OK so the gist of the issue here is that people who want to follow a religion are free to do so. We may not take away their right to the free practice of their religion…

Fine so far. But, what happens when that religion begins to try to take away our rights of free speech? What happens when they, through legalistic contrivances combined with raw physical intimidation, start telling us how it’s going to be?

It’s one thing to say we’ll defend their rights and start prosecuting them when they step across a certain line. This presupposes are in the position of strength. What happens when we are not, as is the case in increasing amounts of territory in Europe? Shall we just be intimidated into giving up more neighborhoods to ‘no-go zones’ and self-censorship, as in refraining from criticizing Islam because they scare us?

What happens then?
