I think you should be free to attack or criticize Dasa's bigotry. I have criticized him for it countless times over the years. Indeed, I don't want to have control over what you read and don't read, or what you protest against and don't protest against. I do not want to restrict your freedom of speech. This is my point, exactly.

If you think there is something criminal going on and that the web site might be liable due to UK law, I think you should warn the web site owner or the moderators. But I am not incited to commit violence and I cannot see how anyone here would be by the kind of rhetoric Dasa comes out with. I think, if you have certain posters here who you think might be incited to commit violent criminal acts by the things Dasa writes, you should confront them and have it out with them. It might make for an interesting debate. 😉
Originally posted by Suzianne 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.
What bigotry is it that you think I am responsible for? I have been condemning Dasa's bigotry literally for years and years. And if you seriously believe I have ever defended the "thinking" of "Islamic fundamentalists" on this forum, please say where. Links please.

This is the first time in six years, if I recall correctly, that you have said anything to Dasa about his behaviour. You may be jumping on a bandwagon, but I suppose it's better than nothing. 😀
Originally posted by Suzianne 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.
What "stand" have you taken against Dasa? Have you reported the web site to law enforcement authorities in your country?
