- sshine 3y agoI guess the similarity falls short of justifying bombing civilians in another country... oh, wait.
- kljfdslkjwer 3y agoNot really. You're comparing free speech to what Al Qaeda is actually doing. Keeping women uneducated, lynching homosexuals, etc. I wouldn't say that the speech is "Ok" as much as it is simply tolerated in American democracy. Free speech is core American value, so you hear from the fringes. If they actually follow through and act (occasionally happens and makes national news), it is no longer be tolerated.
- jdgoesmarching 3y agoAmerica’s intentional disregard of the AIDS epidemic killed more LGBTQ+ folks than Al Qaeda ever could. It’s not 1:1 with education, but the current sweep of abortion legislation is an incredible act of violence towards women if you’ve followed the consequences of those laws. This isn’t a defense of UBL, I’m just pointing out that so much of this conversation is a matter of your ideology. If you think the only harm of the religious right in this country is simply a matter of tolerating their speech, then count yourself lucky to not be among or close to their victims.
