There's a difference between having the freedom to express your disapproval of something verbally, and the freedom to murder(or encourage violence against) those with whom you disagree
See if you read that statement couple of more times you would see the problem. You are basically saying you are allowed to express yourself but you are not allowed to others what to do like let's say kill the infidels, but what if you are not telling other to kill infidels but you are expressing your hate towards the infidels which could potentially result in the deaths of innocent people? Hence Inciting hate, or hate speech which is banned in Western countries.
Who said it was condoned other than yourself? What about the abuse of children in the Catholic Church? What about the rape statistics in western 'Christian' countries? For that matter when did western 'christian' countries decide that men did not have to beat their wives when they wanted to? You mean to suggest that while the Nazi's were killing Jews, the Americans hanging blacks, the South Africans regime doing whatever it had to hang on to power all you can think of is how possibly many Muslim men don't treat their women with the the 'respect' very few other other religions and societies show their women?
Your just wasting my time here and showing up your bias and general hatred of anything different from yourself.
But what exactly did he depict? Are you going to share that with the rest of the group or should i? Why do you have so much sympathy for people who know just enough about 'freedom' to believe that this gives them universal rights to slander others as well as protection against the resulting anger? Which planet are you from?
Lol. So your telling me that you believe that Muslims are generally more prone to violence when their faith or institutions are attacked? Will you provide proof or is that just the type of presumption all your bigoted attacks rest on?
You talk about understanding yet everything you say indicates a totally uninformed ( or shall i say propagandized) view of both Muslim culture/religion and all the rest. Well done on not being able to spot the bigoted and racist behaviour that is so inherent in all the major monotheistic religions. Well done on proving that you picked one and are thus forced to attack the other for no reason other than the fact that you feel compelled to prove that you are 'better' without having actual evidence of individual excellence.
Sad.
Stellar

Whats with all the citing of "goals to wipe out Israel"? Zionists have stated time and time again they want to wipe out Arabs from the area! They're basically the same people under a different banner. Well, plus one lives in fenced poverty *cough*
The fallacy of your analogy is that you're using the terrm Zionist as a synonym for Israelis/Jews/supporters of Israel and Jews. It most certainly isn't the goal of the Israeli government/military to wipe out Arabs from the area. Israel has been the only party that has been willing to make any compromises in negotiations. Hamas, etc.. will except nothing than an all or nothing solution, and DO seek the eradication of Israel.

I think you need to read more about the Israeli government/IDF. If Israel wanted to eradicate all of the Arabs, there are far more effective ways to go about it. Not every Israeli citizen, soldier, or politician, is a "Zionist" by a long shot. To use the term interchangably is simply inaccurate, and intellectually disengenuous.

My point is that you use the term Zionism interchangably with Israelis, and that's simply not the case. The vast majority of Israelis want nothing more than for things to stop blowing up. They're not interested in expanding the boundaries of Israel.

Everytime you use the term when referring to Israel, you're doing it. I'm not sure how much plainer I can make it for you.

The concept of freedom of speech/expression is that you can state your opinion, even if it is offensive, without having to fear persecution, imprisonment, or physical harm. If someone takes offense, they have the freedom to let you know, and if you've portrayed something inaccurately, show where they're misinformed. Anything less than this is not freedom of speech.

You should stop attempting to use an archaic term when describing the state, government, and peoples of Israel. You are misusing the term.
To refresh your memory, "Zionism" refers to an international political movement to establish a Jewish homeland. I've got news for you bub, the nation of Israel was established more than 50 years ago, and it ain't going anywhere.
Your incorrect use of the term "zionism" would analogous to a British person referring to Americans as "colonists" with their silly notions of independence. The use of the term is an attempt to be demeaning, and is usually uttered from a position of arrogance or bigotry.
Israel is a fully-functioning country and society. They are not going away. Calling supporters of the Israeli state "Zionists" quietly implies that there is the possibility that the establishment of the Israeli state is not yet complete, or is still in the process of being created. This, of course, is nonsense.
If, for some reason, a person does not believe that the Israeli state has been fully established (i.e. by calling them "zionists"), then by extension that person probably believes that Israel can be undone (or more accurately, destroyed). Ergo, using the term "zionist" to describe a supporter of Israel is to tacitly imply that Israel can (and should) be stopped/undone/disregarded.

Not undone, they want more, yes the Zionists, the Zionists who terrorised the Brits and then became the leaders of Israel. But they haven't captured the whole Bible Israel so we can still call them Zionists. That was the mission ohh you forgot, when they just arrived from Europe where they were being massacred, to Palestine they called the whole land of being part of Israel.
