Again I think your generalizing those people. Not everyone is targeting all muslims. Some are, but some aren't, just as some muslims want those cartoonists dead, and some muslims don't.
Okay, i'm not trying to be rude, but please put more effort into reading what you're responding to. What i said was addressing
your reasoning, the one you shared as justification for targeting an entire group despite a minority only being the ones who did anything. It was in response to this:
I think this is a matter of opinion. It is muslims who are the ones rioting and murdering others over this. Granted, its a minority of muslims, but its muslims who are doing it. So, targeting muslims is fine in my view, because muslims are the ones that have the problem with it.
So, i was addressing
your words, and your argument, about targeting Muslims as a whole. It was not however saying that all people involved in Draw Muhammad day had that as their purpose. I've already clarified that this is actually
against the argument i'm making, since if that were their goal then there wouldn't have been any 'mis-aim'.
Will they? I don't know. Why would most muslims care that much? You don't see most Christians going up in arms over Jesus being constantly made fun of in cartoon shows, sitcoms, movies, etc. And Jesus is made fun of way more than muhammad is.
We already know that Muslims are different in how they approach this. They don't depict Muhammad themselves. Regardless of what you or i think about that, that is whats actually the case. They
are different from most other religious groups in this regard.
Plus, Jesus is a prophet in Islam too, why don't muslims care about Jesus being made fun of? Isn't that a bit hypocritical?
I think 'bias' might be a more appropriate word, in which case, i'd agree.
I think the message is sent to everyone, not just those who reacted violently, but also to others who may react violently in the future or who just have a big problem with it. Everyone with access to the internet or a tv may hear about it, and the message is that those people have the right to draw religious figures if they want to.
You've already made a similar even wider argument of the message being sent to everyone in general. And i've already addressed that and clarified why it doesn't actually address my point.
I don't think so. Like I said, people generalize those kinds of things all the time. We can say, for instance, that Americans fought in Vietnam, and I think thats perfectly fine to say.
I've already clarified that its fine to say that.
What your saying is akin to saying that since not all Americans wanted to fight in the war, or that only a small percentage of Americans fought in the war, that its not appropriate to say that Americans fought in Vietnam because its not specific enough.
Nope, thats not what i said or am saying, and i've already clarified what i'm saying.
I simply think your wrong to think this.
And i think you're simply doing the best you can to misrepresent what i say and blur the issue.
But, if you want to get into specifics obviously the details can all be figured out,
There aren't a lot of details to this. I asked you specific questions, questions needing of specific answers, to which you replied with a generalized response. I clarified that
i am specifically looking for addressing this beyond the general approach, as that is where the entire point lays (which was clear from the start, as i've already shared and clarified that multiple times). Yet you continue to avoid stating the obvious as best as possible.
I think your just being too sensitive about saying muslims in this case.
Nope, just trying to have an honest, and accurate discussion (one that also has a purpose, which at this point, unfortunately doesn't seem to be the case).
