I am wondering if this goes to the fire in a crowded theater theory that our SC uses. I don't think the "fire in a crowded theater theory" is really at all relevant to this case. A better fit would be the "fighting words doctrine" but that doctrine (fortunately in my opinion) has become more restricted in recent years. Message 22137845

But insulting Jews or Christians doesnt rise to that level because Jews and Muslims for the most part dont react to such crap with violence. So we have a double standard perhaps endosed by our own SC???? Well, if anything.. we now have a great rationale for protesting any satirical Arabic cartoons related to Jesus or Christianity... Hawk
