Has this guy received any death or rape threats by angered Christians or Republicans? Is he being investigated by the Texas police because of his jokes?

....it would be great if Muslim comedians had the same freedom of speech...

Thanks,
Maybe soon they will start teaching two versions of mathematics, one where 2+2 = 4 and one where 2 + 2 = 5 and let the pupils choose

They already do, Liberals in the US have devised "Common Core" math, where students can give wrong answers, but still get good grades

You've never heard of the late, great Bill Hicks??? (died 1994)

Not really. But generally speaking, comedians in the West make jokes about religion (Christianity, Jewish, etc.) all the time, and generally walk around without fear of getting killed or thrown in jail. Joking about Muhammad? Hmmm, ask Charlie Hebdo, Dutch cartoonists....and those are just in Western countries. Go into the Middle East and crack some jokes about Muhammad and see how it ends...

Yeah, it's really crazy. The conclusion is that the scientific approach is bogus despite its clear effectiveness.

Looks like just another misrepresentation by the alt-right that amounts to a lie.

Apparently not the false result is praised but the correct logic used on the way to arrive there, and the correct intermediate results.

Over here, even in the good old days (cough) you'd get half points for getting, say, the final formula right but arriving at a false result because you botched the final calculation after inserting the respective values. Or perhaps you switched two digits of the right parameter so still ended up with the wrong result.

I'm surprised this is a new thing in the US.

Not really. Google "Common Core Math". Liberal Logic has managed to destroy something as simple as 2+2. Literally. Nobody likes it. Except Obama. And people who can't do math to start with. Conservatives HATE it across the board, partly because it is non-traditional, and partly because it rewards wrong answers (or marks correct answers wrong).

It's not a new thing.

It's just a combo of poor communication and nit picking.

If you turn that into a lesson on showing how mathematical principles are derived from axioms, and how axioms are rooted in empirics, I think it would be a very valuable lesson, not just in mathematics but also in epistemology.

On the other hand, if you think its better to teach that, on authority 2+2=4, how then are kids going to deal with somebody else telling them on authority that 2+2=5 if they haven't learnt anything about reasoning?

"how then are kids going to deal with somebody else telling them on authority that 2+2=5". I am sure they will meet many schoolteachers who teach them something that is not in the approved syllabus

Okay, so let's summarize, we don't need to teach people to reason or to think for themselves because there is an approved syllabus that will ensure they are never exposed to incorrect facts?

Bullshit, it's got nothing to do with Common Core.

Perhaps you should start with reading the links in what you link to. From the page linked to under "Common Core" in the Business Insider article:
"The standards just lay out what kids should know and be able to do, not actual lessons," Noschese said. "Nothing in Common Core forces the specific interpretation these teachers used."

The article goes on, provides additonal information about this aspect that says roughly the same. It's not as if you'd overlooked some obscure remark, you simply didn't read it.

Meanwhile in the UK: 4.5 years jail for ISIS propaganda. This will cost UK taxpayers 245,000£.

Removing british citizenship would be cheaper.

How does that work if they only have British nationality?

Yes, there might be some of dual nationality but you're stuffed if they are only British.

He is dual, Pakistani/British.
But what's next? Internment camps like for Japanese Americans during WWII?

I was sort of referring to people like Jack Letts.

They come from a middle-class secular family and their jihad tendencies seem to come from boredom/stupidity and teenage rebellion more than anything else.

Rather than house & feed him, while allowing him to indoctrinate fellow prisoners - send him away.

Many of the Islamists have dual nationality. solving a large part of the problem is better than not solving it at all.

Pray tell, do you have official stats to back up your assertion?
