I believe that this motion, while not changing any substantive law, still has a chilling effect on free speech as it relates to legitimate criticism of the religion of Islam. Frankly speaking, there is a perfectly legitimate and reasonable debate to be had over the fundamentals of that religion, its holy book, its general truth claims even in their most "moderate" form, and some of the cultural traditions and moral precepts of even the most mainstream forms of Islam. And that is to say nothing of the more fundamentalist, extremist forms of Islam that have a very large number of followers across the globe. To challenge the truth claims of this religion's holy book, popular clerics etc. is not "phobic" and has nothing to do with any phobias ("irrational fears").

That is why this government motion chills free speech, in my opinion. I have many rationally-based concerns and even an aversion to that monotheism, as do many in the world's free democracies and elsewhere. That is not "phobic".
