	Freedom of speech - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For freedom of speech in specific jurisdictions see Freedom of speech (international).
		Freedom of speech is often regarded as an integral concept in modern liberal democracies, where it is understood to outlaw censorship.
		While this type of suppression of speech is even more difficult to prevent than government suppression, there are questions about whether it truly falls within the ambit of freedom of speech, which is typically regarded as a civil liberty, or freedom from government action.

	All Things Beautiful: Islam - A Militant And Proselytizing Faith
		People are discussing this bullying towards freedom of speech more today because of the freedom of the press and the cartoon issue, but the struggle has already been active and damaging the freedom of speech in the classrooms and is effecting the minds of our youth in ways people might not realise.
		Real freedom will come with truth and the truth will have to be addressing the actual ideology itself and stop sidestepping the issue of refusing to scrutinize it claiming it is "some taboo belief" or "trying to label a person as racist" when they question or disagree with the ideology.
		The Western society remains free only to the extent that the Muslim, basking in his newfound freedom in Western society, is free, and that, is only to the extent that his mind and mental attitude is free from the ideology that failed him and necessitated his departure from his homeland.

		Like other fundamental human rights, religious freedom is not created or granted by the state, but all states should protect it.

	1994 International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights
		Collins, 323 U.S. Because the freedom of speech under the U.S. Constitution entails the freedom to engage in symbolic speech and expressive conduct, cases involving the right to assemble are frequently resolved by applying free speech analysis.
		For example, the government may prohibit the distribution of leaflets inside a courthouse, but not outside the courthouse, where it is limited to reasonable time, place, or manner restrictions, as the area around a courthouse is traditionally considered a public forum appropriate for public demonstration or protest.
		The ability of governments to limit assembly depends considerably on the primary activity of the locales in question, in tandem with the type of regulation.

		International terrorism post-11 September and the spread of weapons of mass destruction require a further redefinition of the rights of a nation-state, he argued in a speech on Friday.
		Tony Blair in fact first mentioned his doctrine of international community (and world figures like to be known for their doctrines) in a speech in Chicago in 1999.
		He wondered whether international law should not be developed to avoid situations where "a regime can systematically brutalise and oppress its people and there is nothing anyone can do, when dialogue, diplomacy and even sanctions fail, unless it comes within the definition of a humanitarian catastrophe".

	"Taking Liberty" by William A. Galston
		International conditions have almost always forced presidents, to one extent or another, to choose between protecting the nation's interests and advancing the borders of freedom—and an unswerving devotion to the latter has often led to disaster.
		By contrast, in his 1941 State of the Union speech, at the threshold of the greatest struggle for liberty in the history of the world, FDR forthrightly stated that “I have called for personal sacrifice.
