"Saudi Arabia, Communist China, and Zionist Israel are perfect examples of governments organized on false religious and political ideals that cannot withstand dynamic and open discussion."

Are you suggesting that free speech restrictions are exclusive
to Islamic, Communist or 'Zionist' states?

What about the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The UK is a christian country (the head of state is also head of the church) The UK has no written constitution, no guarantee of free speech. It has an Official Secrets Act and numerous anti-terrorist acts which it freely uses to gag the press.

BTW - in what way is Israel 'zionist'. How do you define 'zionism'?
