In support of free speech...

At Jihad Watch today, Robert Spencer has a fantastic rebuttal of the latest loony mainstream media equation of Islamorealistic speech with hate speech, which naturally leads to attempts to BAN free speech. And he also has a request: to send his post far and wide, to reproduce it wherever possible, until people wake up. So that's why I'm linking to it here. And I've reproduced his final sombre paragraph below. Read; take note; act. Before it's too late.

"If we don't wake people up, it could be too late before anyone even realizes. Call me alarmist, call me hysterical, but it only took six months for Adolf Hitler to dismantle the Weimar Republic and impose a dictatorship. Huey Long is said to have remarked, "Fascism will come to America, but likely under another name, perhaps anti-fascism." Now we are seeing just that: the anti-jihadists are called fascists, and are being silenced in fascist fashion, in the name of anti-fascism. It's time to wake up. Please, try to wake someone up today."
