Should we do that with all ideologies? Should we also keep trans and radical lgbtq ideology out of the streets and schools? Shall we keep communism and Palestinian demonstrations indoors and out of the public eye? Remove red, trans and rainbow flags?
And yes, it is comparable to a religion. Some of these are things if you disagree on you get cancelled and labelled as essentially a heretic for. Basically excommunicated. With very little space for forgiveness either.
Or is it different because deep down what you actually mean is "stop expressing ideology I disagree with in the public space".
Sure, limits on freedom of speech are necessary when it's basically the incitement of violence or direct death threats. But anything beyond that is authoritarian and undemocratic.
If people should have the right to preach on the streets, then people should be allowed to fly pride flags and have parades. If Christians are allowed to do street sermons, so should Muslims. We live in a free society.
This one part put so much bad faith in the rest of your argument that I'm not even giving you the satisfaction of a rebuttal
Excuses. You don't have one. Funny suddenly me saying the same thing is "bad faith"
No it's because I realized you were arguing from a point of complete and total ignorance.
You have a fundamental misunderstanding of the world that I don't have the time or energy to correct you on.
Says the guy who wants freedom of speech surrounding religion banned.
