I am of the mind that any group that preaches hatred uses free speech to spread hatred, just look at the KKK marches with all those idiots in white robes and guys with bullhorns screaming about inferior races.
To your second question, no religion should be exempt for any reason. You cannot pick and choose which religion deserves tax exemption because that would require a definition of what an acceptable religion is and no one would ever agree on a single definition.

Answer to question #1 - Yes, Muslims use "free speech" to spread hatred.
Answer to question #2 - Any group that encourages or supports violence as part of its beliefs or creed, should NOT be tax exempt. This would prohibit Muslims from being tax exempt because their Koran does encourage violence.

without the context i'll't start up to guage. As a instructor, I quote all sots of factors that i do not even accept as true with. it easily relies upon on context. although if he did advise each understand those rates, it truly is hardly "a clean low in speading hatred." he continues to be no longer calling on Christians to kill non-Christians. This nonetheless isn't the Holocaust. This seems a schoolboy tactic for whipping up animosity adverse to the pope.

Using free speech to spread hatred is a common Christian practice as well. They throw the terms "Devil worshipper" and "In league with Satan" at just about anyone who doesn't believe in the God of Abraham, without thought or concern with how nearly impossible it is to battle those labels in this society.

1. Muslims dont believe in free speech, Muslims believe in what Prophet Muhammad said: say something good or silent.
2. About the tax, Jizya is implemented just like the 'protection money' or security rights.
So, If you want to protect sth, you have to do a violence, right?
Like Bush want to protect their people against terrorism, mass destruction weapon or sth, he has to kill people.

Q #1: They want to have free speech, not give it.
Q #2 No, it should not. But the libs would have a fit if their sponsors didn't get money from the Government. YBIC
