You dont get to come here, enjoy all of the protections of the US Constitution, and then make fun of her for fighting to have the same rights in her own country. Why did you leave if you loved being a second class citizen so much? DO BETTER. |
I'm sure the men in charge felt halla disrespected. Hence the ridiculous 30 month sentence. They hate when women fight for their rights. |
you know what- mea culpa. I did not realize that she was Moroccan- good for her. I support people fighting for these same protections in their own countries. I DO NOT support people going to other countries and not respecting the customs and laws. I also think what she said is stupid & won't actually change the needle amongst her pwn people- she could have said something substantive instead. I mean Allah can't be a lesbian, she could have said Allah loves lesbians and that would have made an actual point. This way she just seem like an a&&hole. the above example about hitler was just the most hateful and vile statement I could think of off the top of my head that would still be protected speech in the USA but not protected speech in France/germany. someone within a culture fighting for rights will always have my support but someone advocating fr US style freedom of speech is an outlier b/c no-one else has that much leeway in speech. MLK wasn't just spouting off some nonsense- he was actually advocating for something substantive and real and promised within the context of his culture and country. Does she just want freedom to say whatever stupid shit b/c pretty much the USA is the outlier in having that right- there is no other country that has the same freedom of speech laws that we enjoy. maybe start with baby steps since most people think that our bill of rights is horrific nonsense, even our allies. I live in europe right now and people roll their eyes so hard when they hear an american talk about blah blah amendment. the majority of people don't admire our freedom of speech laws, they think our bill of rights is dumb. |
Who gets to decide what's stupid shit and what's important, meaningful speach? Just because you found this particular message dumb it doesn't make it so. She is fighting for her right to say it in the first place. Considering the international attention she brought onto herself, I'd say she was fairly effective. Plenty of Moroccans are sick of living the way they do. A good friend of mine, a man, is going through the asylum process here in the US because he was discriminated against so much for not being a Muslim. I grew up in Europe and you're full of shit that they roll their eyes. Europeans very much value and excercise their freedom of speech. But also, she is fighting not just for the freedom of speech but for the mere right of certain peopel to exist. |
I think it is her home country? |
Sure is. |
NP, oh please, Europeans do not have full free speech either. I dare you to say the holocaust never happened and see how many months of jail time you get. You can’t knowingly break a rule then be surprised when there are consequences. Their country, their rules. I don’t see any basic human rights violations here either. She’s not being tortured. She did something against the law and has to serve jail time. As if our laws are perfect. Smh |
She doesn't have rights. She is property. |
No, they should stay here & burn American flags like good little useful idiot radicals. |
Show me one example of someone being jailed in the EU for saying that the Holocaust wasn't real. How high and mighty of you to spew that nonsense while proudly being able to say it in the first place. It is her country and she has every right to demand change for human rights violations. |
Our resident MAGA moron is back. Never read an actual news article in his life. But it doesn't stop him from running his ugly mouth. |
hey ms paranoid, this thread is about Morocco. Even if the US is headed in that direction, we're not there yet. |
+1 she was being inflammatory in a country where insulting Islam is banned. Not the same thing at all. Yes, the lack of human rights in those countries is worrying, but wearing tshirt that says "Allah is a lesbian" is doing nothing for women's rights. As a matter of fact, it's doing the opposite. |
Indeed, and I'm sure she expected to backlash for wearing that shirt. |
Again, it is her own country where she was born and where she lives. Fighting for her rights in her own country is not only admirable it is absolutely necessary. Yes, she knew what she was doing and she beautiful highlited the abuses her government lashes out to their own citizens. It’s bringing attention to the horrible inhumane system of government they have. Is she supposed to roll down and take the abuse? Just wish that the men in power would have a change of heart? That’s not how change happens. I applaud her in every way. |
