MIND POLICE

This article refers to a 23-year-old man who was arrested Friday on hate-crime charges after he threw a Quran in a toilet at Pace University on two separate occasions, police said.

Now, as objectionable as throwing someone’s Koran in a toilet may be…IT IS NOT A CRIME. This person did not punch someone or shoot someone or harass someone and THEN throw the Koran in the toilet. It’s called free speech, and it looks like this person did nothing wrong. We can however burn the American flag in the name of free speech and that’s protected of course. Liberals always scream separation of church and state yet anything that might get some Muslims mad is somehow exempt from that rule. Like how it is not allowed to pray in public schools but if you want to put a footbath for Muslims at a taxpayer funded college, well that’s cool.

What is a “hate crime” anyway? It’s the thought police, it’s a silence of free speech, and it’s using the word ‘hate’ have people think twice before they say what they want to. Dare I say sometimes hate is justified? I hate people who rape children. I hate murders. I hate how the Democrats are trying to secure defeat in Iraq. That’s warranted and protected, isn’t it? Yes, or course it is. Unless you talk against a Muslim. Again, they are exempt from the rules.

Oh, and why is it not a “hate crime” when anything Catholic is defaced? Remember the cross in the jar of urine. Or how about the “painting” of Mary defaced with dung? Oh, that’s right, it’s in the name of art! Silly me, art is great free expression and cannot be condemned because of the gray area art encompasses. Dare you criticize that, well, you just don’t get the complexity of the message the artist is sending. We are awaiting what CAIR thinks about this; somehow I don’t think they’ll take the side of free speech...
