re: #656 Pastorius

I say: Advocating for Sharia is advocating for the overthrow of the United States Constitution. As such, anyone who does so ought to be prosecuted and imprisoned.

Would you not agree?

Nope. People here in the US are allowed to advocate all sorts of horrible and distasteful ideas including fascism, communism, anarchy, monarchy, etc. We have a free market place of ideas and some of the ideas stink but the market must remain free and open. To start putting limits on freedom of ideas is very dangerous as Geert and the rest of Europe is now starting to learn.
