PAKISTAN
 
 Many of the images that appear today on Facebook were deeply offensive to Muslims and non-Muslims alike/ U.S. is deeply concerned about any deliberate attempt to offend Muslims or members of any other religious groups/ Do not condone offensive speech that can incite violence or hatred/ We respect any actions that need to be taken under Pakistani law to protect their citizens from offensive speech/ There needs to be a balance in restricting offensive speech and continuing to protect and promote the free flow of information

It doesn't matter of Christians are offended.
"The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of 'liberalism,' they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened." --Norman Thomas, 1944

So you can waltz in to this country illegally and ICE won't bother sending you back but, post a cartoon on facebook or something and go to jail.  :banghead:
I may not lock my doors while sitting at a red light and a black man is near, but I sure as hell grab on tight to my wallet when any democrats are close by.

Wear a T Shirt with the American Flag on it and you cannot go to school.

Speak English with a regional accent and you cannot teach.
