"Our commitment to responsibility requires that we address the intellectual side when speaking to our population. You remember that minister who burned the Koran and set off a number of murders of Westerners in the Mideast, he would have to have been tested on his knowledge of the Koran and of Muslim history before he could have been given a public media acceptance. But your media pumped up what should've been a nonissue. Your media was interested only in a sensational story and making money on that story. It was not responsible. In our country I can't imagine anyone paying any attention to an obviously ignorant person just because he called himself a minister of God."
-" I would assume then, that you couldn't submit ideas or articles to newspapers or Internet comment sections if they were anonymous.”
“True Con. Again it comes back to responsibility. You must be responsible when you are putting out an idea for the public to consider.”
-"Again you are so different from us. Our Declaration of Independence was released anonymously about a year after we had already started the war with Britain. But it was soon signed. Our Supreme Court has traditionally protected the free speech of people who were anonymous. The Internet has allowed the extensive use of anonymous contributions. The fact that many are absurd, untrue, obscene and grammatically incorrect does not limit their authors' opportunities for publication. Although some sites, particularly those of the Catholics and Mormons, filter every comment and disallow those they don’t think are acceptable."
