There is a website that is actually called "the religion of peace."

It carries like articles
Stop Pretending Terrorism Has Nothing To Do With Islam

note the title is by David Harsanyi, it would probably help him if he used a quantifier like "sect of" or "Wahhabism."

As Bill Maher said last night, "With this many bad apples, something's wrong with the orchard."

Perfect and spot on. We're ultimately doomed if we can't get it even close to right after all of this time.

"The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people are so full of doubts." - Bertrand Russell

Well I walked outside with a group of people and we all carried candles.


That'll learn em.

fair enough, i honestly knew that democracy had its roots in greece and rome but i never thought much about freedom of speech. but i think we got a bit sidetracked from my initial point which was that free speech is hardly a universal value and if anything hasn't been the norm in most societies. and probably isn't in a lot of modern societies... i also come at this with the interpretation that even genuinely protecting free speech in the united states is fairly recent. even if it was written into the constitution. dissident speech could land you in prison during ww1. i think the level of free speech we have in unite states today is beyond that of ancient rome, greece and even the previous united states. so i really do think we're treading into new territory here

Nor did I accuse anyone in this thread of saying otherwise.

I think what just happened in France, proves that it can often be just as dangerous to speak out in a civilized society as it can be in a different cultural environment. And for the record, I did mention people speaking out in other parts of the world in my post.

Apologies. I thought you were implying that someone was since you brought it up (or echoed Vanilla's sentiments).

****, i will be straight up and say i think you're guilty of shifting the blame away from the murderers by going on about how you think the magazine should have been smarter and should have either shut up or armed themselves etc. basically what it boils down to, to me, is certain extremists have made it clear that if you attack islam with words and drawings they will attack you back with bullets and bombs. by saying we should be smart and not 'poke the bear' or that if we do we should have some sort of bear-proof vest on when poking it, you're basically caving in and giving them exactly what they want. you're making their violence useful and in that way you're actually encouraging them to continue to be violent. the only appropriate response to me when **** like this goes down is to stand your ground. any response other than a middle finger to bearded thugs world wide is honestly cowardice and treason to me.
