....that said, "Kiss my Mohammed", while standing on a street corner in a Muslim neighborhood, how long before my right to free speech gets me killed?
-
Same question for a "Kiss my Jesus" sign in a Christian neighborhood?

The Kiss My Jesus sign might get you a stern talking-to, or maybe even get you a knuckle sandwich.
The Kiss My Mohammed sign would get you an entire clip from an AK-47 emptied in your head and gut.
That's the difference between today's Christians and today's Muslims.
EDIT: Go ahead and thumb me down. Then go seek out stories about what this British teacher is going through right now in Sudan.

In a muslim neighborhood you'd be dead meat real quick.
In a christian neighborhood somebody would just try to save your soul

This violates freedom of speech because you insult them and this violates freedom of religion and pursuit of happiness. Also this is constituted as a hate crime so this is not free speech.

I doubt you would be killed in the US for this, but you may be protested.
In a christian neighborhood you would experience similar revulsion.

In the first case, you will probably get your head cut by a highly polished sword.
In the second case, you will probably be shouted at, or get a sermon from one of the bystanders :)

Statements that are not against the public cannot be subject to suppression because it is part of freedom of expression and religion.

Your "right" to free speech is not extended to behavior which would incite a riot.

Freedom of speech has consequences sir. If you make your bed, you must also lie in it.

I'm not sure if you would be killed but the ACLU would sue you for violating the rights of others
