I want also one pronouncement from the editors of this site about this issue.
This is not about some posters being more or less outrageous, this is about using this site to promote a hate speech against the muslims. The hate speech is prosecuted by many legal systems around the world and it's expressly excluded in all the countries from the freedom of expression. Specifically, the South African constitution in its section 16.2 states:
The right (to freedom of expression) in subsection (1)
does not extend to -
(a) propaganda for war;
(b) incitement of imminent violence; or
(c)
advocacy of hatred that is based on race, ethnicity, gender or religion, and that constitutes incitement to cause harm.(taken from
HATE SPEECH IN SOUTH AFRICA)
This last point is very clearly the case of what some posters here have been constantly doing during the last 2 months. You can find countless examples of this hate speech, just some of the lasts:
"These filthy muslims are using their religion as an excuse to do as they please,..... we need a hardcore approach on this filth ... expel them all ... burn their mosques down to the ground ... and those who break the law should be punished accordingly.
For the rapist ... he should be raped ..." CleanCut
"Muslims will always be working to take over and impose sharia law and do jihad - all this is koran based....
(this quote is about a hoax running in internet brought to this site by Beeno1, as hoaxes and lies are all what he posts) the Mayor should have written thsi letter and inde3ed so should all mayors tell these musloim invaders exactly where to get off.
The composer of this piece deserves amdeal for such an excellent article. These sentiments are so spot on everyone shoud read this article. Just take out hte mayor bit and say how Mayors should respond to muslim demands to take over the country." Beeno1
And, finally, this is about having to bear every single day endless cut&paste of hoaxes, lies and manipulated news that one member of this site, Beeno1, constantly posts to promote his hate speech against the muslims. This antimuslim propaganda is offensive for many people, for me in particular, and has to stop.
