re: #353 Totally Berserk

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?

Then we fight back. But not by telling them they are not free to practice their religion.

Hell, we have many groups in this country that hate black, jews, catholics, conservatives etc. and talk smack about those groups every day.

In publications, in meetings, in tracts and handouts, in radio shows and TV shows and on the internet.

We even have groups that regularly meet to discuss and plan armed insurrection and civil war in this country.

Where have any of these groups managed to become bigger than our freedoms?

They haven’t. And Islam will not take over this country any more so. And if you think so, then your faith in this country is weak and damaged.
