Delmon Young Arrested for Anti-Semitic Remarks

Anti-Semitic remarks get MLB player suspended
Source : http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7...224024,00.html

The news in brief : Detroit Tigers outfielder Delmon Young suspended without pay for one week after he yelled racist slurs at several men during an altercation
This is irrelevant. MLB teams are PRIVATE organizations, and they dictate employment/suspension policies. Usually hate speech of any kind (as well as drug related arrests, violence related arrests/controversies, etc etc) will warrant a suspension. This is not a "government-mandated" a*s-kicking for being anti-semitic.

Look up Juan Williams and the NPR controversy. The guy was fired for anti-Muslim remarks. So will you now say America denies people the right to be anti-Muslim?

In a different news :

'Elmo' Arrested In Central Park For Yelling Anti-Semitic Remarks
Source : http://www.ibtimes.com/elmo-arrested...s-video-704395

News in brief :

A man dressed as Elmo, the fun-loving character from Sesame Street, was hauled in handcuffs from New York's Central Park on Sunday afternoon after making anti-Semitic rants to pedestrians and tourists.

The man urged people to read The International Jew, an infamous anti-Semitic pamphlet written by auto tycoon Henry Ford in the 1920s, reported the Daily Mail.
Did you read that article? He was never arrested. And it wasn't the anti-semitism that led to police drag him away. He was screaming at little kids in a park. I'm sure he'd be dragged away if he screamed anti-Nazi things at little kids, also.

But an anti Muslim message gets court approval to be printed and advertised in one of the biggest establishment, in the name of Freedom !!
Anti-RELIGION messages, published by the American Atheists, are also running in Subways and stations in multiple metropolitan cities. So are a crapton of ads that are spreading dawah everywhere (the "Why Islam" ad campaign). In the name of freedom.

These are the facts. Then there's what YOU believe.
