lol, i really doubt that's what's being said in muslim countries. you have to remember that the whole "freedom of speech" thing isn't a universal value, it's a recent western invention.

democracy flourished in athens for a very short time... as for guaranteed free speech for the populous i'm really not sure that they ever made a point of it. maybe you know more about it than i do but i've never heard that. i'd like some historical sources if you have them.
like the roman republic for instance... saying the wrong thing there could get you killed from what i've read. yea rich landowners had some right to voice their opinion in that establishment sure. but that's not really on the level of what i'm talking about. i mean i'm sure the idea of free speech goes way back but i'm talking about putting it to practice. even the united states didn't respect free speech during the first world war. people talked about it for a long time before we ever really saw any results. |
