Just look at the 'news stories' that pop up every Christmas about how 'liberals and muslims are trying to get rid of Christmas' or the furore over the Starbucks cup not being Christmassy enough. It's all basically bait for the types of people that would normally screech about Free Speech to get their knickers in a twist over.

Those kinds of people will only endorse and defend Free Speech for as long as it works for them. They have little interest in Free Speech when it comes to thoughts and opinions that don't match their own.
Christians often forgive, muslims usually dont. How do you solve that equation?
