Why then, is Rushdie’s freedom being pushed as an imperative of democracy when the bar for censorship is generally far lower?

Jos kaikki seisoskelevat kadunkulmissa, kukaan ei pääse kulkemaan. Jos yhdellä on karvalakin läpät alhaalla, on kaikilla oltava karvalakin läpät alhaalla. Jos menen naimisiin, kukaan ei saa ristiinsuihkia. Tää on existentialistin vastuukäsite. Kaikki on sen doppelgängereitä, koska ne on sen aivopieruja. Tää on hyvä ohjelma kert mie oon sen valinnut. Nää jujut on lainattu Kantilta (categorical imperative) ja Kierkegaardilta (ahishtush). Aika paranoideja. J-P hilaa izeään puuhun perä edellä. Il n'y a pas de déterminisme.

Sadly, their faith is placed in the wrong location and in an untrue process. If only they were able to place that faith in the real designer behind the design. I believe it is imperative we educate ourselves and teach this generation as Paul warned Timothy to “keep that which is committed to your trust, avoiding oppositions of science falsely so called” (1 Timothy 6:20).
