    So Mods,,
    If I said something negative about Islam/Muslims, how do ye decide if its derogatory and delete it and hand out bans,infractions.
    OR
    Consider it to be part of a right to free speech and just pass it off the same as boardsies saying negative stuff about their own religions/terrorist organisations. Eg , Catholicism, ira, uvf etc???

    There is no such thing as free speech on Boards.


    It all falls under the old "don't be a dick" rule.

    If I was a US citizen and was to publish a magazine giving out about blacks and drawing Obama as a monkey would the US not try and stop me. It's a limited free speech.

    But an opinion that's expressed as free speech. does it just fall to the mind of whoever reads it?

    You don't have free speech or free opinions.
    They're the same with Catholicism and other religious bashing in fairness.If you like it or not is another story.

    But Muslims aren't a race, not sure what that comment was supposed to achieve...
