Inciting murder should be a crime if it isn't already. Is there some freedom to threaten murder with which all men are endowed as an inalienable right?
Back in October 1970, confronted with the homegrown terrorism of the Quebec Liberation Front, then Prime Minister Trudeau famously said, "Some weak-kneed bleeding hearts get upset at the sight of a man with a gun [the army]. All I can say is, Go bleed." My sentiments exactly.
"Behead those who insult Islam" is not threatening murder. It is an obnoxious opinion, no doubt. Do we have any examples of the signs those marchers held inciting any murders? If so, prosecute the sign-holders.
If not, don't.
