The fact that I am an advocate of free speech means I see value in defending it even when ~ or especially when ~ I disagree ngly with the ideas it is used to propagate.

And maybe I don't want you deciding for me which crimes can go unreported and unpunished and which not.
Originally posted by Rank outsider I have often wondered about the legal position.
This is a UK website. Dasa's comments would, I think, amount to a crime if expressed directly by him in the UK.
Does RHP have a duty to try and prevent this and/or even report it? Even if not, there are clearly reputational risks of being seen to allow someone to advocate genocide repeatedly.

Are you a Muslim.

Standing up for violent Islam again are you.

And I don't want you defending bigotry and all the things that normal people care about. And I sure as hell don't want you deciding what I can and cannot protest. Did you even read the quotes I posted? And still you want to do nothing?
Perhaps you should reserve all this bigotry for some other websites that traffick in this sort of thing. I'm sure "Islamic fundamentalists" wouldn't mind you defending similar thinking as this over there. It doesn't belong here. "Let them speak. It's not like they're actually killing people." Sometimes, just in case you're not adult enough yet to understand this, you have to take a stand against evil. Hate speech is against the law in my country, and many others, for a reason. And this is certainly hate speech.
Originally posted by FMF But I wasn't doing anything of the sort. I was questioning the rationale josephw was using to declare Dasa's religion "false".
You were opportunistically lumping us in, as usual.
Originally posted by googlefudge You are not allowed to incite violence for example.
I don't think Dasa is inciting violence. I think he is making a fool of himself. I think what he writes and how he writes it is instructive. I think people can learn from it. I think he does far more damage to his 'cause' by being allowed to express what he does in a forum like this than the damage you might think you're doing to his 'cause' by preventing people from seeing up close what people like him are actually like, intellectually and spiritually.
