Datechguyblog<\/a> posted the winning picture from the Draw Mohammed contest in Garland, Texas<\/a>. This picture perfectly sums up the battle for free speech. The problem in Texas was not Pam Geller’s contest–it was the Muslims<\/a> who felt that it was their duty to kill people exercising their right to free speech. P–s Christ<\/b> is a 1987 photograph by the American artist and photographer Andres Serrano. It depicts a small plastic crucifix submerged in a glass of the artist’s urine<\/b>. It was part of an art exhibit in New York<\/a>. As offensive as it was, no one who was offended attempted to kill anyone. In the mid-1970s, Skokie, Illinois<\/a>, was at the center of a case<\/a> concerning the First Amendment<\/a> right to assemble<\/a> and the National Socialist Party of America<\/a>, a neo-Nazi<\/a> group. Skokie ultimately lost that case. Skokie had a sizeable Jewish population<\/a> which objected to the Nazi<\/a>-planned march. The march went ahead. Again, no one was killed. The First Amendment allows for freedom of speech. It does not protect anyone from being offended by that speech. The First Amendment should not be curtailed–if Muslims cannot live under the laws of America, they need to leave. If anyone comes to America, they need to be willing to live under the laws of America. The problem is not Pamela Geller–the problem is people living in America who are prone to violence and do not respect the rights of Americans.<\/p>\n
