THIS is how you handle terrorist groups, not like here in America, where people let them hide behind the First Amendment and make excuses for their ideologies and behavior.

Americans (and others) who like to tout free speech, watch them turn 180 instantaneously if you ask them whether the first amendment is applicable to ISIS, or any other groups that they don't like.

There's a difference between being able to criticize government and people in power, to straight up inciting hate and racism.

And many of those same absolutists fully support laws criminalizing stolen valor.
