Adrie to Krimel:
Is it possible that the protection of this right of free speech is
expandable until it violates other people's rights?
Andre:
You hit the nail on the head here Adrie and it reminds me of the
Wilder's phenomenon here in Holland. Not sure if you follow the
political discussions here but the man uses this right to freedom of
speech to violate three Constitutional rights:
1) religious freedom
2) (denying) the right to free speech (of all people who are professing
the Muslim faith)
3) a person may not be discriminated on the basis of his religion,
political views or gender.
In this context I would say that YES there are limits to free speech.
And I think that the MOQ has something to say about that as well...it
has to do with the DQ/sq balancing act.
