That’s true, and I know this has been brought up, and all the other devious acts and coverups may overshadow her comment, but isn’t that what we are supposed to be defending, our rights, in this case 1st ammendment? What’s the point in any of this if it comes down to we cant’s make some comment or statement that insults Islam? Then they won!

“Then they won!”

They win if we let them intimidate us into silence...

Liable if one made an untrue public statement about another person, first of all would be Civil not criminal. Even with that, giving one’s opinion doesn’t count and it’s pretty easy to phrase it as your opinion. Or you could say “I heard” such and such, and it becomes impossible to prove that your statement is not true.

Any “hate speech” laws would have to be directed at a living individual, not something broad like a religion.

Don’t be intimidated. If they shut you up they won...
