Are the Imans inciting violence

[Redleg]

Sure there are those using speech to incite others to violence. It is being by those on both sides of the spectrum of the issue.

Freedom of Speech is a wonderful thing, if people would exercise the responsiblity that goes along with it. However what you have is a group of individuals that are utilizing speech in an irresponsible way, and claiming that they are protected by the concept of Free Speech to get away with it.

Unfortunately they are both correct - since the government can not prosecute those individuals in most of the western societies - unless of course they are being ballant with thier inciting others to violence, and wrong because they are not accepting responsiblity for their words.

Then you have states that only allow negative speech of outside groups to be vented in their nation, and no counter speech to off set that speech. That is not really Freedom of Speech - that starts to fall into the catergory of state supported propaganda.

For God's sake, Adrian, the whole thing started because they claim your not allowed to make or show pictures of Mohamed. What else need one know?

LOL. It's their theological problem, not yours or mine.

G, I'm certain that if you point out the inherent contradiction of sending and reproducing forbidden pictures, they will cease their naughty ways post-haste.
