Because anything can be sacred to anybody, so we won't be able to discuss anything. When something is sacred to somebody it applies only to them not to non follower of these made up laws. Caving to that would be accepting de facto sharia law. You can't hide behind sacred. You can't censor something just because you are offended. This is basic free speech.
Religions are not exempt from criticism. Religious nutjobs deserve every bit of mockery and disrespect. These terrorists are the caricature.

- pouetpouet 12y agoNo. I am very serious. Religious fundamentalists should be mocked and ridiculed. I find it very offensive that you would suggest otherwise. See? Different things can be really offensive to different people. Religious people don't have the monopoly on being offended nor on truth. If I turn the TV on, I will hear many offensive things. But first, I get over it. And second I don't claim that it should be illegal to express their view. Yet you do. You are out of your mind.
- _almosnow 12y ago>Religious fundamentalists should be mocked and ridiculed. You are saying that a group of people with different beliefs than yours should be (_SHOULD_, as in, "we as a society have to") mocked and ridiculed? You are a sick person, dude; not much different than the guys that made the news.
- pouetpouet 12y agoYou are interpreting. That's on you. An enlightened society should aim to peacefully put aside religious fundamentalism. That's obviously a personal opinion as everyone can have a different idea of what's enlightened. People have a liberty of conscience and I respect that, if some people embrace fundamentalism, it saddens me but it's within their rights, as it's my right to find it ridiculous. I don't go and shoot them, I don't condone violence and I don't want them banned in the limits of hate speech. If some cartoonists decide to draw to mock and ridicule, good for them, they have every right to do so. I was not a reader of Charlie Hebdo. You find some of their drawing distastful too? So what? You don't have a right not to be offended, not to be exposed to distasteful content. People that want satire banned sure can't call themselves moderates. > You are a sick person, dude; not much different than the guys that made the news. Now you are being unreasonnable. It's so despicable that you can draw that parallel. You are way out of line. When you suggests that maybe these cartoons shouldn't be legal. YOU are the one siding with terrorists.
