Caveat: Here’s what few people seem to grasp.

Even supporters of free speech do not support the use of free speech as an incitement to murder.

As practiced in many mosques, Islam uses free speech as an incitement to murder.

Any review of clips on memri.org will document that mosques are frequently used to preach violent hatred and murder against non-Muslims, precisely following the view of the Koran Rusty presents in his post.

Here is how one Saudi columnist described his personal experience with this incitement to murder, just last February. tinyurl.com

“If we want to protect our young children from one day becoming fanatics or terrorists, we need to provide them with a completely new culture that is radically different than the religious, intellectual, and social culture that has dominated us for many decades, and still does. Instead of teaching your children hostility, or letting someone else teach them hostility, towards those of other religions, teach [them] religious tolerance, which will [ensure that while] they differ from others in religion, they will share with them their common humanity…

“If he listens to the imam at the mosque praying at the top of his voice for [Allah] to destroy [others], ask him to forget what he heard, and to remember to love all and harbor hatred towards none, and [tell him] that the values that [should] motivate him are those of coexistence and cooperation.”

The Saudi columnist plainly states that the result of imams preaching an incitement to murder at mosques, is that children become terrorists.

It is a mistake to support incitement to murder - one which is massively documented as resulting in murder, in the worldwide murders committed in the name of Islam - as being an acceptable use of free speech.

Proclaiming one’s support of free speech while ignoring this deadly danger is to blind oneself to the facts.

It is essential - if we are to protect ourselves from this violence - that we come up with a policy that defends our free speech, while eliminating the incitement to murder that is inherent in the view of the Koran Rusty himself presents, and which is of course therefore often preached in mosques.
