I am for freedom of speech and freedom of religion. But not without borders.
The borders are clear in Canadian law. Any promulgation of hatred is against the law. Whether it be from a pulpit, or a lecture stand, a classroom, the military, the police, the legal system, or even parliament.
Hatred is evil.
However fuzzy Canadian law might be, it becomes clearer the closer it comes to evil. Gay bashing, for example is easily and quickly identified as hatred, and vigorously prosecuted by society. Hatred under the guise of freedom of expression is harder to define. It becomes "fuzzy". Racisim, prejudice, belief, and opinion can become vehicles for hatred. It is hatred that makes them evil. You can talk about black people and white people. But when you talk hatred: Inject evil, then it becomes an ugly thing: Racism.
Western society at least at the unconscious level is attuned to Islamic hatred. It is the evil we are at war with. Islamic people in most contexts are good people-not evil at all. Christian people in most contexts are good people-not evil at all. But whether you are Christian or Islamic, if you add hatred, then make no mistake the taint is through and through; anything even with supposedly good intent, becomes evil like leaven in bread--Or food that has touched gasoline.
