Free Speech Forbidden In Sweden

To many liberals, Sweden is the model for socialism and tolerance. And I suppose it is, if you only say that which is allowed to be said.

One Sunday in the summer of 2003, the Rev. Ake Green, a Pentecostal pastor, stepped into the pulpit of his small church in the southern Swedish village of Borgholm. There, the 63-year-old clergyman delivered a sermon denouncing homosexuality as "a deep cancerous tumor in the entire society" and condemning Sweden's plan to allow gays to form legally recognized partnerships.

And for that, Ake Green faces jail.
