercultural Relations as necessitated by the needs of the students, and to give the Center more autonomy in representing the best interests of marginalized students
- We demand that the SDSU administration address, alleviate, and eliminate systems of oppression that disproportionately target students of color, womyn, and all marginalized students on campus
- We demand that our government officials at a local, state, and federal level cease their fear mongering anti-Islamic rhetoric, and that they recognize that the dehumanization of refugees and scapegoating of the Muslim faith enables an environment for attacks like this to occur
