    These are the same people who think that Communists and Islamists are allies. They haven't exactly put much thought into this.

    I prefer to let people say what they wanna say. But I guess since self defense isn't much of an option in France, they have more to worry about.

    They really haven't. It's kinda a problem. But then again the lack of critical thinking has always been a problem.

    For it to count as inciting violence in the US, it has to be specific. If you just go around quoting the Bible and saying people, in general, deserve to die for hating your god, it doesn't count.

    Trust me, they put plenty of thought into it — boarding on obsession. Comprehension is another issue.

    It's an alliance of convenience, sort of like the Soviets and Nazis between 1939 and 1941.

    Of course now that the French Left has all they need, they are willing to take a harder liner on the rougher elements of that religion, and try to start shaping it a little bit more how they want with some social engineering.
    But go back just 5 or 10 years and Islam could do no wrong.

    Remember the concept of "moral relativism". They don't really maintain consistent positions on everything. Whatever beliefs are most practical for the moment.

    Yep. It's all just the spastic emoting of immense privelege and safety, with these people. They're like isolated lords, banged up in the castle with their obscene wealth for so long that they no longer have any capacity to think in even the most fundamentally practical and logical terms. They see a rough patch on yonder hill and throw silver coins at it, thinking that will smooth the view.

    1) I doubt anyone here is surprised by that.

    2) All the 'phobic' words are nonsense, made up, 'religion'-speak. They only have meaning for those in the cult. People with a beef against !slam are exercising their right to dislike it. Some people despise Christianity - do you accept that as Christophobia? Some people dislike heterosexuals - do you accept that as Heterophobia?

    I don't doubt it either, I've made it clear lots of times that I don't like America's freedom of Speech.

    Dislike is not the same thing as make laws against the practice of a religion, or attacking people because of their religious beliefs. Hence why we use the term islamophobia to refer to such fear that compels such action.

    And to answer your question-yes.

    The biggest issue with freedom of speech nowadays is really the freedom of the press. They lie continuously and now we have tens of millions who are brainwashed by it.

    I agree. Fox News and other right wing media dedicated to misinformation is a serious issue.

    Right, and let me guess. CNN, MSNBC, etc are the “truth-tellers”.

    Death threats are okay with you, then? Publicly announced, in front of group?

    Sorry, I'm feeling confusing-post-phobic today, so can't respond to your 'yes'. I'm also feeling quite no-coffee-phobic, so have to go grab a cup.

    They have higher ratings for verifiability than fox news yes.

    I don't even want to know why you think that. Go grab your cup of coffee, I'll wait for the hyperbole to die down.

    You're pathologising life, if you need to add 'phobic' to every utterance of human preference.

    Good thing the only one doing that is the strawman you're trying to create and maintain.

    I don't use 'phobic', so not my straw-non-binary.

    Meantime, outlawing public death threats is entirely reasonable, and proper.

    Is that why their ratings are in the toilet?

    Misinformation sells. This is why we need a government to intercede and prevent the market from determining what is true.

    Yes, when conservatives overtake government next year you’ll faithfully do what you’re told.

    So in other words, ban Fox News at all costs, and let CNN and MSNBC run rampant. Gotcha. Lol

    Literally laughable man.
