Mila spoke. Mila is gay, a lesbian who criticized Islam and was promptly attacked for her speech. The police told her they cannot protect her so she needs to go into hiding. In fear for her life with an entire country admitting they cannot protect her, France has joined the third world where Hate Speech is evil. But Hate Speech is the only kind of speech that needs the protection of the government.
The politically correct notions of ‘hate speech’ and ‘incitement to religious hatred’ have essentially revived old and draconian blasphemy laws in a new guise. The effect is exactly the same – the censorship of criticism of religion. And while the French state did not go so far as to prosecute Mila for blasphemy, an intolerant Twittermob was on hand to ensure she was punished for her wrongthink.
Decent people need to stand up for free speech against both the state and the social-media mob. Je suis Mila.
