Just last May 2005, in London, there was a 'rally' held where I heard the apparently Muslim participants being led in the following chants: "Death to Tony Blair", "Death to George Bush" "Nuke Nuke Washington" "Nuke Nuke Pentagon" "George Bush will pay with his blood" and "Tony Blair will pay with his blood" ! There was NOTHING DONE to arrest these people and especially the organizers. Persons who advocate murder, destruction, and violent acts of WAR against their host nations FORFEIT any protections of that nation's laws. Rights are for the HONEST LAW ABIDING CITIZENS. Does it make ANY sense to let our nations be destroyed in order to protect SEDITIOUS speech?
