Ballester has never been reluctant to speak out, even when it means challenging the perspective of his own bishop. The essay that earned him the hate crime charge was originally a response to a pastoral message from Omella titled “The Necessary Dialogue with Islam.”

When the Reconquista ended in 1492, I bet nobody in Spain ever thought it’d be a crime again to criticize Islam.

“dialog” is another synonym for submission.

“There is no longer any true right to free speech in Spain,” Ballester said.

Ballestar is of course correct. But my I add:

There is no longer any true right to free speech in America

Lots of evidence exists, but just one recent example is From landing whales to snatching minnows: Steve Baker’s arrest disgraces the FBI

Hate crime laws need to be eliminated in their entirety. The establishment just uses them to censor and silence people that challenge their narrative.

Wonder if the movie EL CID is still legal to show in Spain.

Opening scene:

The Prophet has commanded us
to rule the world.
Where in all your land of Spain
is the glory of Allah?
When men speak of you,
they speak of poets...
music makers, doctors, scientists.
Where are your warriors?
You dare call yourselves
sons of the Prophet?
You have become women!
Burn your books.
Make warriors of your poets.
Let your doctors invent
new poisons for our arrows.
Let your scientists
invent new war machines.
And then, kill!
Burn.
Infidels live on your frontiers.
Encourage them to kill each other.
And when they are weak and torn...
I will sweep up from Africa...
and thus the empire of the one God,
the true God Allah...
- Allah is the one God.
- will spread.
First, across Spain.
Then, across Europe.
Then, the whole world!

Islam has been at war with everything, even itself, since it was founded by low IQ tribal pedos. It is the only religion I can think of that encourages and rewards the most base evil parts of humanity.

Islam is incompatible with Western Civilization.
