Britain is way ahead of us on hate speech laws. It's a criminal offense to say things that may offend people on the grounds of color, race, nationality, or ethnic origin. Legislation is in the works now to add religion to the list.

You would think the Brits would get it. They lost a 50 year insurgent war to the IRA. But they don't.

Just received this from a buddy. I concur with his thoughts.

"I have thought about this new British concern and I am attempting to find the right words to describe the murderers we are dealing with and thought maybe we want to call them Bugger Eating Savages, Misbegotten offspring's of unknown ancestry, worshipers of a false prophet, catamites of royal ancestry, rump rangers, and booty bandits of the highest order.

I don't get it with these people, if you look at history any culture that excepts Islam into its culture ultimately disintegrates into violence. It is like an incipient cancer that will grow until cut out."

They can't even teach about the Holocaust or Crusades there

Britain is way ahead of us on hate speech laws.

The main reason why those laws are being focused on is to stop radical muslims spreading the word to kill other people (non muslims).

You can't whine about our laws on both sides of the issue. Either we are doing the right things to stop radical Islam or not.

Make your mind up!
