I'm concerned about the consequences that will come from this sort of rhetoric
Almost like I've been trying to say that from the begining. I swear half of you didn't read the first page. Same exact argument.
Quote from: Kupo on January 13, 2015, 11:09:12 AMI don't see how it isn't relevant. "Here's something to prove you're loyal, and we're going on a witch hunt against everyone who doesn't comply."Ignoring the fact that we have the moral high ground here, I still don't see how you can't find fault with people not honouring dead satirists in the face of senseless murder. I'd be saying the same if Jews refused to honour the dead after a mass murder like that of Baruch Goldstein's.

Quote from: Kupo on January 13, 2015, 11:28:09 AMI'm concerned about the consequences that will come from this sort of rhetoricThe very same kind of apologetics is used to try and justify the actions of such mass murdered. . ."Well, if they hadn't drawn the cartoons in the first place. . ."
Just a quick comment on the cartoon, I actually saw a comment on a website the other day that made sense. "How about instead of making fun of the religion, make fun of the terrorists and the fundamentalist extremists."
They have a right not to be silent and people have a right to criticize them for it.

They can refuse to stand, or speak during a minute's silence, all they like--but I won't sit idly by at such flagrant hypocrisy and moral insanity. You know, this is the same type of argument Conservatives use to bitch out people who won't stand for the Pledge of Allegiance/National Anthem over here. People have died. Still not really an excuse to stand for a minutes silence. A minute silence for remembering those that died in a war? Sure. But for 17 that died because of a terrorist attack? Eh not so much. People die everyday.Fuck yourself.
