That's not freedom of speech, it's simply hate

FP blog commenting on the story of a man who was arrested flushing Koran down a toilet:

Free speech is essential for democracy. It doesn't require us to agree with what everyone says, but it does require us to tolerate—and even defend—the right of others to express themselves in offensive ways.

That's pathetic. When someone's "free speech" the line to someone else's freedom space, it's no longer an exercise of freedom but simply hate therefore, supporting such an act is simply supporting hate. what you think?

Egyptian blogger Abdulmonem released

Egyptian Abdulmonem has been released from prison, welcome back bro. The blogsphere passed a crucial test for solidarity with one another regardless of political differences. Abdulmonem is a MB blogger, was jailed 15 April 07 and the response was overwhelming. Egyptian, Arab and non-Arab bloggers, liberal or not, supported Abdulmonem.

"Human rights" activists in the Middle East most often campaign for and care about those they preceive as "liberal", the blogsphere must be different however.
