WHOSE FREEDOM? WHAT IS SPEECH?
"Mishandling the Koran (or allowing it to be mishandled) is considered a SIN, not just bad conduct. I’m not Muslim, and I don’t believe it is a sin, but the rules of the faith damn the follower for the transgression."
This is the core of the Muslim oppression: what is a sin for THEM to do becomes prohibited for non-Muslims to do. If it is a sin to mishandle the Koran, it is a sin ONLY FOR MUSLIMS. No one forced a Muslim to mishandle the Koran. The quote is instructive: "damn the follower" -- it correctly doesn't say "damn the observer." This is a crucial difference.
This is why it is oppressive for Muslim cab drivers to refuse to carry passengers with alcohol -- it is imposing their morality on non-Muslims.
That is the essence of Muslim history - imposing Sharia law on non-believers, by force if necessary. Using our (pathetic and misguided) hate speech/action laws to enforce Sharia law must be resisted at all costs.
