Robert de Niro in Righteous Kill (watch trailer): “Nothing wrong with a lil shooting, as long as the right people get shot”.

Agree? Buy a gun.
Don't agree? Get shot.

As heard on studio 360, Salman Rushdie once said:

Obviosly a rigid, blinkered, absolutist worldview is the easiest type to keep hold of, whereas the fluid, uncertain, metamorphic picture i have always carried about is rather more vulnerable. Yet i must cling with all my might to that cameleon, that chimera, that shape-shifter, my own soul. Must hold on to its mischievous , iconoclastic, out-of-step clown instincts, no matter how great the storm. And if that plunges me into contradiction and paradox, so be it. I lived in that messy ocean all my life. I have fished in it for my art.

Free speech is a non-starter says one of my islamic extremist opponents. No sir, it is not. Free speech is the whole thing, the whole ballgame. Free speech is life itsself.

Imagine you get detained for posting your thoughts on social and political issues. Unthinkable you might think. In Iran however the government might feel you are "disturbing the public mind".

I found this in a news article on the Bobs website. Stop censoring us, a blog about the internet censorship in Iran, keeps track of these scare tactics.
