It's nice to see a publication so seriously grapple with the issues of free speech in the digital age. :|

It's quite incredible how progressives defend Islam. The self-deceiving needed is pathological. They are teetering on the edge of insanity.

As a religious person I would prefer an Islamic take-over to an atheistic State any day, but let's be clear that Islamic democracy is not liberal democracy (that democracy where minorities are not coerced in the private sphere), and Islamic 'peace' is very much on their own terms and not in a "love your enemies and do good to them who do ill to you" kind of way of Christianity.

The wonderful irony, however, is that equality dogmas and anti-discrimination laws have heralded the end of liberal democracy in the so-called "Free West". Apart from a few hold out States in the US, the West has embraced the dictatorship of the Equality fanatics.

"It's a free country", no it isn't.

It is wrong to generalize an entire group of people by the actions of a few.

So you prefer any religion over no religion? Oh brother.

You've been breaking the guidelines badly, consistently. Could you please review them?

> Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.

> Eschew flamebait. Don't introduce flamewar topics unless you have something genuinely new to say. Avoid unrelated controversies and generic tangents.

What does that have to do with the 1st Amendment? "Free speech" means the government can't pass laws regulating protected free speech, but not all speech is constitutionally protected. Youtube, Facebook, etc. are businesses. They are in no way obligated to host your content for free. Just go pay for your own hosting if you find the free platform's policies too restrictive. Besides hate speech is not legally considered constitutionally protected speech anyways, so it's a moot point.
