This is why the freedom of the internet must be defended at all cost against attempts to gag it, to censor it, to control it, to ban it. When in the 60s the anti-Vietnam and the Hippy-movement in America and the reform-pedagogues and the so-called 68ers in Germany/Europe started to revolt not only against petrified and indeed misled moral crusts and value-monuments, they not only started to breath fresh air into the space occupied by these, but they started to deconstruct constructive things and what in principle is good quality in our societies as well. The aftermath of this in Europe and especially in Germany maybe are more alive still than in America, I do not know for sure about the US. But a result of this deconstruction of the moral fundament was that the counter-revolution by the religious establishements also started going, having come greater power again since let'S say the past 20 years while they claim that secularism is a great threat to the world and needs to be replaced with obedience to the church's dogma (that is what the pope also told America when he visited the US, wasn't it: that the primary duty of the believers shall be obedience to the church). This counter-revolution of the parasite clergy has led to some remarkable successes in its attempt to revive some of the claims it has lost since the church lost in influence since the rennaissance and enlightenment. But the plan does not go as smooth as planned anymore. Churches are emptying in Europe, which is good in principle. Unfortunately, mosques multiply, which is not good at all. And the church helps the Islamisation becausue it hopes to benefit from Islam'S success, and a society it needs to share with Islam'S dogma still is better to the church than a society that is truly secular and independent from the church, and does not want and does not need it. The power and control, the influence and the wealth of clergy needs the weakness and lacking education of the sheep it tries to convince that they must accept being herded by the clergy, else.... That it doe snot go that smooth anymore is due to the slow spread of scientific information, general education, contact to other, less sadistic religions that before existed in global isolation somewehre else - and since one decade also due to the internet. And neither churches nor offended Muslims, not polticians and parties nor governments and secret services shall be allowed without bitterly resisting to them to gag and censor and limit freedom of speech on the web. So watch out especially against the cowardish dhimmies of the EU and the Christian fundamentalists in American politics. They will - and already do - push hard for bringing the web under control of their dogmas, and they will have no scruples to deceive and to lie over the intention, if that helps their cause. The best weapon against fanatic religious ideology is education, and the spreading of counter-evidence to dogmatic claims, and raising challenges to claims that in past centuries just passed by unchallenged, with all the intimidation and submission that followed in their wake. We shall not give up this freedom, never.
