yes no debate indeed, the MCB guy should be applauded for what he said, why? because he is using your own system against you, when you mock, insult, and attack Islam, what do you say? you say the west is freedom, freedom to publish and write for or against a system etc, so therefore we are allowed to do the same thing if we want, as you say FREEDOM.
so to you it is OK to say freedom of speech when it is about or pertaining to any sort of extremism, in this case an extreme form of Islam that decieves and manipulates a novice into believing Islam is something that it is not. But then it is not OK for a dutch newspaper to print profound images of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)?
I live in the west and I hold my freedoms close to me, however I do think that it has gone to a, yes wait for it,........extreme! I dont believe pictures or images of the prophet (pbuh) should be printed anymore than I believe literature that could possible incite violence, backwards thinking or political coups should be printed. I also dont believe that literature should be published to provoke people to isolate themselves from other people just because of their religion, to me it would appear to be a form of bigotry. You should also note that everything that I just described goes against the Quran, so what is it doing in a mosque?
I dont think that when people were implementing the idea of free speech they were thinking that such a priviledge and freedom would be abused and manipulated the way that it is today. It has turned into a joke, take OJ Simpsons book for example, he went on trial the double homicide and was aquitted, many years later he writes a book titled "IF I DID IT, THIS IS HOW IT WAS DONE" and when looking at the book cover you can barely see the word "I". It is a sick way to twist the system and abuse the system, his book along with the ones described in the original article on this thread, and any others that endorse hatred, bigotry, murder, etc. should all be banned or trashed or I would be happy to use them as a life time supply as toilet paper.
As for "The_Prince"s onslaught of comments about free speech and the treatment of the royal Saudi family, I will say one of your comments was absolutely correct, in that he who has the money has the control of the honey. However, the comments on free speech were a good laugh. No one is taking these books off the shelf and the writer of the article was simply exercising his right of free speech to criticize the authors, mosques and countries that allow such hate filled trash. It is his right to do so and until the books are banned from the country free speech prevails. So your argument would be considered futile in that you just dont like to hear this guy talk trash about these mosques or about the books, just as the books talk trash about this guy and his country, get it?
