In the future, Samad, please refrain from posting stuff like the above

Strange... I thought you Americans value freedom of speech so much.
Note that Chris Jones did *not* say "Stop profaning Allah, or we
chop your head off, violate your women and salt your fields." That
would be anti-"free speech".
He, OTOH, said "please", and didn't even follow it up with a threat.
Lastly, "free speech" is nowhere near absolute, even in the US, even
though it was greatly expanded in the 1900s.
Really lastly, prudence and manners are always useful on a public list.
Absolutely lastly

Number One. Along with Establishment and Free Exercise of Religion,
Freedom of the Press, Peaceable Assembly, and Petitioning the
