Perhaps a jury will do what politicians refuse to do. While I am completely libertarian on freedom of speech, it is interesting to note that the "stop defamation" crowd NEVER finds anything remotely "hate speech" if it deals with condemnation of a certain Zionistic entity and practicioners of a religion connect to that same entity. Indeed, those who are the most "sensitive" to slurs against Islam (real or imaginary) are the biggest practicioners of Jew-hatred ranging from subtle to overt.

Free speech is no longer available in this country. I predict that it won’t be long before you write a column like this about someone in the USA. Free speech is no longer available in this country.
