Peace, And I Mean That Most Sincerely

It seems that the City of Berkeley in California is all up in arms about the video to the left. What is so hateful about the video? Easy. It seems to tell the truth about some believers in Islam.

A British stand-up has been accused of spreading ‘racist hate speech’ in California.
Pat Condell has faced a barrage of criticism after links to his anti-Muslim monologue on YouTube were circulated to commissioners in the city of Berkeley.
In the five-minute video, Condell condemns Islam as a religion of war and its prophet Mohammad as ‘some rambling ancient desert nomad with a psychological disorder’.
He attacks fundamentalist men as ‘primitive pigs whose only achievement in life is to be born with a penis is one hand and a Koran in the second’ and accuses women who wear veils of their own will of being ‘mentally ill’.
‘If God had intended for you to cover your face then in His wisdom He would have provided you with a flap of skin for the purpose,’ he said.
Jonathan Wornick, who is on the ‘peace and justice commission’ adivisng Berkeley city council emailed his colleagues with the link, saying it was ‘an honest attempt to bring dialogue’.
But his actions have caused a political storm. Commissioner Michael Sherman said Condell’s views were ‘stunning’ because of his ‘stereotyping and bigotry of the tone and the language’.
And commissioner Elliot Cohen called the tape ‘insulting, degenerating and racist’.
‘People should not be allowed to spew racist propaganda without others being able to respond,’ Cohen said. ‘It’s not about free speech – it’s hate speech.’

For which there will be totally different rules. The most important of which will be “if I hate it, it is hate speech”. Which you must admit is a pretty liberal definitioin.
