@fredfelosofar You speak the truth. She's using her "muslim faith" as a ploitical tool to add some kind of credibility to her agenda.

[KenMacMillan]

The problem is the cartoons? How stupid do they think people are? There are no limitations to freedom of speech.

[KenMacMillan]

@yougonasorry That is exactly the type of speech that needs to be defended. You don't have to defend speech like "Hey, nice hat".

[yougonasorry]

@KenMacMillan of course I'm not defending the reaction some extremists had such as calling for the beheading of the artists or something, but i COMPLETELY understand where their anger comes from. Freedom of expression YES, but we DO draw the line when it comes to plain simply wanting to INSULT without any intellectual or critical message behind it, just simply provoke and call it freedom of speech, that's absolutely retarded. You KNOW they will get angry, so why do it? dumbass...

[yougonasorry]

@KenMacMillan No,like the ignorant you are,you should no that if you continuously insulted someone in public you could get arrested for 'public indecency' now that is just another term for not respecting other people. It's quite despicable that some people with your mentality consider THAT as freedom of speech (no critical thinking, no moral values to argue about,nada,NOTHING, just plain simply insulting the prophet) and you consider THAT as freedom of speech, absolutely disgusting

[KenMacMillan]

@yougonasorry You most certainly can express yourself by calling someone's mother a whore & christians mindless freaks. It happens all the time. We do not draw the line when it comes to insulting a faith unless the followers of that faith will murder you in cold blood like the scum that they are.

[yougonasorry]

@KenMacMillan no limitations? so i can express myself by calling you're mother a whore? or calling Christians mindless freaks? that's the dumbest thing i have heard today... OF COURSE there are limitations, you have your freedom of expression, but we have to draw the line when it comes to INSULTING a faith. This cartoon was deliberately made ONLY to insult, not to convey any message or critical thinking whatsoever, only to INSULT. however the reaction was still exaggerated...

[Giagantus]

@CloseTheseEyes Well it's hasn't really existed for hundreds of years (depends on country) and it certainly havent been allowed for all in the west (lower classes)

[slovokia]

Of course having honor / shame based culture does not help.

[slovokia]

How many embassies of muslim nations get burned? How many lfags of muslim countries get burned? Why do muslims claim a right to not be offended by what happens in the west?
