I believe that there should be millions of these types of cartoons made and we should all troll the middle east like crazy until they become so desensitized to it that they can finally become civil over trivial matters and make their own stupid cartoons bashing on non muslims in retaliation rather than behaving like barbaric fiends

Hopefully 3rd times a charm on your attempt with this thread.

I think most of us here agree that Freedom Of Speech is an essential aspect of a truly free society.
I support free speech, and these guys absolutely have the right to print these cartoons.

Knowing that my actions could potentially cause the death of my countrymen would require me to make damn sure that what I was doing was a justified and warranted action.

I just wonder if these guys at the magazine feel that way, or if they have other motivations?

I think the French are trying to make a point about free speech ~ that the rest of the world is not going to be silenced by a group of barbarians.

But isn't a huge gamble? a bomb already exploded and they are closing embassies and school in 20 countries. What if people die on France soil regarding that cartoon ?

Then i'm sorry, but it just reinforces how backwards and barbaric they are and highlights how little faith they have in their faith. If you think you are going to be offended by it dont buy it or look at it. Dont go and buy or look to be offended. I think more countries and companies should do more like it, this is the West and we have freedom of speech, whether people like it or not, this should include mocking everyone as far as i'm concerned

Atleast now we get a chance to use the same freedom of speech laws to deny holocaust and tell the world how the Zionists exaggerated the death toll numbers during WW2.

Freedom of speech is a double edged sword i guess.

You are absolutely correct. Just as the cartoonists used their freedom of speech to bring a little light to the dark world of Islam, you are free to use freedom of speech to tell the rest of the intellectual and civilized world what an idiot you are.

I might be an 'idiot' but the 'freedom of speech' allows me along with couple of neo-nazis to state our opinions in front of the israeli embassies all over the world right?

i think the muslims should have a chat to the irish. lets face it....they have had the most jokes made about them and i dont see them marching in the streets.

edit on 20-9-2012 by forklift because: (no reason given)

So, you would use your freedom of speech to riot about a cause that belongs to neo-nazi groups, a group so intellectually void and sexually driven(and just like with Islam, a lot of these neo nazi's seem to have SEVERE parental issues), in front of an Israeli embassy? First of all, I don't think there are enough neo-nazi's to protest all over the world. Second of all, neo-nazi's are free to organize demonstrations as they have done in the past, and quite recently they held a big one in Arhus, Denmark. So your point is mute.

Moreover, your point is not only mute, but you don't seem to be able to tell the difference between inciting hatred(what neo nazi's and muslims do - you guys are so alike, why not group up?) and ridiculing a religion. Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, are all ridiculed on a daily basis, if not hourly. Yet you compare ridiculing a religion to demonstrating in front of an embassy. That's...special.
