Basic, researchable truths are now "hate speech"

Dear Mom,


     I remember the first day that you packed me off for Kindergarten, you said, "remember son, if sixteen years from now, fundamentalist Muslims attack the World Trade Center, and a Jewish lady criticizes them for following their religion, what she says will be considered and is, in fact, hate speech."  Wait, wait.... I don't remember that.  That's because you never said that.

From the Wikipedia article on freedom activist Pamela Geller:

She is a supporter of the English Defence League (EDL) saying: "I share the EDL's goals ... We need to encourage rational, reasonable groups that oppose the Islamisation of the west."^[30] In June 2013, Geller was scheduled to speak at an EDL rally,^[7] but was barred from entering Britain by a Home Office ruling that describes her as having established "anti-Muslim hate groups".^[14] Cited as evidence for the ban were statements categorizing al-Qaeda as "a manifestation of devout Islam" and stating that jihad requires Jews as an enemy.^[31] Geller called the decision "a striking blow against freedom ... The nation that gave the world the Magna Carta is dead." Hope not Hate, which led a campaign to ban her, applauded the decision stating "there is a line in the sand between freedom of speech and the right to use hate speech.".^[14]   


With love from your son,


Ben
