What particular section of the article are you not in agreement with? It seems to me that the main tenet is this paragraph:<br><br>'Americans seem curiously unaware that, in many countries, thoughtful,
modern, secular-minded people don't reject free speech -- they reject
the claim that it protects <i>The Innocence of Muslims.</i> Under the
most advanced legal norms in their countries, free speech doesn't
include the right to incite hatred against racial or religious groups.'<br><br>Seems like just a statement of fact to me that Americans seem curiously unaware about how so-called 'free speech' is thought of in many countries (let alone our own).<br><br>-Scott<br><br><br><div><div id="yiv545333477ecxyiv273589087SkyDrivePlaceholder"></div><hr id="yiv545333477ecxyiv273589087stopSpelling">From: <a rel="nofollow" ymailto="mailto:philosopher.joe@gmail.com" target="_blank" href="mailto:philosopher.joe@gmail.com">philosopher.joe@gmail.com</a><br>Date: Thu, 27 Sep 2012 12:00:32 -0700<br>To: <a rel="nofollow" ymailto="mailto:art.deco.studios@gmail.com" target="_blank" href="mailto:art.deco.studios@gmail.com">art.deco.studios@gmail.com</a><br>CC: <a rel="nofollow" ymailto="mailto:vision2020@moscow.com" target="_blank" href="mailto:vision2020@moscow.com">vision2020@moscow.com</a><br>Subject: Re: [Vision2020] Another perspective on free speech<br><br><div>I agree

<br>In the search for truth and humane values, why should religious beliefs be exempted from analysis, investigation, the the uses of rhetorical devices used to examine and discuss all other kinds of belief?<br><br>It is important to note that unlike many other everyday beliefs like gravity there is no agreement on any religious truth out of the multitude of those offered to or forced upon humankind. Worse yet, there is as of now unlike gravity, measles, etc, no agreed upon method to cull the true from the false and meaningless.<br>
