Is it normal for us to want freedom of speech and expression for all?

I keep hearing of muslims protesting westerners wanting to express themselves as to their views and their right to freedom of expression. We obviously don't agree with their laws or notions that women should keep silent just because they are women. We may not agree with them about Mohammed or his teachings, but we do not intend to silence their beliefs or expression of them. Neither should they try to impose their beliefs upon those who reject them, for whatever reason(s). IF GOD, whatever name you choose to address the almighty by; chooses to rebuke us for our beliefs, he has the unlimited power to do so without the need for human intervention by any religeous group. Remember how just one of his angels killed 185,000 soldiers in one night?! HE can do it again, without human help!!
With regard to the MSU professor that invited the disgruntled muslims to leave the United States if they are dissatisfied with our constitutional rights of freedom of expression; we wholeheartedly agree!! This is yet again an area where separation of church and state comes into play.

    First of all: Religion is as complicated as the humans who believe in them. Therefore, I refuse to belive any human who tells me what are the rules of life. The boundaries of religion are not defined and are constantly changing. Do not try to disapprove of a whole society just because some of them are fucked up. Muslims are very common in my country and most people are very reasonable. They may hold on to their religion, but, so do we, with our Christianity and such. I saw a documentary about a Muslim woman who fights for womans rights: She says the Quran doesnt even say anything about wearing the full-body robe, that you should kill anyone who doesnt approve of your ideals. Men there bend the rules as they seem fit. I think we can find that in our own history books. "Nothing in this book is mandatory", Muhammed said, according to this woman. But there remains this taboo on most things we approve: They still think(as we did in our past) homosexuality is a sickness. It is only a matter of time before people can all get along again: without theism.

    There is quite a difference between freedom of speech and religious vilification. "Their" beliefs and laws are no more uniform than Christian beliefs and laws are, and Christian fundamentalism is just as much alive and a problem as Muslim fundamentalism. So does the almighty ask you personally to judge others or to love them?
