All of us, every single man, woman, and child on the face of the Earth were born with the same unalienable rights; to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And, if the governments of the world can't get that through their thick skulls, then, regime change will be necessary.

And suppression of freedom is _____________?
Asked yesterday what the group would do if banned, Anjem Choudary, Bakri’s right-hand man, said: “It may push a lot of people underground, and that is something the government should be concerned about.”

Anyway, conspiring to implement Sharia in any country in the world, ought to be arrested and put in jail for the rest of their life, because Sharia is a violation of Human Rights. Therefore, advocating for Sharia is advocating for the overthrow of decent government. In other words, it is a form of Treason.

That's quite a link. Wow! The erroneous perception of being offended has now resulted in threats? Had to happen, of course.

Scary stuff - isn't it? One can try to speculate on the future.
Expressing anything as negative on Muslims will be forbidden. Also expressing anything that may be perceived as negative will be forbidden. I wonder if it will be forbidden not no express something positive. Further. Will it be frowned upon to express something that might be perceived as positive? Is there not then a risk it might be perceived negatively?
I am going to need an expert in political correctness.
I wonder if people who are into PC go through this kind of rationalisation every time before expressing anything. Is this why everything the say is BS?
sorry, should be
"why everything THEY say is BS?"
