This just in: https://twitter.com/michellemalkin/status/110076019755373773... Twitter sends legal warning for blasphemy. They couldn't find better timing for illustrating the point.

The amount of ‘America! Fuck yea!’ in that thread is cringe inducing. Is there nobody trying to talk about the issue at hand without invoking any of the crazy emotional appeals to American exceptionalism or Muslim hatred?

I was literally arguing, that the nice theoretical point of guaranteed free speech is null and void by the current implementation of communication/publishing/payment processing. Where do you find 'America! Fuck yea!' in that? If anything, it is a critique of the current status, which hides ugly reality behind nice theory.

> or Muslim hatred?

Oh boy, another huge can of worms. Muslims still have no idea, what is a hatred in the West. They interchange criticism with hatred, and then they react somewhere between rioting to violence, fueling the vicious circle. They have no idea how Christians were/are pushed around in the West (you can start with the Covington issue recently: they were automatically guilty for being white and Catholics); or don't even consider how they behaved/are behaving towards Christians in the Middle East. Food for thought: ever seen Christian no-go zone in Saudi Arabia? Thought so.

It’s stunning to read this. Are you really claiming you haven’t seen hatred towards Muslims?

> hey have no idea how Christians were/are pushed around in the West

And there’s where it goes from stunning to laughable. Yes, Christians, truly the most oppressed people in the West.

It is a fraction compared to the hatred from Muslims.

Not only in the West; try being a Christian in the Middle East. You know, the countries controlled by Muslims today. Are you going to claim with a straight face, that they are not opressed?

Don’t try to deflect by putting words in my mouth.

> Not only in the West

How?
