Ali Eteraz, an American Muslim lawyer on free speech:

Posted on April 22, 2008

Update by Jay: Ali Eteraz says we have misrepresented him, and puts forth his defense. Fair is fair, make sure to read his defense.
His view of Dutch politician Geert Wilders:

“Wilders is a threat to liberal society. I do not believe that Wilders’ views must be criminalized by the state, but they should be deemed out of the bounds of liberal society much the same way that we consider discrimination on the basis of gender unacceptable. Further, the threat of a civil and democratic discussion — yes, the threat of a discussion — about the criminality of his views should be left on the table as a deterrent. Our aim should be to rid liberal society of people like Wilders.

Mr Eteraz contributes to Leftist organs such as the Puffington Host and The Guardian from time to time. One critique of his views is here

I wonder if Eteraz considers sharia a threat to liberal society?

Ali Eteraz should go back to whatever sand pit he poisoned his presence if he doesn’t like Wilders lambasting the koran
