Terrorism is terrorism, whatever the causes behind it. Should those who try to understand the terrorists, or apologise for terrorist acts such as suicide bombings be given the right of free speech when the very act of terrorism is aimed at subjugating all freedom of speech and expression?

i find it difficult to understand how these apologists try to justify the unjustifiable
some are extremely biased and misguided and answer posts they disagree with with abuse and insults
supporters of terrorists would be best advised to keep their views to themselves or to share with other deluded individuals - not on a public forum

Well, as you point out, if 'the very act of terrorism is aimed at subjugating all freedom of speech and expression' and the terrorist apologists are censored - we're presumably as bad as they are. Good question though, I felt the same way about David Irvin (Holocaust denier) and Nick Griffin being allowed to debate their opinions at the Oxford Union. If we can't get them on content surely being repetitive and boring should be enough reason to ban them !

This is not just a question of free speech. When Benazir Bhutto was giving her rights of free speech some "terrorists" did not agree with her so they killed her. If you support free speech it must work both ways.Unfortunately most terrorists say if you don't say what I want to hear you say I will kill you. Can that be right.?

Yes they have to be allowed that right if only for the rest of us to tell them how stupid they are trying to justify the unjustifiable. The Iraq business is not the reason it is an excuse. Sad and horrible that innocent Iraqis have been killed in the bombing I do not think the present killings can be or should be laid at anyones door other then the Iraqis who have killed their fellow Iraqis .

Yes so long as they're not inciting terrorism or insulting the victims of terrorism (which would be against the guidelines as it is insulting a group).

ah, yes. the ugly little truth about the political conundrum plaguing the democrats and socialists around the world. support free speech, mouth the talking points of the islamo-terrorists and in so doing lose precious voters..... sad, but truly the exacting consequence, though they see it as coincidence.
you would think they would get the gist of why they lost the last two US elections.

Yes, everybody should have the right of free speech. If you don't like what they say you have the right to tell them why. Not all acts of terrorism are committed by Islamic radicals who want to get rid of freedom of speech. What is wrong with trying to understand terrorists? What about the adage "know thy enemies"? As long as the speaker does not overtly encourage acts of terrorism he within his right of free speech.

All of America was at many times a terrorist. Freedom of speech is self-evident, our prejudices, points of views, fears, they are all lesser than this right.

it matters not how we feel, everyone must be given the chance of free speech. i know it can stick in the throat at times. but what is the alternative? to gag them? i think that one would do more harm than good. as we saw when the conservatives tried it with the IRA.

No they should have all rights taken away from them, killing of innocents in such a cowardly way is unforgivable, i dont want to know the reasons, they all deserve what theyll get in "Paradise"
