What should be the consequences for criticising female subjugation within the Muslim religion in Britain in your opinion, particularly bearing in mind we are supposed to believe in sexual equality in this country. Seriously this is an important issue and should be addressed, not ignored.

The problem is that you only believe in free speech when it suits you (and your idea of freedom of speech doesn't extend to people you disagree with) and this thread is proof of that.
This post of yours is just a desperate attempt to move the goalposts to try to gain some ground and it's (once again) hypocritical since you're all for criticising things you dislike but you cry foul the second someone criticises your views. This whole bigot stuff is proof of that. You've gone from acting like a victim, trying to silence anyone who disagrees with you to acting like you are the defender of free speech when it comes to criticising Islam.
So which is it? Freedom of Speech for all or none at all? You're trying to have your cake and eat it and you'll keep tripping up until you make your choice.
