re: #719 Obdicut

Also, people in countries where governments violently suppress protests have difficulty believing just how real and true our freedom of speech is.

I think I mentioned this a few days ago, but I recall reading an account of interview between a Western journalist and a Muslim fundamentalist whose exact job title I can’t recall. The journalist describes arguing with this guy over freedom of religion, and being told that the United States executes heretical Christians, so why shouldn’t Muslim states do the same to heretical Muslims?

The journalist, after much argument, finally sorts out that the guy is talking about…wait for it…Waco…which he believes was an assault on Koresh’s group for heresy.
