Question: Is denouncing NAZI literature as
"fascist" and "inciting people to murder" ...
"clearly crass and self-serving exercises that
pay lip service to the idea of freedom of
speech while being little more than vehicles
for xenophobia?"

Surely the Answer must be that such a
denunciation is either true or false, and
therefore worthy or worthless.

Well, while Hitler could be held responsible for
the murders of up to 65 million human beings,
there are some places in India ALONE where
up to 35 million souls were butchered under
the sanctions of The Koran. The toll of the
Islamic genocide is in the hundreds of millions
of human beings and it is still ongoing with no
end in sight (and that doesn't even begin to take
into consideration the countless civilizations,
including all the Christian ones which once
thrived in and around the fertile crescent, that
were utterly obliterated by Islam... leaving
behind the monstrous ruin and despair you see
today everywhere in the Muslim world there).
Butchery and murder are the school agenda of
most Islamic children and the teachings of hate
never end across the lifetimes of Muslims the
world over... with the possible exception only
of those who have not been converted to Islam
long enough to have yet lost the values of their
previous "human" cultures (as in Thailand, in
Malaysia, in Indonesia, etc.)

Is it possible to libel Mohammed? Could anything
bad enough or objectionable enough ever be said
of this incomprehensibly reprehensible creep which
he himself did not surpass many, many, many
times over with his own vile criminal behavior and
unimaginable personal degradation... as recorded
by his own proud Islamic biographers? VISIT THOU:

Perhaps those who are trying to "defame"
Islam should simply cite the Koran:

   1. [3.151] We will cast terror into the
   hearts of those who disbelieve ...

   1. [8.12] When your Lord revealed to
   the angels: I am with you, therefore
   make firm those who believe. I will cast
   terror into the hearts of those who
   disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads
   and strike off every fingertip of them.

Oh, I'm sorry, if what the Islamic resolution
is after is to ban the Koran, then, by all
means, I for one am all for it:

The Koran is a viciously cynical, unrelentingly
martial instructionaire for the conquest and
subjugation of the human race by any and all
means... including encouraging rape & pillage
by the conquerors if they live, and, if they die
in the cause of this immoral conquest, heavenly
rewards which only a monstrous Satan would
provide its most loyal/depraved demons in Hell.

No, it is religion(s) that should be banned.

It is time for humanity to purge itself from
pernicious and (mostly) vile superstitions
which are not only dragging down our very
humanity but destroying our morality with
hate-mongering and a corrupting fight
against democracy and human rights.

We should pass a universal world-wide law
which states categorically that "things are
either real OR unreal," and that anyone
caught trying to make anyone believe that
a thing unreal IS real is committing a self-
evident fraud (punishable by substantial
prison time).

Yes, it's going to be tough because, frankly,
we are monkeys. And, who among us has
not argued over the living room coffee table
with someone about whether there is or
there isn't a coffee table in the damn living
room?  But, it's a struggle to save lives and
to perhaps even push mankind into
progressing far enough ahead that we may
survive the next extinction-causing asteroid
that is inevitably coming our way.
