And during WWII, Emperor Hirohito, who was considered a God by the Japanese, was consistently mocked in the US press, I don’t think FDR made any mention that we couldn’t insult the Emperor.
Good point,,, they actually said Hirohito WAS a god. And we sure didn’t respect that. If you arent even free to mock the beliefs of an enemy,,,, how on earth will you ever be able to kill them?
And the enemies worsip was shut down.
