In reply to the discussion: 'Islam no longer religion of peace' Muslim Charlie Hebdo journalist hits out at extremists [View all]guillaumeb
(42,649 posts)67. What you said in post 24:
What I object to is the immediate response whenever the Charlie Hebdo murders are mentioned...
of how offended someone was by some cartoons they published.
Murder is NEVER an acceptable response to being offended. NEVER.
of how offended someone was by some cartoons they published.
Murder is NEVER an acceptable response to being offended. NEVER.
I then asked who made such a statement.
You responded in your #50 that
"You did, in your very first post on this thread."
Your closing statement was not made in response to someone here stating or implying that murder IS an acceptable response. You simply referenced murder so you could argue against a response that no one had made.
So in light of the fact that no one suggested that murder WAS an acceptable response, why bring it up at all?
And your title, suggests that I DID make the contention that murder is an acceptable response. More building with straw.

The cartoonists of Charlie Hebdo practiced their own brand of racism and hate.

My bet is Sam Harris. The tone is too moderate for Geller's type of hate. eom

Again, that same old confusion? A poor diversion from the quantification of Islam's violence

My evidence is the large number of people - Muslims, ex-Muslims, non-Muslims who report so.

Why did you immediately bring up that people were offended by the cartoons?

I fully understand what trotsky was saying before he spelled it out to you step by step

The fact you do not understand gallows humor does not prove anything about Charlie Hebdo

But it was using a specific story from that month about Boko Haram holding girls/women

Nice points, and I agree that your first point about this one specific cartoon is correct.

You do know that those cartoons were satirizing the racism of France, right?

It's a play on words. The cartoonist is saying religions claim they are 'untouchable'
