The French authorities opened a case against Mrs Le Pen in 2011, a European Parliament member, after she likened the sight of Muslims praying in the streets to the Nazi occupation of France.

  • simple answer is no.

    We are not allowed to state facts based on statistics because the scumbag of society would get offended and play the race card.

    I experience this everyday in London where every time someone of a particular ethnic background wearing a hoody and hiding behind cars is stopped and searched claims that we live in a racist society.

    Usually you find some do gooders who support them even when they are found to be carrying weapons

  • I do not know about others however I in my view help freedom of speech and i am a multiculturalist, despite the fact that i do not live in an awfully various nation, to a unique degree nevertheless. So far as i'm involved that you may say your opinion and support it as long as it's pertinent. However when your speech turns into offensive you then must selected your phrases higher. Democracy has a restrict, although many individuals (younger individuals typically) don't appreciate that. And the restrict is the place morality and common experience .

  • Generally speaking, outside the U.S., "freedom of speech" is not considered an absolute. They believe in weighin in the wider interests of civil society. Neo-Nazi propaganda has been illegal in most of Europe for quite some time. They certainly would not have gone with what the court said in the U.S., that basically, misleading the public on the airwaves was free speech. There's a ton of things that could only exist in the U.S.: Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage...

    Pretty much everywhere else in the world, these guys would've gotten into trouble for presenting opinions or worse, fabrications, as facts, and Savage would certainly run afoul of hate speech laws in most of Europe and Canada.

  • The French are not multiculturalists. they even objected to having a Disneyland in France because they feared it would have a corrupting influence on their culture.

  • I am not sure what you mean by "multiculturalists" (doesn't sound like a valid scabble word) ...Is that someone who lives within two distinct cultures at the same time?

  • Could you define multiculturalist because I did a search of the word and could not find any link to that word.

  • Yes, but only for themselves. Anyone who disagrees with them is quickly shut down.

  • Freedom of speech does not exist at liberal US universities. It is a casualty of political correctness.

  • No. Liberals do not believe in freedom of any kind

  • No because everyone would be speaking in tongues
