I believe you should be free to say what you like... but one has to be responsible for the words one uses. Especially right now with the religious tension in the Muslim community. This is especially true for preachers and Christians, we're not talk-radio shock jocks, we're supposed to be preachers of truth and grace.

Just my take on things bro.
The problem is is that WHO defines what is inflammatory? There is a difference between being inflammatory and saying something that causes others to resort to violance etc etc..if you say what you believe is the truth about Islam and Muhammed, in Australia...if a Muslim hears and complains, you can be prosecuted.

That is why this whole issue is so subjective and dangerous
