For once; the blond harpy is making sense.
The reason? Just what I posted last night. Making fun of someone’s religion is just fucking wrong. It is just as wrong as the idiots who threatened south park’s creators.
It’s a collectivist mindset. You know; “Oh! Them “rag heads” flew them planes into the trade center! So ALL Muslims and Arabs are terrorists! Right??! Right???”
Uh, No. Most American Muslims are peaceful people.
The point is folks, if you want to get your Pamela Geller and Debbie Schlussel on; go for it. But when you are branded a fucking bigot for it, please, do not cry about it. Because quite frankly, you deserve the fucking title.
…and before anyone says anything; I admit, in the past, I have written some things on here that would give a liberal a knee jerk reaction; I’m good at such stuff. Further more, I will admit, I am highly suspicious of Muslims, mostly due to Muslims in this area, who have ties to extremism. But to go off and mock Muslims in General is just plain bigotry. It is no better than someone mocking a Jew or a Catholic. Both of which are protected classes in the Country. So, why single out a group of people, of whom extremists have hijacked thier religion to fulfill their mentally deranged dreams?
Further more, anyone that thinks that the attacks on 9/11 gave anyone license to be a fucking bigot; is crazy. You wouldn’t mock blacks like that… so why mock Muslims? Not only that, does that not make you as bad as the 9/11 hijackers? They were bigoted towards America and our values —- now, do you want to be just like them?
Like it nor not; I do have a point.
That is all.

No one is ridiculing Islam as such–they are ridiculing the notion that an aspect of a religion can be used as a too to control non-adherents.
Threats of violence cannot be tolerated in anything resembling a civilization, any more than a bully on the schoolyard.
True, and I understand the argument.
The problem is, that some will use this as a excuse to mock a Religion and culture that they either don’t understand or worse hate.
To me, that is on par with the White Nationalist’s mocking of the Black race.
Even if people take this opportunity to ridicule Muslims, that is a right that is also extended to Muslims themselves.
And some may even use the occasion to express racist or bigoted views. But then how is that different than any ordinary day for them? I don’t know if you’ve been online lately, but it seems they take EVERY opportunity to express those views.
Also, as unfortunate as it is to have racist jackasses in the world, it’s interesting to point out that they too are protected under the first amendment.
What’s not protected is murdering someone over make-believe religious rules.
Fair Point. Thanks.
