Here’s what people don’t realize. The death of free speech doesn’t happen suddenly. It erodes over time. First you can’t draw cartoons that offend. Next you can’t serve bacon because that might offend. Then muslim taxi drivers can refuse to carry women without headscarves or those carrying dogs. Freedom of Speech is eroded in small segments. How far are some Americans willing to go down that road?

How about a Muslim for a neighbor who starts whining when you grill pork and the smoke wafts into his yard? I wouldn't be surprised if this, in fact, hasn't already happened somewhere.
