Besides this being dystopian out of the western libertarian pov, i wonder what it actually does against crime? I imagine a crime free city would be an interesting human phenomenon without equal. The side effects of there not being any undetected and unprosecuted crime would be fascinating.
Whether you like China or not, Islamic fundamentalism is a huge problem to global peace today. Not just in the Middle East, Europe, but also parts of Southeast Asia (Malaysia, Philipphines) and China. The problem is people clinging to old time religious beliefs that women are inferior and must be veiled and that infidels are not worthy We've slowly dispelled Christian fervor (which used to be just as bad as Islamic f…
"But we at least must do something about it" Like oppress an entire region of people who aren't committing violence to get to the handful who are?
The left's deep love and devotion to a religion that oppresses their other favoured groups - gays and women - astonishes me.

And while freedom of expression is important, it is limited (especially in Germany). Racists expressions are a no-no pretty much everywhere.
Now Jews feel increasingly unsafe in the streets of Europe.
Change a few keywords and it sounds more like the current situation in the USA.

Wow, such an uninformed generalized comment. Not something you would expect to see at hacker news.
Anyway, just because the West had problems with Christianity does not mean the East have the same problems with Islam. That is one of the reasons why Islam has more practicing followers than any other religion on earth.

Global peace is and always has been threatened by only one thing: inequality and greed. Religious fundamentalism may often be used as the ideological substrate for violence, but I think we've seen enough the last hundred years to know that any old ideology will do, without any spiritual element.
Where do you get this certainty from? What about population pressures? What about religous disagreements, what about nationalism? Old grudges? Why can't fundamental belief systems be part of the substrate of this equation that results in war. They change every other aspect of life and politics in many cases.

As opposed to the western approach which lets religious fundamentalists profess their anti-semitism, anti-atheism and misoginy freely and violently?
