Gus > The misplaced defense of free speech By Aseem Shrivastava. Excellent piece, profoundly intellectual and also spiritual and I don't think the author is a Muslim. I read it a few times. Unfortunately, its message will not find ready acceptance in many Western minds. Relevant to our discussion about SI and what one says or doesn't say: >>Freedom is to know the balance between silence and speech, to know when and about what to speak in public, not to rave and rant at will, not caring for the sensitivities of others. Hate-mongering is not freedom of speech. If one is able to think one's thoughts freely, one would not partake of vulgarity, or imagine that one's own freedom can be earned at the cost of that of others. One would never mistake power for freedom. The former is a zero-sum game, the latter is not, for it implies that the freedom of each is contingent on the freedom of all. <<
