Default How do you explain to people without, to grow thicker skin over free speech.
We have a billion or so muslims that just do not get that there is a lot of speech most people in the US dislike, so we ignore it (Westside babtist, Christian symbols in cow dung, this islam video) and they should too. I was listening to npr today and they were interviewing cab drivers in NYC (a high percentage of which were middle easterners) about what the UN general assembly should be discussing in their meetings and again and again the answer was: stop people from slandering Mohammed. There is zero chance of that. Zero.
How do you get this point across to people who believe in censorship?


Like this lady. She is an effing journalist and see's absolutely nothing wrong with what she was doing. What she was doing was not a protest. It was destruction of property and assault. A protest would be standing in front of said ad and denouncing it in an effort to convince others to denounce it, or starting her own counter ad campaign . If people like her are the arab worlds liberals, they have a long ass way to go to actually deserve that term.
