Pakistan: America Needs to Rethink Free Speech

In the aftermath of violent protests across the Middle East and the slaughter of four American diplomats, Pakistan’s foreign minister believes the United States should “rethink” its commitment to freedom of speech.

“It is not good enough to say, ‘It’s free speech, it should be allowed,’” Hina Rabbani Khar said during an interview with CNN on September 20. ”I think if this does provoke action against American citizens or Americans anywhere else in the world, then maybe we do need to rethink how much freedom is okay.”

Khar said nations should come together in a “civilized manner,” to address the concept of freedom speech and how far it extends.

“I think what we need is more tolerance for each other’s views. What we need is to be able to give mutual space for us to be able to demonstrate what is culturally, religiously important to us and not to hold each other — not to judge each other for that,” Khar said.

“We really we have to be sensitive to religious sensitivities.”

Says a representative of an ideology that promotes violence against Christians and Jews. . .

And as if the terrorists were forced to act violently. . . 

How about Islam learns a little restraint?

Oh, wait, a people who practice superiority can't see it that way.
