Photoshop image based on Chris Ramirez photo from The New York Times:Racial and religious hate speech is criminal in much of the world, but it flourishes in the United States, writes Adam Liptak in "Hate Speech and the American Way" in The New York Times:
"Advocacy of violence is a special problem in prisons, where some fear that radical Islam is being preached."
Even Saudi Arabia, for instance, has been signaling that it will cut back on the diplomatic visas it issues to militant Wahhabi clerics, who sometimes praise suicide attacks. But militant Wahhabism and other religious doctrines advocating violence are freely preached in the United States. It happens in mosques and churches, in schools and, especially, in prisons.
Where some fear that radical Islam is being preached? Round up the usual suspects.
