Wishing Those In Paris Well

[Trepanated]

Free Society never means a Wild Society in which one can do what ever one wants. If one has genuine respect of others feelings, they would not come up with such illogical concepts of mocking someone's faith.

What any one would like to prove by mocking any religion or faith? Could you elaborate on the usefulness of making such cartoons other than making money by banking on peoples feelings?

So it's wrong to say something you don't like - but it's OK to murder a dozen people because you didn't like something they said?

The problem with the world today is the simpletons have outweighed the educated on a very large scale.

Why isn't it fine to mock religions just as it's fine to mock what politicians, movie stars, sportsman, etc etc believe and think about anything. Why should religion stand above everything else ? Part of living in a free country with free speech should mean being able to question everything, sometimes using humour.

Atheists are hated in many countries just because they don't believe in magic and superstition but you don't see extremist atheists killing indiscriminately in the name of atheism.

A question: If religion is good, why aren't religious extremists extremely good ??

My heart goes out to all effected in France.

You my friend is a moron, you think that justify killing 12 people, and maiming others, didn't koran this moron reads say you can't kill your fellow believer, and you will be sent to hell if you do (one of the 12 that died is a muslim), this coward pick and choose their script, but never follow what the koran itself says to the core.

I hope they get caught real soon, please just let me have a day with them, to pull their limbs one by one.

I am not a Muslim and i have not read Quran. But you are really dumb to assume that mocking someones faith is just diversity of opinion. If you do not believe in any religion or faith, you are free to do so. But making public pictures and showing such shamelessness does not show anything more than sheer barbaric act.

Welp, this thread is clearly turning into a religious kind of discussion. I demand your assistant Mods.

Because the termology is wrong in my opinion. A religious extremist to me sounds like someone who just prays really hard. Violent psychopaths is what it is, whether religion is the "motive" or not.

Please read about Charlie Hebdo before commenting. They have a history of making such controversy and banking on it.

Is it OK to ridicule someones faith just to provoke people to make more customers by making controversy?

And for your kind information, this magazine Charlie Hebdo had been ridiculing both Christianity and Islam. It has been sued 13 times by catholic institutions.

They didnt mock anyone. Try to look at their work from a different angle. Have you ever dealt with logos? As you probably know logo is a complex idea put into a simple picture. In the same fashion their cartoons were a complex real world problems put into a simple picture. This is called journalism. Free world journalism as it should be.

Am not muslim either, I was born a christian, I grew up learning about muslim religion, christianity, all i know is all religion teaches about peace, even when your religion is being condemn.

Christian faith get mocked all the time, you don't see anyone making biggy over it, I have friends who are muslim, who will see cartoon like that and won't bat an eye lid, and won't go all their way to kill in the name of Allah.

Go away man, all religion get ridiculed one way or the other, does that justify killing and maiming people for it? do you think other peaceful muslim people shares your view? more or less you saying the journalist brought it upon themselves, that they deserve to die? because that's seem to be your tone.

Oh, so drawing some pictures is barbaric, but killing 12 people is not?

 

[mickyfu]

Anyone who is offended by a cartoon picture, really is lacking something in their head.

 

[srb888]

Although what happened was really bad, still my opinion is that no one should make fun of anyone's faith. Faith is one's very personal belonging which lasts a lifetime. It's like abusing someone's mother or father... the son/daughter will retaliate with all might. Anyway, RIP those who lost their lives, needlessly too. Let there be permanent peace on earth... it is almost impossible but not entirely so that it can be turned back and made stable and stronger, and even from this level of total madness/brutality.

 

[kumbhak11]

Anyone who thinks that making contempt of someone's faith is just FREEDOM of expression needs to be make civilized by teaching the difference between freedom of animals and freedom of humans.

 

[kumbhak11]

I cannot reply when people lack comprehension skills. I never stated that killing 12 people is not barbaric. My simple point is that there is no need to be biased on making those killed to be treated as Victims even by knowing that they have been doing that for long to make controversy and bank on peoples feelings.

See what these so called VICTIMS used to publish in the name of FREEDOM of EXPRESSION.

 

[Kennyg]

I and many are offended by the teachings of some religions ! So by some of the reasoning in this thread, those religions should not be allowed ? Yes ?

 

[surfbay]

I was looking at their work. They made fun of the crucifixion too which is upsetting to Christians. No one deserved to die and what happened is still horrible. But I can't help but wonder why anyone would risk their lives by making fun of people's Gods for a living. It was an accident waiting to happen. I'm just being honest. You couldn't pay me all the money in the world to do that for a living.

If You Play With Fire . . . You Will Get Burned.

No religion teaches anything that is offensive. It is usually the liberals who criticize religion because all religions prohibit Adultery, Drug Addiction etc which are really offensive to womanizers and drug addicts.

 

[mickyfu]

so called VICTIMS

So what you are suggesting is they deserved to be shot because of a cartoon picture? Oh and keep your religion crap to yourself, as some people get offended by the troubles in the world caused by your fairytale friends.

R.I.P those who lost their lives
