Islamic beliefs certainly do not preclude freedom of speech. The Qur’an is replete with verses denouncing, for example, the use of force to compel belief, and the Prophet Muhammad is consistently told that an individual’s faith is a matter between him/her and God.

And I wish Mulsim leaders, like Daisy Khan, would spend less time telling us that THIS (stifling of free speech) has nothing to do with Islam, and more on telling their co-religionists that THIS
must stop. Religions are not judged by their scriptures but by how the scriptures are practiced. Islam is not judged by one Koranic verse or another but by the fact that it has managed to cohabitate for 14 centuries with the worst practices known to man without serious attempts to eject them from its midst.

Can you please explain/clarify how: (a) Quran [005:033] and (b) Quran [009:029] admit freedom of speech and equality in freedom of religion, respectively ?
