Regardless of whether the artists were "provoking" Muslims, I think most of us should agree that the gunmen choosing to respond to the provoking with murder is obviously the greater problem here.

Not a single one of us has used any slurs or condemned all Muslims as subhuman filth. Man up and accept you're wrong and you're victim blaming. People drawing a picture of some pedo do not deserve to be shot at no matter how "provocative" it is to the sensitive baby Muslims.

Liberalization takes a long time to happen coming from dirt-poor conditions. And all of the people ruling Saudi Arabia are of the old generations who were growing up 70 years ago when Saudi Arabia was still poor.Oil. And it's not just the people ruling Saudo Arabia, it's their sons and peoe from our generation who are rich and are extremely hardline.Yeah.But my point was that this region was extremely poor 90 years ago, and it takes a while to liberalize. Numerous reforms have already happened in Saudi Arabia.And yet women can't eat with forks because the men are such perverts they think of a cock entering the woman's mouth when she uses a fork. Saudi Arabia isn't even close to being socially equal.It's not, and I never said that.But there is some measure of progress.Whatever the fuck it is you're linking isn't opening for me. Not that I really care, Saudi Arabia is a shithole.

Hamas are worthless pieces of shit. And they are fueled by poverty and shit social conditions rather than Islam.Muslims. Hamas are a Muslim group. Palestine is poor because it's been fighting a losing battle for more than half a century. They're fueled by Muslim doctrine. That's why they think Israel should be destroyed.Israel's destruction is just bullshit rhetoric from Iran designed to appease their population so a second Iranian Revolution doesn't happen.Politics.Hamas is a political terrorist group fighting for political aims.While higher ups may not even be religious, the masses and foot soldiers most certainly are hardline Muslims. Islam is toxic. Get over it.And them even being hardline Muslims to begin with was motivated by destitute social conditions.Really, then why were they just as hardline throughout history? Why are the rich Saudis some of the most hardline Muslims in the Middle East?That bullshit about "destitute social and economic conditions" is just that. Bullshit. They're in dire straits because of their toxic religion which has them at a standstill and doesn't let them progress and civilize.Then how did the Arabian Peninsula end up turning from some dirt-poor backwater region 90 years ago into nearly first-world living standards?
