You need to understand that the U.S. does not own the whole world and there are other countries besides the U.S. I know it may be shocking for you to hear, but those other countries have drawn the "freedom of speech line" differently than the U.S. Calling Muhammad a pedophile (even if factually correct) is not legal in many parts of the world. Because, as I said, it is faceless bureaucrats who are drawing the line on what can be said and what can't. And that's not a good thing. Why do you place so much faith in faceless bureaucrats?


Well, if something is factually true it should not be disallowed to be said, right? But calling for the death of others should be, again, right?


I 100% agree with you! That's how the line "should be" drawn! Unfortunately, when you let faceless bureaucrats draw the line, they don't draw it where you want them to!
