    So, the basic beliefs of Islam are fine?

    Shall we break them down?

    Real Nazis aren't Christians. Hitler called Christianity and Nazism "irreconcilable."

    That's gonna cost you at least 3/4 of a letter grade ... I've seen the rubric.

    Well you found your "oh god look over there!" for the day. Congrats.

    Wanna break down the basic beliefs of Christianity? Was the Old Testament God a big fan of free speech?

    You'll find any excuse to justify Nazi terrorism

    But Hitler and the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem were on the same page that the Jews were their common enemy.

    Depends how drunk Moses was when he stumbled down the mountain.

    I'm gonna have to agree with Dick's earlier assessment. I think you're having one of those next day overreactions here.

    You don't seem to have much thought out precisely what it is you mean. Again, do you only mean public assemblies, or are you also advocating banning people from even being allowed to talk or write about it in all other forums as well? And what about the other ideologies (including religions) that also contain hateful teachings that could be construed to fit under that standard?

    I just don't know where we set the line for something like that, and I don't have much trust in our political leaders who'd be in position to decide what does and doesn't fall within your proposed hate speech ban.

    I think I'd rather keep it as it is, and accept that occasionally having to endure dumbasses saying dumbassed Nazi shit is the cost of living in a country that takes its First Amendment free speech rights very seriously.

    Go ahead. You try and write a law banning hate speech that I couldn't apply to Imams preaching every week in America.
