You consider it acceptable to be afraid of the evil elements within your society, so much so that your women fear walking alone at night and your children can not play in peace in your neighborhood. The evil elements of your society are given free rein to terrorize the good, while you continue to preserve your precious right to complain about it. In pure Islam, we do not allow certain types of speech, that which harms the beliefs, persons and virtues of our people, but our people enjoy a higher quality of life because they are free to live moral, decent lives and to feel safe and comfortable in their homes, their neighborhoods, their cities and their countries. We believe that there can not be freedom without limits because that leads to anarchy and destruction. These people believed that the right to speak freely, to view pornography, to malign God, man and country were essential to happiness.
Absolute freedom is dangerous.
Allah knows this, that is why He chose for us Islam as our religion. That is why we, Muslims, always take the preferred middle course, a course which may have restrictions but which creates freedom as a result of the restrictions. Our prophet was consistently asking us to take the middle course. This was and is for our own good. We have seen the results of extremism in both directions.
