HN has an incredibly liberal slant, see the front page since Edward Snowden started leaking documents. I don't think the the "average" opinion would be that someone isn't welcome here because they pissed someone off. Look at all the snark that gets thrown around.
- moubarak 13y agooffending a religion for no reason is not equal to pissing someone off. i doubt you will be responsible for any judgement with that level of intellect.
- peterjancelis 13y agoOffending a religion is just pissing a bunch of people off. So instead of one person that needs to grow up its a whole bunch of them. Difference in degree, not in kind.
- moubarak 13y agoyour value of a bunch of people is amazing.
- peterjancelis 13y agoYou really should learn how free and open societies work. Here's Hans Teeuwen, dutch comedian, explaining it to a few of your fellow muslims: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNBnZsbAWGo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNBnZsbAWGo (English subtitles are available, click on 'captions' option.)
- moubarak 13y agofree and open, thats comedy by itself. you are the comedian sir.
- alan_cx 13y agoOffence is taken, not given. Religious people choose to take offence. They literally don't have to take offence if they don't want to. In doing so, they validate who ever they chose to be offended by, which ironically weakens their religion and themselves personally.
- moubarak 13y agoa synonym to offense is attack. an attack is taken not given doesnt make sense.
