Bravo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No one should be silenced in a free society, including Dr. Saad, whether we agree with his ideas or not. Instead, what would be more enriching in life is to debate and exchange ideas. Plus, if someone does not want to listen or debate, an easy solution would be to simply avoid reading his book or attending his talk, etc.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To conclude this post, at 5.36 minutes from the start, Dr. Saad&#8217;s wise words resonated with Bambi: &#8220;<em>With every loss, every cancelled deplatforming that is instantiated, a small piece of our freedom di<\/em>es&#8221;.
