Tricky subject with no easy answer. What I will say, is that I think the governments should not grant allowance to burn religious scripture, or destruction of important symbols outside of embassies. That I think is 100% taking it too far. You are now purposefully, intending to incite a group of people. And there is no doubt that, that is your intent.
Personally I’ve been back and forth on my stance as I’ve reflected on the proposal, various arguments for and against, and my thoughts. I’m leaning towards it shouldnt be banned in public in general. But it should not be allowed directly outside of embassies as the only intention to wanting to do that is to incite others.
Nope. Freedom is Freedom. Can’t compromise with extremists. Burn any book whenever, wherever. If you’re offended, tough cookies.
Not nope. You do not have the freedom to incite violence.
Come up with a better argument than “freedom is freedom” because that simply does not exist.
You also do not have the freedom to roam the streets nude.
We have freedom of speech and freedom of expression. That doesn’t mean you can say anything you want. You can’t express yourself in any way you want.
Hate speech is not protected speech here.
And it’s not about giving in to extremeists. They may want the same thing. That doesn’t mean it’s the reason for it.
If you have an actual argument for your stance. Please share it.
You seem to think I’m offended by burning books. I’m not. Doesn’t mean I can’t understand the viewpoint that it can be seen as incitement.
And it’s not about giving in to extremeists. They may want the same thing. That doesn’t mean it’s the reason for it.
So how exactly do you justify the ban without referencing the reaction by violent extremists?
