18. OK, you believe that governments do have the right to regulate speech
and religious belief (or nonbelief). That's certainly your prerogative, but defending theocracy in other parts of the world makes it harder to protest against it here.

As someone pointed out above, the majority of Americans would probably have no objections to laws forbidding Muslims from proselytizing in the US. According to your reasoning, such laws would be justified. I happen to disagree.
