That is NOT free speech, people. Get yourself educated on basic law.

I am educated. And you're wrong.

In that case, all rap music is illegal.

If it clearly incites violence, and it makes specific threats of violence and murder (including dates), and clearly advocates overthrowing the government, then yes, Janine, it IS against the law.

This is very disconcerting that some of you here are ignorant of the whole concept of free speech.

It's like calling in a false bomb threat, or shouting "fire" in a crowded theater, or publishing a book calling for the assassination of the President. All of which are illegal.

The guy clearly crossed the line into criminal behavoir.

... his obscene, violent and misogynistic raps that threaten to fly a plane into a building on Sept. 11, 2005.

That is NOT free speech, people. Get yourself educated on basic law.

Geesh.

"Last I heard, itâs still against the law to incite violence, make specific threats, and advocate the overthrow of the government"

Last I heard the First Amendment still applied to idiots and assholes.

Last I heard, it's still against the law to incite violence, make specific threats, and advocate the overthrow of the government. It ain't free speech to yell "fire" in a crowded theater. And it ain't free speech for an airport security screener to openly advocate and threaten more 9/11-like terror attacks.

Last I heard the First Amendment still applied to idiots and assholes. Unless he crossed the line and did something criminal then he can say whatever he wants. Certainly the content of his rap lyrics aren't that much more offensive then most of the genre.

When a military background check is requested, it includes the origin of your extended family, parents, siblings, grandparents, step-parents, step-siblings, any one to whom they have been or are still married to, etc. I would say that Palestinian origin, regardless of where an individual was born, would raise certain flags.

If we do this for citizens and non-citizens who volunteer to defend our country, shouldn't we do the same for those responsible for domestic security?

As for this rap-idiot, why not revoke citizenship for such stupidity?

Where do all these idiots come from?... Americans need to realize our rights and freedoms are being trampled on by foreigners from these hostile countries!

Uh, Zsa Zsa,

The article clearly says the idiot was born in HOUSTON. That's HOUSTON, TEXAS. That's TEXAS in the UNITED STATES.

That's it - let's shut the doors to our country because one of our own home-growns is an idiot.

The London train bombers were British citizens.

Haven't we learned that citizenship is not necessarily an indicator of terrorist activity?

Yikes!...Where do all these idiots come from? It is pretty bad when your baggage screener is of Palestinian desent! ...BUT... When he is rapping about September 11th. !!! THAT takes the CAKE! It bothers me that we are educating these individuals! Allowing foreigners from hostile countries to be educated should be stopped! ASAP! This is not their right! They are not Americans! Americans need to realize our rights and freedoms are being trampled on by foreigners from these hostile countries! We are basically teaching them to prepare chemicals and bombs so they can blow everything and everyone up!
