ReplyDeleteHere's a quote from wikipedia on the Origins of Freedom of Speech. The world owes Islam and Muslim for this.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_speech
Freedom of speech and expression has a long history that predates modern international human rights instruments. .... In Islamic ethics freedom of speech was first declared in the Rashidun period by the caliph Umar in the 7th century.[13] In the Abbasid Caliphate period, freedom of speech was also declared by al-Hashimi (a cousin of Caliph al-Ma'mun) in a letter to one of the religious opponents he was attempting to convert through reason.[14] According to George Makdisi and Hugh Goddard, "the idea of academic freedom" in universities was "modelled on Islamic custom" as practiced in the medieval Madrasah system from the 9th century. Islamic influence was "certainly discernible in the foundation of the first deliberately-planned university" in Europe, the University of Naples Federico II founded by Frederick II, Holy Roman Emperor in 1224.[15]
