All newspapers in the Western world ought to run these cartoons. Just to show our dear friends that the pen is mightier than the suicide vest. >>>http://i1.tinypic.com/n3b6gy.jpg >> [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Just to show our dear friends that the pen is mightier than the > suicide vest. History is written by the conqueror. I'd like to see Bush's face and his fundamentalist Christian cronies if the papers started posting "amusing" cartoons about Jesus and the Virgin Mary, I wonder how the "free press" would get away with that then. I detest Bush and the Religous Right but I doubt that they'd incite their fellow fundamentalist christians to murder the cartoonist in question. But I'm sure you actually knew that the moral equivalence you're drawing here between Islamists and Christian Fundamentalists is absurd. You're just grasping at straws trying to find excuses for Muslim atrocities.. But do you really think that appeasing the Islamists will make them hate you less? > I detest Bush and the Religous Right but I doubt that they'd incite > their [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > But do you really think that appeasing the Islamists > will make them hate you less? I don't try to appease any religious extremists, from whatever faith. I don't find Christian Fundamentalists any less dangerous than Muslim fundamentalists for that matter, or any other religious fundamentalists, they can all go to hell (not that I believe in hell either) as far as I'm concerned. As far as moral equivalence, don't make me laugh, I find no morals in any religious fanatics. I don't find Christian Fundamentalists any less dangerous than Muslim fundamentalists for that matter, ======================== Really? We better start guarding our subways and airports against Christian suicide bombers then!. And brace for beheadings in the Bible belt. PS: Moral equivalence doesnt imply high morals. > I don't find Christian Fundamentalists any less dangerous than Muslim > fundamentalists for that matter, [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > PS: Moral equivalence doesnt imply high morals. Yeah, protect the abortion clinics, protect anyone who owns the oil that you want, protect women, protect ethnic minorities, in fact protect the whole world, need I go on. >> I don't find Christian Fundamentalists any less dangerous than Muslim >> fundamentalists for that matter, [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > that you want, protect women, protect ethnic minorities, in fact > protect the whole world, need I go on. If this was a perfect world there would be no need to worry about those things but it is not by a long shot but subjects both of you are describing can't be debated without emotion clouding your responses and all it is going to lead to is a bunch of BS response and a flaming war which we don't need out here I agree, I was thinking earlier that it's not the right place for this sort of discussion.

I don't understand this comment at all, so yes, could you go on? :) Joyce >I don't find Christian Fundamentalists any less dangerous than Muslim > fundamentalists for that matter, [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > PS: Moral equivalence doesnt imply high morals. oh no, we don't suicide bomb....we send large armies and warheads and kill women and children just because a terrorist leader might perhaps have been somewhere in the vicinity sometime in the last week or so. > I detest Bush and the Religous Right but I doubt that they'd incite > their [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > But do you really think that appeasing the Islamists > will make them hate you less? You are clearly bigoted, therefore not worth arguing with.

It's done all the time -- by cartoonists and by stand-up comics. Cartoonists and comedians are not *supposed* to be reverent -- or even politically correct. It's their job to lampoon everybody, and particularly anybody who gets so full of himself that he thinks his beliefs ought to be exempt. SignatureWayne M (indulged by Will and Heidi) > http://i1.tinypic.com/n3b6gy.jpg That's what all the fuss is about? There have been "jokes" about the lack of suitable rewards for martyr's as long as there have been martyrs. Not to say it isn't likely offensive and in extremely poor taste, but for crying out loud, it isn't even faintly original.

SignatureCheryl >> Freedom of Speech in the USA is a great thing that comes with great >> consequences > > What does that have to do with a Danish cartoon? Read the rest of the post and you can figure it out :-) > Read the rest of the post and you can figure it out :-) Not really. The rest of the post was a general comment on the cartoons (which to my mind suffer major failings as cartoons - they aren't funny or original or interesting). It's being claimed a free speech issue, certainly, but surely it's a Danish free speech issue, not an American one? And a free speech issue in the various European countries which picked up the story - at least it is not an American issue until some US news group reprints them. Anyway, the whole thing is a really poor example of championing free speech. Some of those media outlets are essentially saying 'I'm going to demonstrate my right to free speech by being offensive'. That's an approach I find extremely tedious, not to mention suspect. There seems no particular reason to bother digging up those cartoons and making them into an Issue like some news organizations are doing unless they want to make money off it or something. It's not like they are news - the cartoons were printed last fall AFAIK. SignatureCheryl First, suicide bombers are not martyrs. Thet're murderous psychopats. Second, cartoons are supposed to be funny and irreverent.The people who got offended are insecure morons with no sense of humor. First, suicide bombers are not martyrs. Thet're murderous psychopats.
