IIRC, the ACLU defended the KKK’s right to march in the heavily (almost exclusively) Jewish town of Skokie, IL (late 80’s/early 90’s). I’m not sure this is too different from a First Amendment perspective. Same argument that WaPo and others love can be made for the ever-popular (on the left) America flag stomping.
Have we heard a peep out of the ACLU?
I can see it now- A bunch of Muzzie terrorists attack a Washington dinner party. Kathleen Parker tells them about her column defending their right to be offended...right before they rape and behead her.
What country am I living in?
That is all.
“Waging a one-woman crusade against the Muslim world .... “

Someone needs to. Hillary, Obama, and the left are talking about women’s rights while ignoring the brutality against women in the name of islam. The left is nothing but hypocrites.
The libs have finally found their religion. You could say the have had their “come to Allah” moment. They apologize for Islam while slandering Christianity...
Did Parker condemn Charlie Hebdo for running their cartoons?
This is very simple. The left tolerates Muslims because they are one component of the conglomerate of useful idiots that are trying to destroy America as a republic. It has nothing to do with free speech.
Diversity and tolerance are just code words that mean patriots aren’t allowed to interfere with the left’s shepherding of people who want to destroy our country. Their message is, “sit back and watch your birthright be eaten away by termites, or else!”
Muslims, just like all the other groups of useful idiots the left is using to destroy the republic, will be tossed aside when they are no longer needed.
Whether we agree or not we cannot compromise or let people like Parker tell us what the limitations are on our First Amendment Rights. Another step down the road to Censorship.
Wonder how the Press will like that when it is applied to them????????
This would be the same Kathleen Parker that, on Jan 8, urged readers of her Facebook page to subscribe to Charlie Hebdo as a demonstration of solidarity with the victims of the jihadists and to stand for free speech. Jes suis hypocrisy?
Interesting. I haven’t WaPo run a single article lamenting “abuse of free speech” against the continuous parodies and attacks on Morons, Jews, and Christians. Is it because Muslims will kill you and the other won’t, or is it simply because WaPo is in love with Mohammedanism , the religion that treats women worst than cattle and imposes the death penalty on anyone who disagrees with them about anything?
She connects things that are not similar. Kathleen is a good writer and thinker. Too bad she leans liberal. That is not the problem with this column in that it is not so much liberal vs. conservative. But she is connecting things that are not similar. I’ve read some very sharp criticism and ridicule in some of her very own columns. But I guess that is different to her. Everyone thinks they can and others cannot.
Westboro is in a category of its own. They are in your face tacky for no productive reason other than to help the left make their case. If Geller took her cartoons as posters held up at Muslim funerals then you may have a comparison.
Kathleen Parker, the faux conservative, seems as troubled by Pamela Geller as she was by Sarah Palin.
Methinks Kathleen has a problem with strong women...
You haul out a picture of Muhammad; “they” haul out a fatwa. Cat puts out cheese; mouse gets eaten. What does one expect?
We are soooooo sensitive vis-a-vis our devout Muslim citizens.. sure they oppose ISIS so do many Arab states.
So we cannot offend them with a stupid cartoon. What's next? Our heritage of justice?
But the name callers would scream "Bigots! Islamophobes! There is nothing in Islam's teachings about taking over the law of the land. Let us teach you about Islam. The Quran instructs that absolute justice -- not religion -- must be the ruling government's guiding principle."
OK fine. What is Quran justice?
From Part 1. "In Islam, justice is significant as it is one of the 99 Divine Attributes of Allah . . . Islam laid down foundations to regulate relationships among all individuals of the society and foremost among these bases is social justice . . . there has been no social justice or anything like it in any society or civilization before the advent of Islam."
Islam and Social Justice Part 2 A human being cannot establish absolute justice because he is just a mere human . . . the divine social justice advocated by Islam is an integrated system for justice enjoined by the Creator of man and all other creatures . . . Justice is Allah’s attribute, and to stand firm for justice is to be a witness to Allah, even if it is detrimental to our own interests (as we conceive them) or the interests of those who are near and dear to us . . . The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has given . . . the moral of justice which [is to be] observed with all people without any sort of discrimination. The story of the noble woman who stole and the reaction of the Prophet to Usama’s intercession [teaches us that Allah's Prescribed Punishments command the same punishment for all regardless of social status : cut off the noble woman's hand]. It goes beyond the scope of this paper to relate the countless examples that show the Prophet’s absolute justice and fair dealing with all human beings, and even with animals.
Being an dumb Islamophobe and all -- I will ask:
How can one be a true Muslim without accepting that only their god can define justice? Screw the islamophobe Founding Fathers.
Name calling not appreciated but contumely welcomed. I have quite a collection over the years. :)
ok, let me see if i understand this...
1) burning the flag = NOT an abuse of free speech
2) Harry Reid on the senate floor calling Romney a tax cheat without a shred of evidence = NOT an abuse of free speech
3) democRATS calling George W. Bush a NAZI = NOT an abuse of free speech
4) democRATS making films fantasizing about assassinating George W. Bush = NOT an abuse of free speech
5) democRAT actors/comedians advocating that people they don’t like be imprisoned/murdered = NOT an abuse of free speech
etc.
etc..
etc...
however, Pam Geller holding a drawing contest with the subject being the FALSE pedophile prophet of a phony religion who personally murdered, raped, and enslaved many thousands of people during his lifetime, and whose followers have done the same to many millions more since his death, while also waging war against anyone who doesn’t share in their belief that this FALSE prophet acted and spoke on behalf of God = an abuse of free speech.
hmmmm.
seems legit.
/sarc
PS - for many more examples of liberals abusing free speech, see http://www.conservapedia.com/Liberal_hate_speech
Muslims don’t like pics of Muhammad. They also don’t like homosexuals and women’s rights.
So should we respect all the muzzie wishes or just the ones the liberals select?
How is it that desecration of Christian symbols is ‘art’, but mocking Islam is hate speech? The liberals taught America how to trash religion and think it’s cute-what’s the problem now?
How interesting the Left gets to define what’s abusive speech. What next, criticizing the IS will be deemed abusive.
