there never has been full freedom of speech anywhere, it is not possible.
that is why we ban "hate preachers" from entering our country.
if we had total freedom of speech we would have all sorts of nutters exhorting violence against others.

Freedom of speech and book verses book explained...
Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing.
Freedom of speech can only exist when people also accept their responsibilities, that is clear. But the principle needs to be upheld or we slide towards dictatorships.

The man who made a show of his hatred of the Koran did so in order to obtain maximum coverage and with an intent: to obtain a reaction.
It is evident to see that crowds of barbaric people in Afghanistan are now murdering people who were sent there to help them, and who have nothing to do with the episode.
British soldiers in Afghanistan are in increased danger, and there is only one thing for us to do: get our soldiers out of Afghanistan back to Britain, and leave 'em to it to sort their own problems out.
Who's bothered if their women wear burkas and go about in DMs? It's not our problem. It's freedom of choice in that country, our soldiers don't belong there.
