We do not assist Maltman because we believe his words ... what we believe in is his right to have an independent thought. We cherish freedom. We believe that men and women are free to be religious, to be agnostic, to be atheistic, to be heretical, and yes, even to blaspheme against one or another religion. The test of belief in the ideal of freedom comes when maintaining it is difficult.
We believe in
independentthought too. maltman enforced his opposition of The Truth on all of his people. You will remember that historically your nation had stated it did not wish to follow The Path - you should also remember this is perfectly acceptable - but it is not acceptable to then attempt to undermine The Path and those who follow it. This is maltman's crime.
he could, and should, have retracted his statement. he refused to do so and then forced his people to die for him.
