Breaking News - Three Gunman in Paris kill 12 and are on the loose.

I said there is no difference between the drawing depicting hatred of Islam and the twitter comments. Hate speech is hate speech.

They did not have it coming, but they were hating on Islam. Feel free to disagree with me.

 

and the point is that they also hated on other groups as well and yet those other groups did not produce this kind of reaction.

 

People who "hate" with cartoons don't deserve to be murdered.

Feel free to disagree with me.

 

It was not nearly as much. Face it, hating on Islam sells. Hating on other religions just doesn't sell as well.

 

Hell, I strongly disagree with you. They are essentially Mad Magazine with a more political bent. It is satire. You obviously aren't familiar with satire. I suggest you do some research and come back to us. They WERE NOT "hating on Islam." You are making excuses for a horrific act by some deranged madmen. With all respect due.

 

And ?

 

Did I say they deserved to be murdered? I think all of it is hate speech. Does that bother you?

 

I saw the same thing. I couldn't believe what I was reading, but there it is in black and white.

How many attacks have their been in the name of God in the last century? How many Holy wars have Christians declared? I can't recall any, but I could be wrong.

Makes me wonder if some hard core Christian groups will launch a modern day Crusades. I just wish there was some way to completely wipe all these extremists off the face of the planet to peaceful religions could co-exist.

 

most eyeopening thing, got stuck with my gf at the time in a train station and was trying to go back through some gates, dead quiet at night, 4 military dressed/machine clad people come in, open the gate, smile and keep walking

 

Do you think jokes, satire, and criticism are hate speech?

Do you think anything negative is hate speech?

 

You clearly are not familiar with the magazine or their history, except what is being reported in the media.

Go do some research of your own research on their previously released publications before talking out of your buttocks.

 

So what if they were hating on Islam? These cartoonists hated on Christians, Catholics, Jews, yet none of these religions in our increasingly secularly influence society prompts people as much to "defend the honour" as Islam.

As is with anything, they (like everyone else) do not have some special privledge to be offended.

I think those cartoons are hateful depictions of Muslims. Naked cartoons of hairy Muslims with big noses. I see stereotypes fueled by hate.

 

I think Obama is right. All hate speech is disgusting. You guys are hypocrites if you think some is and some ain't.

Ciao.

 

Guess how long it took me to find these covers? 1.4 seconds

Spoiler

 

Oh dear. Hairy and big noses.

You realize they're cartoons right?

 

What are you? 12 years old?

 

And this is reason to murder people?

 

How do you know it is fueled by hate? It's satire. There's a difference between satire and hate speech.

Even if people can't distinguish between satire and hate speech, killing isn't the response to either.

 

To quote the video you obviously did not watch,

In other words, I don’t think I sound self-pitying if I say that I’m offended that a cartoonist in a tiny democratic country in Scandinavia, Denmark, can’t do his job without a death threat, and that no American magazine or newspaper would reprint those cartoons, either to elucidate the question or in solidarity.

I’m offended that civil society in Iraq is being destroyed, leveled, by the parties of God. I’m offended that people in this country believe that they have the right to advocate the teaching of garbage to children under the fatuous name of “intelligent design.”

Just as I believe that where religion ends, philosophy begins; where alchemy ends, chemistry begins; where astrology ends, astronomy begins and now would the people say, well let’s give equal time to astrology in the schools? It’s nonsense, dangerous and sinister and nonsense.

The Pope says, “AIDS may be bad, but condoms are much worse.” What kind of moral teaching is this, and how many people are going to die for such dogma?
