While I believe in the Marketplace of Ideas I am gravely concerned with providing a public venue for hatemongers to gather and share strength. Some might argue that it is better to try and uncover and expose, but I am not so sure about that. It is a slippery slope, but I think Facebook needs become more clear in their position and adopt a stronger stance. There are always limitations on speech.

These are ethical issues, not religious issues. (At the same time, the "nipple rule" seems patently absurd, especially as applied to something as mundane and natural as breast feeding.)

There are other places for hate to manifest. Special sites one could go to, to communicate with others of the same hateful mind. It isn't about Religion...it's about breaking the cycle. Alas, this is one thing that religion must do as well...in order for us to evolve as a SPECIES!
