communist ideology postulates an antagonistic struggle between the workerclass and the capitalistclass and it is inevitable that this struggle is resolved forcefully in a revolution in which the majority of the workerclass will subdue the capitalistclass and then continue to suppress it until the class becomes completely exterminated through reeducation, execution or just extinction. socialists have just modified this by introducing a new group of hard professionals, that lead the revolution, for the workingclass, which is yet too weak. extreme force must be applied by this avantgarde to overthrow the government and to murder all perceived members of the capitalistclass, first as punishment for exploiting the workers, second as precaution, so they cannot start a counterrevolution. you can ofcourse continue to execute counterrevolutionaries for decades, whenever you identify them.

religionism is real simple. he does not follow gods laws as we are and is still living happily, that cannot be to gods likening, so we will punish him to please god.
the bible has a lot of ugly threats against those, who would not follow gods laws.
hosea 13.16 "Samaria will be punished for turning against GoD. It will be destroyed in war, children will be beaten against rocks, and pregnant women will be ripped open" or psalm 137.9 "Happy are those who take your little ones and dash them against the rocks"

Yes, the bible (as almost all religious books) is a beatiful book....

After Muhammed's efforts to convert all Jews and Christians to Islam failed, the sura "Those who reject (Truth), among the People of the Book and among the Polytheists, will be in Hell-Fire, to dwell therein (for aye). They are the worst of creatures. Those who have faith and do righteous deeds,- they are the best of creatures" (XCVIII: The Proof: 6-7) became part of the Quran.
Qur'an 7:163 says that God told a group of Sabbath-breakers living by the sea "Be ye apes, despised and rejected" to punish them for breaking the Sabbath. This verse (interpreted to mean that they were turned into apes) is sometimes used by hostile groups to mock the Jews, on the grounds that these must have been Jews, since the Sabbath is a commandment which (according to Islam) God demanded of Jews but not of his other followers. Thus Hamas says:


"Allah did not mete out the punishment of transformation on any nation except the Jews. The significance of it is actual change in the appearance of the Jew and perfect transformation from human to bestial condition... from human appearance to the form of genuine apes, pigs, mice, and lizards..." (Source: The Hamas monthy publication Falastin Al-Muslima (London), September 1996, series of articles by Ibrahim Al-'Ali, pp. 54-55.)
"The Jews...are the brothers of monkeys and pigs...Allah has warned us against their evil and their arrogance, and has said: 'You will find that the most brazen among mankind, with hatred towards the believers, are the Jews and the Idolaters.' [Koran, 81,5]...The Jews are Jews, and we are forbidden to forget their character traits even for a moment, even for a blink of an eye. O Servants of Allah! The Jews are those who tried to murder your Prophet in order to expunge the call (to Islam)....Prayer and blessing to the Imam of the Jihad fighters, Mohammed, who waged a Jihad against the Jews...The Jews...are Idolaters, heretics, whose faith is false."
Interpretations aside, people use the Quran for their own means.
I dont claim to be an expert, but dont jump at the conclusion that I am ignorant on the subject.

I would have to agree that any law that hampers or diminishes a man´s right to free speech should never go into place, as it is unconstitutional in most standards.
People are free to think whatever they want, and say whatever they want. The few cases where that speech might infringe on other people´s rights is already covered by every penal code in Europe. It´s called sedition, or incitement to violence. Supposing some nazis start preeching how nazism was marvelous and shit, they are within their rights to do so, just as i am when i say that capitalism sucks bigtime. But if that same nazi starts to ad some "kill the jews" slogans to his speech, then he is infact inciting violence, and can face jail. There´s a fine line separating both, but it´s there nonetheless.
The same goes for signs and symbols. There´s nothing wrong with showing a swastika. However, if below the swastika it has something written in the lines of "kill the jews", then obviously it should be banned. I guess a lot of it depends on personnal interpretations. I might interprete that sign as harmless, while as the next guy might think it´s anti-semitic. But then that´s why we have judges, isn´t it? To judge and interprete the significance of the sign for us!
Often we forget the rights of the people who profess not so popular views, wich is why man created laws and guidelines, to protect the rights of the minorities, just as it protects the majorities.

Btw, the Bible is one of the most hatread inciting texts ever published. It´s up there with Mein Kampf, if not even higher. The diference is in its phrasing and context, but the subliminar messages are definitely there. Religious texts are often the greatest hatread multipliers, simply because they cause all the major rifts between cultures.

From the site http://www.submission.org/ (they say it's the authorized English translation): http://www.submission.org/Q-T.html

"[7:163] Remind them of the community by the sea, who desecrated the Sabbath. When they observed the Sabbath, the fish came to them abundantly. And when they violated the Sabbath, the fish did not come. We thus afflicted them, as a consequence of their transgression."

I don't see this as reviling the jews.

Men can interpret books as they want and say whatever they want.

Sure, but nonetheless, just another version of the same verse:
A. Jews Transformed Into Apes

God transformed these Jews into apes because they disobeyed His commandment and went to catch fish on a Saturday. These Jews inhabited a coastal city (refer to Chapter 2:65). The Qur’an says:

"And you know of those of you who broke the Sabbath, how we said unto them, ‘Be apes, despised and hated!"’

The interpretation of the expositors of the Qur’an is in full agreement with the content of these verses (refer to the Baydawi, page 14; Jalalan, pages 10, 11; Zamakh-shari, part 1, page 286). We also read the same incident in chapter 7:163-166 and in chapter 5:60 in which these Jews were transformed into apes and swine.

Even if we agreed that the Quran says so, so what? In Quran also the muslims who don't follow the word of God get punished. So it's punishments for everyone.

All in all the main message of the Quran is love, respect etc. Most of the hatred that is said to be in the book is due to the interpretation of men using the book according to their own agendas.
