Seems you're mistaking defending Charlie Hebdo's right to write or draw whatever they like for agreeing with everything they've ever said or done. [quote][i]Originally posted by MoesTavern[/i] That's not freedom to mock any religion, that's intentional persecution.[/quote]And the two are mutually exclusive? What you said was: "The freedom to mock any religion idea [i]would[/i] be fine [i]if[/i] Charlie Hebdo hadn't specifically targeted Islam for the majority of their stuff." So you're saying they should have been censored? Again, I don't think you understand what free speech is or what this whole thing is about. Your focus on what Charlie Hebdo have put in their magazine in the past is more or less completely irrelevant to this whole story. The fact is they were killed for making funny cartoons. [/quote] Not at all, the cartoonists at Charlie Hebdo should be allowed to express themselves without being murdered. But freedom of expression does not mean freedom from the consequences of it. The outpouring of grief over their murders does not make their previous output "irrelevant" They were killed for making cartoons that were offensive, racist and bigoted (Also frequently sexist and homophobic). The fact that you don't personally find them offensive is by the by, surely? [/quote] At the end of the day you are free to believe what you will, however why not spend more time thinking about why what you believe in is actually a load of made up bullshit, no better than believing in father Christmas.
