re: #117 Vik

It is certainly admirable to want to defend freedom of religion absolutely. However, an examination of the Koran, and of the Hadith (the life of Mohammed), appears to reveal an utter dedication to the extermination of the rights of freedom and of religion of all non-Muslims. In short, as the famous saying goes, tolerance of intolerance is neither virtuous nor reasonable. If an organization dedicated to killing all those who are not members of it, happens to also be a religion, are we then barred from defending ourselves against it?

The way you “defend yourself” against Islam is by using your power of free speech to argue, demonstrate and reveal what you think should be known. Not by banning religion, and taking away the rights of others.

Fascists ban books, and ban religions. Not people who believe in democracy.
