Boris:
Gosh, why can’t we just hate Muslims in peace?
I don’t think anyone here hates Muslims. People are angry at what they see as preferential treatment, and are expressing their opinions. Nowhere do I see (yet) any ad hominem attacks.
Why are we subject to rules?
We’re subject to rules insofar as they are properly enforced. This includes the spirit, as well as the letter, of the law. In Ms. Noah’s case, the law was wrongly enforced, in the opinion of many.
Why can’t we just be bigots like we want to be?
Many are. So? Unless they directly incite people to violence, their speech, while offensive, is protected.
Where’s OUR freedom?
We’re exercising it right here.
