Freedom of speech?

Why is that when you criticize Christianity, Islam, Hinduism etc (religion, not individuals). It's a matter of freedom of speech but when you question Judaism and Zionism, it becomes a matter of anti-semitism only? Why not freedom of speech applies in that subject?

The mix of politics and religion.
Those who have a faith hate criticism of any kind.
However if those same people actually stood up and said..."NO NO NO ! This has NOTHING to do with faith !!! You probably wouldn't see 'extremism' in ANY form by ANYone !
That is so true. Sadly though those religions and politics have such blind followers. If one were to stand up, they become the martyr.

Religion should be kept out of politics completely. Religion is a powerful tool
Zealot religionists should be kept out of politics. Most religions have an intent of a basic moral compass. One needs a basic morality to govern a populous wisely or with humanities, even if the religion is a scientific or non dogmatic religion. @Noctus:

@JoanieNewHampshire: It still needs to be done !
Whatever the faith !!
You can't have people invading sovereign land then say "We're taking this ! You owe us for a millennia of oppression !" Just as you can't accept a 'child of -insert the name of any deity you like here' saying 'Im going to drive this truck laden with explosives into a marketplace and detonate it because I believe it's what my deity wants me to do !'
What still needs to be done? Those examples you have given, in their vagueness are actionable offenses. I don't understand your point? Did yo understand mine. @Picklebobble:

@JoanieNewHampshire: Absolutely, any person with a brain will ignore them. That's why they target illiterate people and little children. They deprive them of education and a good living. I live in Pakistan and there's a lot of border conflict with India. It's been since fucking forver. Now when there's a shooting at the border between patrol of both countries, Pak media will portray India bad and Indian media will portray Pak bad. Instead of taking that for granted, both sides should ask "What the hell is really going on"
George Soros lol! I remember when I was a kid, hearing about India and Pakistan. @Noctus:
@Picklebobble: I'm not sure I understand?

@JoanieNewHampshire: Yeah. And the conflict goes on.
Do you even know why? I thought it originally was because when the Brits had India Pakistan was made part of it, but because of the Indian independence and the difference in religions Pakistan being Muslim split from India @Noctus:

@JoanieNewHampshire: That's mainly the reason. The conflict is majorly religious difference, cultural difference and the dispute of Kashmir. I don't know how it's going to be resolved but it has to otherwise the hatred will go on for generations.
@Noctus: sadly you are correct. And sadly we as humans haven't evolved past the crush them if they don't agree with us mentality. It's going to take one devistating war or unifying Leaders. But what it is really going to take are large groups of people saying No, to religious extremists. But with religious extremists promising the world to weak minds we are going to go through a lot of crap before then do that.
