      “The government should allow me to shoot people in the face, because otherwise it’s stepping on my personal freedoms”

      Stop trying to justify xenophobia and/or dislike for religion.

        Don’t be absurd. In what way are you impairing anyone else’s rights by destroying your own property?

          This isn’t about personal property. It’s about curbing and stopping acts that cause civil unrest.

          Stop trying to guise this as some personal property/rights infringement non-sense.

          The fact that people are arguing for it here just shows that some of these folks here don’t really believe in equal rights and a just society. If you’re religious and/or Muslim, and a law introduced to protect your sentiments, then it is “unfair”.

            If what one person does with their own property, causing physical harm to no-one, incites others to civil unrest, the problem lies with the others.

      Can people stop trying to reduce the real world to absurd black and white positions??

      Like you could use this smooth brained argument to the extreme to protest literally any law ever.

        Good, any law should be able to be scrutinized and protested by the citizens the law affects.
