    Freedom of expression is a non-negotiable prerequisite for all other human rights. It must be limited when it would be an immediate and present danger to the rights of others. Thus the interdiction of  shouting “fire” in a crowded space when there is no fire. Incitement to violence is not always so clearly definable but this should not be allowed. It is, however, perverse to allow people to curtail a right to freedom of expression by threatening violence. This is what a small minority of extreme religionists are doing. Other more moderate religionists (and others) provide cover for this unacceptable behaviour by failing to make clear and unambiguous their commitment to freedom of expression independent of the subjective quality of the information being transmitted. Granting me the freedom to say something you approve of is to grant me nothing. You support my freedom of expression when I lawfully express something of which you do not approve.

    After centuries we seemed to be getting rid of all of religious nonsense, and ‘our’ politicians are caving in with the new batch of religious nuts, the followers of Mohamed! We all can see what happens were Islam is main-stream; I don’t think we need that in the West. After all, we’ve been there and done that.

    It is a scary proposition to face off with people ranging from uncivil
    to feral particularly when they are often the one’s with power. Their fear makes them very dangerous animals indeed.

    We have the right to be insulted by others, and should be proud when that happens. It means we are making progress.

    We have the right to respond to insults and set the record straight.

    We do not have the right to silence anyone’s speech because we disagree with it, or because we find it offensive.

    “Taking offense” has always been the excuse for book burning and censorship. Those who are offended need to strengthen their own tolerance, not silence others so their fragile thin-skinned egos can be coddled and placated at the expense of freedom.

    As an author, I’m extremely concerned about my freedom to express my ideas in any book I might write: my current books contain expressions towards the negative concerning the rule of Roman Catholic Christianity. We must stand firm against religion once again rising to the state of totalitarian rule, as it once had in Europe under the Roman Catholic Church; dissent against religious hegemony and dogma was met often with death. For hundreds of years, dissenting voices towards religious belief had been severely gagged, and this is still continuing today: now it is the time for new voices to speak out. Now it our time to speak, for Religion has had its say, has had its time, a say and a time that has lasted for centuries, and that time is over for them. Free speech in all its forms must stand free of the self pitying cries of ‘offence’ from all religious quarters.

    We cannot silently tolerate any fanaticism – religious or otherwise – that would destroy the very existance of toleration. Everyone must be free to express themselves. Everyone must have the cultural maturity to take any criticism, tolerate it and learn to laugh at themselves.

    In my experience the resort to physical or legal force or censorship usually is characteristic of those who are trying to suppress a truth rather than suppress a falsehood. The personality cult founded by Mohammed had this character from its beginning, as documented in the Quran, Hadith, and Sira.

    Religions are ideas. And only that. The right to question, criticise, challenge and ridicule ideas – especially those that have no base whatsoever in reason or logic – is absolutely fundamental.

    It’s tragic, but hardly surprising, when the instinctive response from those brainwashed five times a day since birth in a religious cult is one of anger, and violence. In such circumstances, a reply of appeasement and cultural cringe can only damage us all in the long term.

    Good luck with this absolutely vital campaign.

    Focus is usually on Islam and its place and role in the modern world, but it should not be forgotten that freedom of expression can be exercised to debunk any preset way of thinking. A friend of mine complained the other day that it was getting harder and harder to even voice her opinions on the British involvement in the war on terror (Afghanistan and Irak). And she is a British citizen who lives in England. As mentionned above, this is a vital front line and it should be held at all cost.
