Pushing for those 'Hate Speech' Laws again i guess. Haven't Americans already decided they don't want to go the way of Western Europe on restricting Free Speech? So why do they keep pushing this? And i know i'm an 'Islamophobic Racist' so lets just get that accusation & insult out of the way up front. No need to spend so much time on that accusation...
The State Department began a three-day, closed-door meeting Monday to talk about U.S. free speech rules with representatives from numerous Islamic governments that have lobbied for 12 years to end U.S. citizens ability to speak freely about Islams history and obligations.
Free speech advocates slammed the event as an effort to gradually curb public criticism of Islam, but it was defended by Hannah Rosenthal, who heads the agencys office to curb anti-Semitism.
The meeting is a great success, she said, because governments in the multinational Organisation for Islamic Cooperation have dropped their demand that criticism of Islamic ideas be treated as illegal defamation. Member countries include Pakistan, Iran, Saudia Arabia and Qatar.
In exchange for dropping the demand, she said, theyre getting technical assistance [to] build institutions to ensure there will be religious freedom in their countries, she told The Daily Caller.
Thats a joke, said Andrea Lafferty, a conservative activist who was repeatedly denied information about the meeting.
