Our government arrested a veteran for burning an American flag based on executive order (not law, but just presidential decree) that had this interesting line:
So clearly conservatives disagree with you and don’t consider this free speech. Which is pretty hypocritical when it comes to their burning of the Quran.
So while I agree with you that in both cases it’s free speech. I disagree that it’s only the Muslims in this case that have an issue with free speech. All religious conservatives seem to have that problem.
They arrested him for burning stuff in public iirc , don’t try to make it seem like they were charged w burning a flag and not starting a fire in a public place or something similar. But yes morons of all stripes use religion to keep themselves in power and dominate other morons. Also those folks in Dearborn weren’t even empowered by the State to do anything , as opposed to the stupid, but empowered , move to try and bully folks into not burning the flag in protest by the current administration.
So burning a Quran in public would violate the same law, right? The U.S. is just choosing, with conservatives in power, to enforce those laws selectively. . .
O yeah 100%. Ofc I never saw it actually catch fire though , did you? But yeah if they had burned it in public a cop would be well within the law to cite them for it.
