If you scroll through the social media feed of almost any liberal, you will see two very common themes: preaching tolerance and a lack of tolerance. The same people that post disparaging remarks about Christians on a daily basis are the same people that are calling for “religious tolerance” when it comes to Muslims. They have no problems tearing down Kim Davis, but they claim that the media didn’t show enough religious and cultural sensitivity to the San Bernardino female terrorist. Yes, that actually happened.
So when those on the left call for “religious tolerance,” what they really mean is “Muslim sensitivity.” Recently a police chief in Manchester, UK claimed that offensive remarks about one’s religion are not protected as free speech. Translation: you’re not allowed to say things that Muslims don’t like.
Muslim Police Chief Says ‘Offending Culture, Religion And Tradition’ Not Protected As Free Speech
Muslim Police Chief Inspector Umer Khan made the statement on social media this weekend, and was immediately questioned by alarmed free speech campaigners.
He then apologised to those defending the right to be offensive for any “offence cause”, and argued that, “free speech should be used to promote tolerance & respect all.”
“[The statement regarding free speech] was a thought after a moving visit to Auschwitz”, he added.
When asked if Mr. Khan and the police force generally support the right to offend religious beliefs, the Greater Manchester Police press office told Breitbart London: “I don’t think we support anyone who would want to say anything offence[sic]”.
“It’s a storm in a tea cup… It’s about promoting tolerance, freedom of speech, that’s all he meant with it. He didn’t mean for it to be taken in an offensive way at all… it’s ironic, freedom of speech is what he’s now getting in trouble for”, the press office added.
A Greater Manchester Police Spokesperson added in an official statement: “A GMP Chief Inspector made a post on a personal Twitter account which has been taken out of context.
“He has apologised for any concern caused, which wasn’t the intention and has deleted the post.”
The same police chief has a history of calling remarks that Muslims find offensive “hate speech.” Last year Khan announced that the Manchester police would be cracking down on any such speech. Free speech proponents are holding this up as an example as to why free speech is so important. Free speech that offends nobody is easy and hardly needs protecting. It is speech that people find offensive that laws such as the United States’ 1st Amendment were created to protect.
