This man had said a simple fact.
And he did not insult anyone's religion either, he simply reminded people of the helplessness of the reactionary, that's all.
"Blasphemy laws are the first sign of tyranny" Lord Acton.
Why shouldn't a claim get ridiculed? Please tell me how that equals an arrest or an assault? It does not. It merely means you got offended. When government gets into the position of playing thought police, both the majority and minority are in trouble.
"Ridicule is the only weapon which can be used against uninteligible propositions" Thomas Jefferson.
If the worst your neighbor does to you is offend you, then you shouldn't bitch. In many places when someone gets offended, they murder you or their government does.
