Lestat do you share Abu's sentiments about Osama?
Quote:your hypocricy was exposed when you agreed with laws outlawing holocaust denial
Quote me. In fact, try finding where I actually said any of those things you claim. You do have a habbit of making things up as you go along Lestat. I think your claims about freedom of speech and why you are allowed here are a bit ironic given what I actually said on the issue:
http://www.ozpolitic.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1217813944/15#15Freedom of speech should protect even loonies like the holocaust deniers. haha...I'm glad you linked that thread, cause it highlights your hypocricy and double standards.
Anyway, I see that you've been selective on which of your quotes you posted.
You then did go on to say.
"I agree.
material published on the website denies the reality of the Holocaust and makes antisemitic statements. "
You clearly state here that holocaust denial is not ok, cause anti-semetic statements are not ok.
You then when on to argue how making 'anti-semetic' remarks should not be allowed...yet ironically, your all for making anti-muslim remarks.
So as you can see, you clearly feel that criticism of muslims is 'freedom of speech'...yet denying the holocaust is 'anti-semetic', and your ideals of 'freedom of speach' mysteriously disapear.
Ironically, in the very same thread, you went on to say ...
"Islam is a religion. Semite is a race. If someone were to attack Arabs in the same way, the same rules should apply. "
"Pretty much. Criticism of religion is fine. Religious discrimination isn't. "
Yet when islamophobe's here are advocating that very thing, religous dsicrimination...not only do you not object, no, you actually support thier claims.
As I said fd...you don't really believe in freedom of speech...you use it as a facade to hide behind, to attack those you want to attack.
