Great way to generalize. Completely helps the discussion.
| Fei-Hung said: Also, people do not understand freedom of speech and how it is supposed to be used. Freedom of speech is supposed to be used ethically and morally to empower people to do good, make positive change and contributions. When people use it to Mock others, attack others, degrade others, dehumanise others etc you are not enacting freedom of speech. |
Your belief is NOT freedom of speech. Unpopular speech is the most important to protect. I mean, if people thought like what you stated, we would need thought police to make sure someone never said a bad thing about another person. And every comedian would be out of a job. That is not freedom, nor is it reality. People are free to say whatever they want, and others are allowed to respond how they wish. There are only two things you're not allowed to do, incite violence and incite panic (yelling fire in a crowded place, when there is no fire.) Other than that, all is far game.
@ OP
I have no problem calling him a terrorist, as long as you are also including Daesh and their ilk in that category. Of course, I wouldn't call him a devout Christian. With what I have read about him, he seems more like a nut. Registered to vote as a woman. Enjoyed being cruel to animals and S&M. Rambled on about the Apocalypse. And while the police haven't released much, they did say he was so incoherently rambling, they have no idea what his true motive was.
Now, I guess if you want, you can try to make this some big reflection on all Christians. But just make sure you do the same for Daesh and all Muslims.
