Political Correctness = slow painful death of freedom?

A cool video I found about free speech laws in Britain, and the Islamic movement there. It can get a little cynical at times, but some good points are made.

  1. P1: Political correctness makes all traditions acceptable

    P2: some traditions cause needless suffering

    C: Political correctness causes needless suffering

    deductive, true, sound

    This argument makes sense to me, and obviously something must be done, but how are we to classify what is needless suffering?


    p.s. watched video of Choudary here:

    and almost everything he says is reasonable and probably correct, and the hosts just sit there doing everything they can to bash him.
