		<description>If ever this piece of ideological totalitarianism becomes &quot;world law&quot;, it will be a law eminently deserving of contempt, resistance and violation on a mass scale. No piece of religious imperialism like this is going to either override my rights of free speech as an American (more to the point, as a human being) or intimidate me into submitting to mind control. Let&#039;s be real: this is it - the big play, the push for an Orwellian world run by the thought police. 
If there are any poor chumps out there still so naive as to think this is nothing more than an attempt to stop &quot;nasty&quot; people from saying &quot;hateful&quot; things about another person&#039;s religion - wake up already. First of all, even if that were all it was, it&#039;s STILL an assault on human freedoms. But that&#039;s not nearly all it is. Keep in mind that, from the Islamic point of view, even to say that the Koran is not the word of God, that Mohammed made it all up, that where the Koran presents an altered version of accounts from the Old and New Testaments (like, for instance, Judas dying on the cross in Jesus&#039; place), the Koran tells blantant, culturally and ideologically motivated fabrications - all this is &quot;hate speech&quot;, deserving of death. And if you don&#039;t think the Moslem societies will capitalize in every way possible on a law like that being suggested here in order to control and shape world thinking and impose their beliefs, well, I&#039;ve got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.
In one way, this proposed law is incredibly dangerous, but in another way it&#039;s meaningless. Dangerous because of the threat to our freedoms, and yet... meaningless because, ultimately, such a moronic law cannot trump human freedoms. The truth ultimately prevails.</description>
