Is the freedom to dissent ultimately the most important freedom of all?

Isn’t it the basic freedom that leads to all other freedoms?

I recently saw a documentary about the moderates in Islam versus the islamists. The moderates believe Islam can indeed exist within a democracy and that the religion needs to evolve much like christianity did since the Dark Ages.

These moderates (liberals really) believe in secular government, equal rights for women, and democracy. The right-wing fundies though disagree, call them “anti-islamic” or “traitors”, and then go on to kill or try to kill them.

It’s hard to reform a system/religion when dissenters are constantly targetted for murder.

If some Catholic says “Islam is a lie, Christian is also a lie”, will it be considered religious discrimination or the right to freedom of religion ? Can anybody tell me ?
