    This is the most corrupt, disgusting and barbaric ruling of our time! It sets back all the great work Muslims and non-Muslim minorities have done to advance Free Speech. No wonder citizens in Europe have lost faith in institutions like this one!https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/world/europe/european-court-rejects-austrians-case-over-prophet-slur/2018/10/25/4cd0600e-d852-11e8-8384-bcc5492fef49_story.html …

        Even in USA, "free speech" is a myth. Say something not PC and you will be vilified. Sad.

        I think you need to look up the definition of free speech. Free speech doesn't & shouldn't preclude someone from vilification of said speech. Vilification of your speech is someone exercising their free speech. This ruling by the EU is a disgraceful example of speech censorship.

        Vilification is not protected speech in public forums. And we see many social media platforms censure hostile actors.

        That's because social media platforms don't adhere to the principles of free speech.

        This logic would lead to tolerating violent propaganda from all kinds of factions who may vilify you - not just tolerating vilifying certain religious beliefs.

        If that's the price, then so be it. Better the devil you know than the devil you don't. Also, if people espouse beliefs which run contrary to rational ideals, then those people will be appropriately mocked & criticised for their maligned propaganda.

        Nearly eight, but our friends objection switches here from vilification to violent propaganda. That is not protected. Inciting to riot is not free speech under US law.

        I think you just got that wrong. The test for free speech is still based on Voltaire. Anything less is reprepressive. That is clearly broacasted in the constitution. However, you’re never absolved from the consequences of your speech, but that the judge’s decision

        Well when a man in his 50's has sex with a 9 year old, that's pedophilia. If the facts hurt your feelings, that doesn't mean that your rights have been infringed. Court got this wrong.

        The Court is not just simply wrong. They do this on purpose, as they have done many other things. Stalin, similarily, was not just "wrong". He was evil.

        Court just said that it conforms with austrian law. It's strict protection of religious beliefs in that country to blame.On the other hand, in neighbouring Czech Republic, I still can say the truth about Mohammed without fear: He was pedophile and mass murderer.Disgusting person.

        If you consider him a fiction, then you have to agree that six year old bride and sex from nine (max. ten) years of her age is part of that fiction and is acknowledged by most Islamic scholars. Let's fix it to disgusting fictional character then... OK?

        Europeans must stand up in mass against this. Violate these laws at every turn, and no jury should convict. Clog the courts and tie up the police. This is outrageous!

        More religious slurs are directed towards Jewish and Catholic religions daily. But the followers of these religions do not threaten riots or death as a consequence. The legal ruling is a craven surrender to intimidation and violence. "preserving religious peace” = "capitulation"

        Correct. London's @metpoliceuk appease conservative Muslims who occupy #speakerscorner #Hydepark. See YouTube. Police stand back while Royal park rules broken by group praying. PC leads ExMuslim victim of a Muslim attack away while the mob jeer. This IS 2 tier policing in U.K.
