So is free speech dead?

Let me get this straight: if I want to create an anti-Christian web ring, that's perfectly acceptable. After all, free speech rules on the Internet.

If I want to accuse our government of being complicit in the 9/11 attacks, that's also allowed.

But if I speak out against Islam, I will have my web site shut down and be sued to suppress my views? To all those Iranians and Pakistanis who wrote to Network Solutions to complain about this site: If you're so insecure in your faith that you have to sue someone in order to prevent him from having his say, maybe you need to re-evaluate your own beliefs, because obviously you feel threatened.

Of course, with all the censorship in both Iran and Pakistan, the source of the complaints that shut down the Fitna web site, they probably wouldn't see this little note anyway.
