Exactly, I live in Iran, and you won't believe how much I do hear from people "Even in the west they have rules against bad mouthing god/prophets" (for a smart person this is a very bad sign. Theocrat people using a rule as their defence. Something should have went wrong seriously with these laws in West).
This is fucking barbaric. I say whatever I want and I don't care what your beliefs are. If you don't like it, you can say whatever you want about my beliefs too. This is freedom of speech.
- kstrauser 9y agoI can only speak for America, but let me put this in concrete terms you can share with your friends: I am free to say anything I want about any religion, its gods, or its prophets. I can laugh about Jesus, Muhammad, or Buddha. I can draw funny pictures of the pope. I can say mean things about Rama. All of this is perfectly legal and I can do or say those things in any public place, any time I like. Now, if I make fun of Allah in a mosque, I would expect the other people there to become angry with me. Same with telling Jesus jokes at a 4th of July parade in the American South: this would anger the local residents. But I would not be arrested for it (although I might be yelled at for deliberately angering to many people) and I would expect the police to protect me if the crowds tried to hurt me. Some parts of the west may have different laws. But in America, it is absolutely true that I can say anything I want about any religion I want in complete freedom. And the opposite is also true: police will do nothing to stop anyone who is insulting my beliefs. They are also free to do that.
