ReplyDeleteI think that freedom of speech doesn’t mean to offend other people of different ideologies or religion. As far I know, there are many reasons to disagree to muslim religion, but it is possible to have an understanding with member of others religious congregations, even tough our ideas about God can be absolutely opposed.
ReplyDeleteAs far I concern, the Internet it's a great tool to have knowledge about a lot of topics, but like others things in our world, the Internet can be used of a destructive way, especially when it offend ideologies.
