Freedom of speech & Western hypocrisy.

Re: Freedom of speech & Western hypocrisy.

A white guy was in jail for similar stupid comments on Twitter about that black football player who had a heart attack. So it is not just Muslims being targeted by the authorities.

I don’t agree with his comments but I wonder if anyone has ever been arrested for spewing hateful and racists remarks about the Muslim world. We see hundreds, if not thousands, of comments made by the US & UK citizens alike calling for the eradication of Islam/Muslims on a daily basis and I have yet to see anyone being held responsible (let alone arrested & convicted) for such horrid tirades. I understand that “freedom of speech laws” may be different in the UK but to think that a quasi-coherent & insensitive comment made by an over zealous teenager warrants a criminal conviction is beyond dictatorial & bigoted.
