So when I say that 99%+ of terrorism today is committed by Muslims, you think that is hate speech? That is a fact, not hate speech. When I say that Muslim culture is corrupted and isn't adding anything of value to civilization today, you think that is hate speech? That is a fact, not hate speech. When I agree with Tancredo's comments on creating a credible threat to the Muslim world of nuking Mecca in retaliation for any future 9/11 scale attacks, that isn't hate speech, that is figuring out a way to get through to Muslim governments that we aren't going to sit idly by while they fund and support terrorists who attack us. Mutually assured destruction was what kept Russia and the U.S. from attacking each other. If we can create similar leverage against the Muslim world, then perhaps it will create a similar incentive to not attack each other. That to me is reasonable, not hate speech. What is laughable is that you and others on this thread are so blinded by political correctness, that you can't even think straight anymore. The kind of hate speech we are dealing with today is when someone says that killing a bunch of other people is necessary and is an obligation as part of their religion. If you think that is ok, then I think the best thing for you to do is shut your eyes and put your hands to your ears as the Americans with common sense decide how to deal with such an obvious threat. Because the solution isn't going to be to continue to allow such obvious threats to continue, despite your fervent wishes. People with common sense aren't going to allow more people to die, just so you can feel that your warped sense of freedom of speech is being catered to.
