211. That's what it boils down to.
"You are struggling. tossing every heartstring tugging instance, every indignity, every possible excuse you can muster, to actually justify calls for the murder of an entire people. It's disgusting. It's horrible. It's haunting. It's disturbing."

How in the world can a society be healthy if it allows certain groups to encourage and call for the **murder** of other groups of people in that society? I'm absolutely beside myself that people here would support the "rights" of groups to use speech to recruit suicide bombers to murder people. How anybody can stick up for that under the guise of free speech is jaw-dropping.

These people who think that free speech has no boundaries have NEVER lived in a country like that, and they never will. America has never allowed for unconditional free speech. Some people seem to think that limiting the "free speech" of al-Manar is a right-wing, racist action of some sort. That is not the case. Nobody can unconditionally encourage or call for the murder of other people. I dare any one of the people who think otherwise to publically encourage or call for the murder of The Pr.......well, I can't even say it or I might get in big trouble. The point is, this limit to free speech is nothing new. And it's not a bad thing. It's in the best interest of society at large to prohibit al-Manar from having free access to our airwaves. The outrage about free speech on this thread seems naive. But the blind support for the "rights" of murder-enthusiasts is f-ing psycho.
