The current standard for restricting speech — or punishing it after it has in fact caused violence — was laid out in the 1969 case Brandenburg vs. Ohio. Under the narrower guidelines, only speech that has the intent and the likelihood of inciting imminent violence or lawbreaking can be limited.

Unfortunately, a simple statement such as "I think Islam is a false religion" is enough to incite violence among the muzzies.

This is like the gun issue. Free speech doesn’t kill. Terrorists do. And the truth be told...the terrorists (with few exceptions) are Muslims acting in the name of their “false” religion.

just the sight of Michelle Bachmann or Sarah Palin has caused some of the mentally ill to resort to violence.numerous news stories prove this.

not sure how you legislate civility, but I’m sure our leftist overlords have it all figured out for us.

your name means ‘without pants’, right? (I’m deeply offended!!)
