Freedom of speech is the foundation of a free society. Without it, a tyrant
can wreak havoc unopposed, while his opponents are silenced.

Putting up with being offended is essential in a pluralistic society in
which people differ on basic truths. If a group will not bear being
offended without resorting to violence, that group will rule unopposed
while everyone else lives in fear, while other groups curtail their
activities to appease the violent group. This results in the violent group
being able to tyrannize the others.

Islamic law forbids criticism of Islam, Quran, Muhammad. If they cannot be
criticized in the US, we are in effect accepting Islamic law as overriding
the freedom of speech. This would establish Muslims as a protected class
and prevent honest discussion of how Islamic jihadists use the texts and
teachings of Islam to justify violence and supremacism.

If speech that offends a group is outlawed, that group has absolute power,
and a free society is destroyed. A group that cannot be criticized cannot
be opposed. It can work its will no matter what it is, and no one will be
able to say anything to stop it.

Candor about Islamic texts is blasphemous according to Islamic law,
punishable by death. Many have been killed over them. At issue is whether
we will protect those who speak out or censor ourselves and others over
them, thereby in effect adopting Sharia.

Inoffensive speech needs no protection. The First Amendment was developed
precisely in order to protect speech that was offensive to some, in order
to prevent those who had power from claiming they were offended by speech
opposing them and silencing the powerless.

A free society is by its nature one in which people put up with others
being uncivil and offensive. The alternative is a quiet authoritarian
society in which only one opinion is allowed and the others are silenced,
and ultimately sent to the camps.
