What freedom of others is Abu seeking to curtail?
Just about all of them. Freedom of religion. Freedom of speech. Freedom of dress. Freedom to choose who you have sex with without the government interfering. Plus democracy.
Wow, that's quite a list! But on second thoughts, curtailing those things a bit might be beneficial.
Freedom of religion. No great loss in my opinion, and certain to reduce a lot of unproved speculation.
Freedom of speech. We don't have that now. Just try publishing an analysis of the troubles Israel and Jews have brought upon the world, and see how long you last.
Freedom of dress. I would want more details of the prescribed dress code before forming an opinion about that.
Freedom to choose who you have sex with without the government interfering. There are plenty of people now in gaol who can assure you we don't have that now.
Plus democracy. The system we labour under at present is a sham democracy at best. Perhaps curtailing that so that something better can be introduced might not be a bad thing.
