The right to insult religion

samedi 17 mai 2014 à 14:00

In Pakistan, people accused of "blasphemy", and lawyers that defend them, are murdered by Muslim fanatics.

I propose to the US (and any country) to require all immigrants, perhaps even visitors, to make public statements on video saying "I affirm people's right to criticize, mock, even insult any religion or view about religion, no matter who believes in it, even if you or I believe in it." Without making this statement, they would not be allowed entry.

This way, those unwilling to reject religious intolerance will not be allowed to bring it with them.
