incubusslayer ::: Favorites what are you some kind of split personality? First you say it is appaling that ppl should not say things just because others may find it offensive and then you try to be the holy cow and say they shouldnt say offensive things just because they have the right! Well you can suck my balls retard...no wait! you'll prolly enjoy it so go suck you own balls. whats that? oh you dont have any! too bad. 07-10-19 23:49:50 __________________________________________________
cantaloupe42 ::: Favorites And you're right, just because you have the right to do something doesn't mean you should, but so what? Some people choose to do it anyways, and that doesn't mean they deserve death threats from brainwashed psychos, I don't give a shit how offended they are. Non-Muslims are not bound by Muslim laws. Oh and stick your petty name calling bullshit up your ass bud. 07-10-19 19:30:12 __________________________________________________
cantaloupe42 ::: Favorites Many did not just 'condemn the pictures', are you for real? Buildings were burned, death threats were made against an entire nation of people who had nothing to do with it, and over 100 people died in the ensuing chaos. Apologies were demanded and calls for the perpetrators to be punished (with death) were made. This is a measured response to you is it? 07-10-19 19:28:47 __________________________________________________
subach ::: Favorites I'm still waiting that great Islamic system to send people into space or produce scientific revolution like those poor democracies in the west. Or maybe start the Green revolution in agriculture that feeds 6 billion people today. Nope not happening. 07-10-19 18:48:32 __________________________________________________
stratvic ::: Favorites To have a successful democracy you must understand its weaknesses as well as its strength. Democracies weaknesses are many but tolerance and protection for minorities from the majority should be major concerns in any democratic society. 07-10-19 16:12:55 __________________________________________________
incubusslayer ::: Favorites Listen retard, they have the right to detest or condemn the pictures you draw and thats what they did. Let me out it this way it seeps through your thick skull someday. Just because you are within your rights, it doesnt mean you have to go around doing stuff that would hurt other people for no reason. These cartoons are an irresponsible act, insensitive to many moderate muslims around the world and should be condemned and thats all i have to say to your dumb arse. 07-10-19 12:38:01 __________________________________________________
cantaloupe42 ::: Favorites If you think that a secular democracy is obligated to censor its media for you, there's something wrong with you. Write letters to the editor or boycott it if you don't like it. But to suggest that they shouldn't even have the RIGHT to say it because you find it offensive is appalling. And nobody said that Muslims don't have the 'right to worship', wtf are you talking about? They just don't have the right to tell us what cartoons we're allowed to look at. 07-10-19 12:31:47 __________________________________________________
incubusslayer ::: Favorites ok i should hae substituted democratic with "secular". Its one thing for the coutry to be secular and another for its people to be so...secular as is respecting their right to worship and tolerance for other religions. and FYI there India has 160 million muslims and there has never been any "murderous threats" from them. Get your facts before you rant. Indian muslims are the most moderate and tolerant of the lot. 07-10-19 12:08:23 __________________________________________________
cantaloupe42 ::: Favorites Do you also condemn the psychotic behaviour and murderous threats of your 'Muslim countrymen'? Do you people really think the rest of the world is obligated to 'respect' you? 'Its one thing for the country to be democratic and another for its people to be so.' - What the hell is that supposed to mean? 07-10-19 11:58:19 __________________________________________________
BayerLexan ::: Favorites He's sure right about islam, I mean, just look at the beautiful way of life its crearted for those lucky few that get to live in the middle east. I'm sure envious of the islamic life, I guess I'll just have to suffer here with my freedom. 07-10-18 21:55:22 __________________________________________________
