I'm for freedom of speech, even if Muslims get ticked off. I've never heard of anyone getting prosecuted for "defaming" another religion. Religious beliefs are fine for those that believe them, but beliefs are not above criticism.

Certainly. I didn't hear that modern Christians were suing (let alone threatening to kill) Martin Scorcese for defamation after "The Last Temptation of Christ" or other attacks on those who criticize Christianity or Christians. Nobody heard of rampaging buddists after Taleban destroyed ancient Buddah statues in Afghanistan. Islam should not be given a special protected from criticism status.

We do not allow communists to immigrate to America, because they want to overthrow our system. How can we let the Muslims come here, when they clearly have in mind the overthrow of our Constitution?
