Page "Proselytism" Paragraph 25

Views on the propriety of different types of proselytism differ radically.

Some feel that freedom of speech should have no limits and that virtually anyone, anywhere should have the right to talk about anything they see fit.

Others see all sorts of proselytism as a nuisance and an intrusion and would like to see them restricted ( either completely or to a limited arena ).

Thus, Prof. Natan Lerner of Tel Aviv University observes that the issue is one of a clash of rights — the perceived right of a person to express his or her views versus the perceived right of a person not to be exposed to views that he or she does not wish to hear.
