Commenter Wilkey points out:… We keep hearing that Muslims must tolerate blasphemy because free speech. But Europe doesn’t have free speech. In most European countries, including France, there is a long list of blasphemous statements for which one can go to jail — from publicly denying facts, like the Holocaust, to denying opinions, like racial equality.America has a lot of ways of enforcing blasphemy taboos as well, such as being forced out of your job (e.g., James D. Watson, Jason Richwine, Brendan Eich, etc.), public humiliations, leaking confidential conversations, and so forth.
The Left is an amorphous religion from which one cannot claim religious freedom, because the Religion of Political Correctness has never been formally declared. But it has its own dogma — racial and gender quality, etc. It has its own scriptures — poems like “The New Colossus,” and plays like The Crucible. It has its own hymns — “Imagine.” It has its own deities, including one — The Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King, Junior — with his own holiday. “Public schools” are now effectively parochial schools owned and run by the Religion of Political Correctness.A belief in magic is almost mandatory these days.
It must seem to Muslims very hypocritical to claim they must accept blasphemy while banning blasphemy against the Left.
