Hypocrisy at it's Finest

Recently a radio ad in Texas advertising a concealed hand gun class has sparked a great deal of controversy. In the ad the owner Crockett Keller said "If you are a socialist liberal and/or voted for the current campaigner in chief, please do not take this class" and "If you are a non-Christian, Arab, or Muslim, I will not teach you the class.”. Many people support his ad and even congratulated him, while others want him to be punished for offending certain types of people. In his own defense Keller said he was using his right of freedom of speech, and was expressing his opinion. This controversy seems very similar to another recent incident. A man named Tarek Mehanna is currently on trial accused of aiding and spreading the ideas of the terrorist group al-Qaida. Mehanna has visited Yemen where he is thought to have contacted terrorists. He has also translated violent jihad messages into English, was found with texts describing al-Qaida training, and says that he loves Osama Bin Laden. Mehanna's family is defending him saying that he too is just practicing the 1st amendment and never harmed or planned to harm anyone. With the Keller situation, most people defending him are white Americans, a large amount of them who dislike Muslims. With the Mehanna situation most people defending him are most likely Muslims, a large amount of them dislike non-Muslims. Both of these men are defending themselves with freedom of speech, even though their views are polar opposites. The point I'm trying to make with these two current controversies are that people can be so hypocritical. Some people who support Keller because he is using the 1st amendment probably hate Mehanna and ignore that he was possibly using his first amendment and want him punished. And it's the same thing for Mehanna supporters who hate Keller. It is completely contradictory if someone takes account for the one of the two men’s freedom of speech and not the others. Some people might disagree saying that Mehanna was obviously trying to harm Americans, or that Keller was obviously trying to harm Muslims. I'm not saying that either men are guilty or innocent, but you must take in account for both of their freedoms of speech, no matter if you agree with Mehanna’s or Keller’s views, or what the situation is.
