Charlie Hebdo to attack Muslims again

They should learn to not offend Muslims by making a caricature of prophet Mohammed. Today they know it will create tension, but they don't care.

You could flip it.
Something like...
'They should learn not to offend the French people by shooting them dead for their literature. Today, they know shooting people dead will create tension, but they don't care.'

Why does a spiritual belief get precedence over a belief around freedom of speech?

Don't get me wrong, I think Charlie Hedbo were being rude. But that shouldn't be a death sentence, and you should be allowed to be rude.

Probably they were, I didn't see the depiction. But still, telling others to follow Islam is rude.

...They call it "respect" that you follow their religion. That's how rude people think.

1: yes it should be illegal to joke about others religious belief.

Why?

2: in this case it was the drawing that created the unfortunately killing and of course killing is wrong

This is like saying that the flirting women in the sexy dress created the unfortunate rape.


Those who did the killing should get their time in prision

So in your fantasy world where cracking jokes about a religion is illegal, what do you feel would be an appropriate punishment for doing it anyway?

What, for example, do you feel should be the punishment for all the people that worked on Monty Python: The life of Brian?

When will this ****ty "satire" magazine stop harasment of the Prophet Muhammad?
Again they are planning to re publication of the idiotic drawings from 2015. Did they not learn anything last time?
Their satires and parodies of Islam ─ at least, the two or three pages I saw ─ were crude, entirely juvenile and lacking in wit, sting or point. They were rubbish.

Even less reason, then, to murder them. But murder them they did.

You can not blame all Muslims for what a few did

I only speak of how "humor" should not be used to depict religion.
I don't care about money python

An astounding 2% of the Bible verses are violent crap

I use common sense and only use loving verses (so I use maybe 2 verses from the Bible; that's plenty for me, no need to know more). I think it is even unwise to read the violent verses, as it might infect you with crap thoughts, how else they...

Interesting and useful poll would be 'How many':
1) Christians read violent verses
2) Christians believe Bible violence can be used, as it is God's word
3) Christians promote violent verses
4) Christians believe those are God's violent words
5) Christians think it's still applicable/useful now
*) And do the same to Muslims/Koran

I think in percentage it might be similar, low
I think in real numbers there will be a difference

I thought it was more but i don't have statistics, its just from my reading of the bible.

Interestingly the Bible is about twice as violent as the Qur'an

Or maybe they're winding up the country towards serious trouble. It's provocative, it's a deliberate act to upset a minority and increase unrest, imo.

You know that wouldn't be allowed where I live. It's filthy.

I actually think its a political statement in search of justice and recognition of those murdered in cold blood. The day following publication, the terrorists co-conspirators trial began in Paris.

I don't, Christine.
The Trial seeks justice and recognition for those murdered. That mag just feeds off it with filth.
Because some Muslims were mass murderers, why upset thousands of innocent Muslims?

In 07/07/05 my daughter got off the bus and ran to the Lister Hospital to work. Because she ran she lived. The same bus blew up 50-70 yards behind her as she approached Russel square. Do you think she hates all Muslims? Many of her colleagues were Muslims back then.
Mags that fling muck at whole religions and races are scummy, imo.

Does that make the Kitab-i-Aqdas 4 times as violent as both the Quran and the Bible..?
