Nothing positive can come out of being against insulting other people's faith tradition, or insulting ideas in general.
It's just ideas. You're free to have them and express them, everyone else is free to agree with them or ridicule them.
Ridiculing ideas is a victimless crime and the foundation of freedom.
- DanBC 12y ago> Ridiculing ideas is a victimless crime Propaganda using cartoons has been used at all levels of oppression from small groups targeting Others to genocide. Don't make the mistake of thinking that a cartoon is not an act of violence - because they can be. (Just for clarity: this does not mean they should be banned)
- zak_mc_kracken 12y agoThat's not saying much, though: everything can be considered an act of violence when interpreted by twisted minds. You can get assaulted just for merely looking at someone's wife. I am just shocked to hear a CNN representative say that we should find ways to avoid offending people with words: this is not just a futile endeavor, it's a very dangerous one that leads to thought police and arbitrary sentences.
