If you want to tick off Muslims, don't expect my sympathy.

    Why do you guys keep saying I condone the attack ? That's your words, not mine.

    Yes, but I don't have sympathy for a white guy who wears a "I hate blacks" shirt in Chicago who gets his ass kicked.

    You seemed fixated on the employees at Charlie and believe they deserve some degree of blame for their murder.

    And yet, 2 police were killed, one of whom was responding to shots being fired, on a push bike, unarmed and was executed.

    Who is 100% to blame for that?

    I can't think of anything better to mock.......religion causes violence ......

    A rape victim is a victim....a religion isn't.

    And your op stated such. I think it was the way your worded it overall, was morning and all the juices not flowing.

    There is a difference between mocking the extremists/being critical of Islam and deliberately provoking fanatics.

    Would you feel sorry for a black guy who wears a "I hate whitey" shirt to a KKK rally who gets his ass kicked ?

    I clearly say I don't condone the attack in my OP. My issue was about whether we have an obligation to applaud a magazine for picking a fight with extremists.

    Answer me this - is a black guy who wears a "I hate whitey" shirt to a KKK rally asking for trouble ? What's the difference ?

    I believe the question was , It is simple, who do you want to decide what you can and cannot say?


    ...and it's a good question...

    Condemning, condoning, all hell, what difference, at this point, does it make?

    Charlie seemed to mock all religions. This took place in France, not a ME country with ME laws and customs.

    You wouldn't understand...it's called standing up for your rights, courage in the face of danger, fighting for what's right....those kind of people founded this country, your kind didn't..

    Know what this DID do? It showed what extremist Muslims are...to the world...

    Same difference; you're still blaming them essentially for not kowing to those radicals. Like I said, if they get their way one thing, they'll find more and more things to be ticked over. What makes them so exceptional that the West should have to watch itself not to tick them off? We don't live by their standards. If they want to live in the West, they need to accept OUR standards.

    That is not what happened, what happened is a guy wears a KKK shirt around town and the KKK showed up to his house and beat him up. Big differance.

    What a terrible example. A better example would be, "Would you feel sorry if a white guy kicked Al Sharpton's ass?" No one went to a mosque and posted cartoons. The Muslims were free to boycott the magazine and ignore the cartoons. They chose, and continue to choose, not to do that. I think Al Sharpton is an extortionist, a fraud, a tax cheat, a liar, and a liberal and he has a right to be all those things...with progressive protecting him from the law.

    Fortunately, brave Americans didn't kow to the enemy like you suggest, otherwise we'd be speaking German. What makes you so sure that walking on eggshells and being submissive to the enemy would win our freedom? It would only make us doormats and easily conquered by other oppressive governments.

    You already have a president who thought all he had to do was make 'nice talk' to the enemy. How's that working out?

    Exactly, if you dont want to "enrage them" you have to convert to Islam.

    These Muslim radicals are void of the morality and civility we expect in the West. Intentionally infuriating them is literally like poking a tiger with a stick and then blaming the tiger.

    Extremists have no concept of right or wrong - only what is commanded.

    so you're saying its ok to mock Jews, Christians, Buddhists, Shintos, Catholics, Mormons, Hindus...but if you mock Muslims you're asking to be killed and deserve it?

    They are only considered extremists to Western ideology and sensitivity. Are you willing to give up Western life? Then do what you suggest because that will lead to abandoning things like free speech.

    Here is an example of what Middle Eastern Muslim consider this.

    Muslim Cleric Defends Paris Terrorist Attack

    I suggest you give up on trying to emulate Eurabia and start defending your own culture.

    Because if we are going to be who we are we are provoking them. If they did not attack the magazine they would have attacked somewhere else because they do it all the time.

    Can you not understand they want us Muslim or dead? That is what they are.

    That's right. Go through life never provoking anyone. If you provoke black thugs, KKK thugs, union thugs, leftist thugs, gay thugs, or any other kind of thug and get killed, don't expect any sympathy from Channe. Don't get involved. Don't have an opinion. Just smile and be pleasant to everyone.
