Yes that is EXACTLY what freedom of speech means, and this is exactly why Islam is not compatible with Western values or freedom in general. Islam is a globalist totalitarian supremacist political system under the guise of a religion. Even if 10% of Muslims are extremists, that is still 200 million radical Islamists committing acts of terror and violence. That number is unrealistically low as evidenced by these stats as well as many others. Shariah law is not compatible with freedom, period.
As far as WW2, last I checked this was not a religious war, and Hitler and the Nazis were not particularly fond of Christians either. He did however get along quite well with Islam. Islam needs to clean its own house, because the West is waking up to the taqiyya and if you refuse to clean your own house we will do it for you on our terms not yours.
History shows how tolerant Christianity is, until one day they are oppressed too much, then they will spend every waking moment dedicated to obliterating their enemies. No one wants that. Stop pretending Islam does not have a problem, because the world knows it does, and either the real true Muslims can work to repair it or wait until the world starts striking back without mercy. If the only thing Islam respects is strength then their cups will overflow with it until they are washed away in a torrent of blood. The times for making excuses for Islam has passed. The time for reformation is now. I want people to have freedom of religion and to worship God how they choose, I will not however stand silent while this vile violent supremacist ideology is given the protective cloak of religion to protect it from criticism. Islam itself deserves criticism.
Arguably the Japanese side of WWII may be considered a religious war. This is often overlooked and the concepts are somewhat confusing.

Divinity of the Emperor
Many cultures have attributed divinity or significant spiritual gifts to their rulers. The rulers of ancient Egypt and Rome were treated as gods, and medieval kings (including England's Henry VI) were regarded as having the ability to cure diseases with the royal touch.
The Japanese concept of the divinity of the Emperor is often misunderstood by Westerners. Neither the Emperor nor most of his people ever thought that the Emperor was a God in the sense of being a supernatural supreme being.
From the 6th century onwards it was accepted that the Emperor was descended from the kami (in this context gods), was in contact with them, and often inspired by them.
This didn't make him a god himself, but rather imposed on him the obligation of carrying out certain rituals and devotions in order to ensure that the kami looked after Japan properly and ensured its prosperity.
Yes, good.
When you get the feel for the reason why the people imposed kami on the emperor, it was so that they had contact with the gods in a form that they could deal with, so they could get god-miracles from the emperor. A wise emperor, just to remain alive, had to outsmart the people.
In what way did the emperor have to outsmart the people? Since the people were expecting miracles from the gods through the emperor, he had to be able to do these miracles, or possibly die at their hands in a revolt. But nobody can really do miracles. So, he had to be shrewd with the people to make them think that the miracles were being done, or to become a magician in front of the people (all the hocus-pocus ceremony), or to mount an army big enough to put down any rebellion (without the people realizing that the army was to be used against them if necessary), or to trick the people into being politically against each other so that the focus was off the emperor, or any combination of these things.
And this is exactly what many governments do to their people all the time - including the USA government to its people. But the Islam government is one of the biggest in these areas. It's the way that it holds the people as an army to use against the world or against themselves, when necessary.
Japanese government is traditionally similar to the Chinese government in many basic ways. Japan came from China ages ago. So, they are simply an offshoot of what China has done for ages. And look at the size of China.
Compare China's size with Islam's size. It all has to do with treachery built into the government by the people asking for emperors who are gods. In the case of Islam, it is simply the fact of making their government to be a religion, as well as a government, so that they don't have to appoint an emporer. This makes Islam able to be more straight forward in their conquest... no direct emperor to piddle with.
Islam >>> a government religion of war and conquest, right in its own writings - http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/quran/023-violence.htm.
