WE PETITION THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO:
Outlaw offending Prophets of major religions
To enact a law that prohibits any action or literature that offend prophets of major religions:
– Moses (PBUH)
– Jesus (PBUH)
– Mohammad (PBUH)
Such acts are equivalent to falsely* yelling “FIRE !” in a crowded theatre and meant to harm human values, beliefs, and spirituality. For that matter, this law should apply to all beliefs of the Human Family.
Such acts offend billions of people, and cause unrest in the world. Furthermore, acts like this contradict the essence of coexistence and peace among humans. Labeling these acts as freedom of speech is similar to labeling murder as freedom of expression!
We all know the chaos such acts can cause, but it’s difficult to answer the question: What do they contribute to our nation, or humanity in general?
Please sign the Petition:
“Shouting fire in a crowded theatre” is a popular metaphor and frequent paraphrasing of Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.‘s opinion in the United States Supreme Court case Schenck v. United States in 1919. The paraphrasing does not generally include the wordfalsely, which was originally used and highlights that speech which is dangerous and false, which can be distinguished from that which is truthful but also dangerous. The quote is used as an example of speech which is claimed to serve no conceivable useful purpose and is extremely and imminently dangerous, as they held distributing fliers in opposition to a military draft to be, so that resort to the courts or administrative procedures is not practical and expresses the permissible limitations on free speechconsistent with the terms of the First Amendment of the United States Constitution.
