Re: Paris: Charlie Hebdo shooting
That is a straw man my friend. You have no idea what satire is... you need to read up on it.
And that's the message in France: if you're unable to laugh at yourself and you feel the urge to react violently if anyone does laugh at you... gtfo. You're in the wrong country. And if you don't want to gtfo, we will kick you out.
All the Islamic leaders here and all the Muslim people i know have called these guys barbaric and actually enjoy satire... even if it's at their expense. So this has nothing to do about the religion. It's about a segment of people who have a radical way of thinking and who want to take the law into their own hands. It has no place in France.

Honestly the "they should have known better" argument is disgusting. No one deserves to die for drawing or saying something offensive. If the jihadists don't like the satire they should respond with a satire of their own.

Yeah, I'm with BC and sportscy on this one, it really can't be that we live in a world where I have no fear writing that Jesus sucks dick in hell, and am reasonably afraid to say the same about a certain other prophet.

how was anything I just said a straw man.
I approve of Satire. I should correct myself.. It isn't a "no go area" - I just mean the ramifications need to be at least considered and no one should act surprised if those potential ramifications are realised.
Seeing posters of Muhammad or my mother for that matter, would not offend me to the point of violence personally.
Sigh.. again people, this isn't about the world you want to live in or I want to live in. I would love to live in a world where people don't get murdered period too. I also think you will struggle to make a joke that will offend me to anything close to the point of anger.
I am not saying Charlie Hedbo deserved it. I am not saying that it was justified. Re read posts please and don't misconstrue.

Obviously this was not deserved and cannot be justified by blaming the writers. Nevertheless, I think the discussion following an event like this should be around combating extremism, integrating Muslims into society (keep in mind most people that do things like this, Muslim or otherwise, often feel isolated), and also stopping hate speech. The things in this magazine do not fall under freedom of speech because they were not legitimately expressing an opinion, they were meant only to incite hatred.

Jihad has lost its meaning with the so-called 'Muslims' that use Islam to kill and murder rape.
What's it's true meaning then? (genuine question)
Jihad means 'struggle' in arabic, in the religious sense, jihad has many meanings. It can refer to internal as well as external efforts to be a good Muslims, as well as working to inform people about the faith of Islam. Jihad is not a violent concept,
its not a declaration of war against other religions. It is worth noting that the Quran specifically refers to Jews and Christians as "people of the book" who should be protected and respected. All three faiths worship the same God. Allah is just the Arabic word for God, and is used by Christian Arabs as well as Muslims.

I see. And how can anyone go from that to what they do?? Is the text THAT open to interpretation , or is it people just read what they like . Because , from what i read here and what Jihadists do, i see day and night. Probably a bigger difference.
I see struggle as you say , but that is struggle to exist and survive above anything else that isn't their religion. Working to inform people according to what the Jihadists do and say seems like working to show it's supposed power , which extremists represent through unspeakable acts , with the worst crimes. I could go on but anyway , you get the point , if that's Jihad you said there , then people must be reading something entirely different or i don't know what .
I always thought Jihad was religious war. Something like 'us' v infidels(people who believe something different) .

Incite hatred? I really don't think so . It was satire and critique .
But really now ? It doesn't matter why they did it , it seriously doesn't . They didn't deserve any of this. Even if they trully wanted to incite hatred and only that , they still didn't deserve any of this anyway. There's no excuse , nothing. They are free to do so if they want , they didn't shove it down anyone's face. Didn't send e-mails to any Muslim to witness it. Their reasons , are almost irrelevant to bring up in this matter. They were murdered .
I would also like to add at this point . I remember being religious . And i remember how i was offended by this or that when i believed , up untill i was a teenager . Don't think i don't understand how it feels when someone mocks your dearest beliefs . Nevertheless , they have every right to mock if that's what they want to do and it shouldn't be different. The people in France want to live their lives freely and as they like , whatever and for whatever reasons the cartoonists may have done what they did , it wasn't anyone's concern's outside of France .Even inside of France , agreed or didn't , laughed or didn't , hated it or didn't , that's not something excusable by any stretch of logic , or reason .
Once again , it has to do with freedom. Before anything else.

Interesting area of research.
From Wiki: There are large regional differences in the percentage of OCD patients who have religious obsessions or compulsions, ranging from 0–7% in countries like the U.K. and Singapore, to 40–60% in traditional Muslim and orthodox Jewish populations.[7]

You have to keep in mind that these texts are over a 1000 years old, scholars today are still drawing deviations of interpretations from the text.
'Jihad' can also be translated to 'holy war' or 'holy struggle' but in a purely linguistic sense, the word means struggling or striving.
These animals that fight and cause wars, are twisting and tearing the words to fit their motives, whatever that may be. I refuse to recognize them as Muslims, and so do others.
'Jihad' doesn't mean show supposed power, its not join Islam or die. If you feel like Islam is a religion that empowers you or restores some faith to you then you can become a muslim, if not, well then thats fine. No force is needed.

Yeah I'm not intending to discuss how you should moderate I'm just asking a question, as well as it has some relevance to the freedom of speech stuff, which I presume we actually don't have on this website based on the guidelines.

It wouldn't surprise me if there's connection. When I read about Islam some of the behaviours taught, such as walking into a bathroom left foot first and leaving right foot first, seemed to chime with OCD compulsions.

I get you . Sadly there's no reasoning with people who go on to murder for any reason , let alone in the name of religion and old texts. On the other hand , i've read stuff from Islam that clearly talk against infidels . Whilst in religion i've learned that almost everything is open to interpretation and whilst i am uncomfortable of pointing fingers without having read the Koran 100% , at least in an accepted translation , i find it a bit hard to believe they don't find any basis for the things they do . All the abrahamic religions have severely outdated doctrines inside them.
Having read the the Bible , both old and new , i must say there are clearly things in there that frankly have no place today. And i ask , do these parasites follow their holy book to the core , to the last word? Cause that would explain a lot. Having said that , i realise full well what you mean by , I refuse to recognize them as Muslims, and so do others . I really do . It hasn't even to do with just Muslims , there are many honestly moral and good persons in this world who believe and they don't count others as the same with them , they lead different lives and have different minds(*edit) , being Muslims/Christians only in name .
In any case , nobody should be blaming or even involving ordinary muslims for things these parasites have done.

Yes, there are many of these types of nuances. Some of them actually have shown to have some form of benefit, be it hygienically or otherwise... but there are still plenty of nuances, like the left foot first one, that I can't see as having any reasonable rationale behind them.
They all come from Hadith (ie not the "word of God" but actions of Muhammad, according to ~300 years worth of word of mouth).
If you are teaching a child from an early age that its really important that you enter a room with your left foot first.. I would say that is certainly encouraging OCD behaviours.

Peccadillo wrote:Sorry but some things are a no go area. You can't prod a tiger with a stick and expect not to get bit.
There are laws in many countries, including Australia (Shed), where inciting hatred is punishable by law - this is for good reason. Shed you should check your own countries legal system, there is something called the Australian Racial Discrimination Act. But yes I agree it is not harsh enough.
It may be a joke, but when it is clearly there to push buttons and fuelling an already turbulent situation, then really you shouldn't do it.
Being an Australian you will remember the Cronulla Riots, where Alan Jones, a popular radio DJ, was encouraging locals to go down to Cronulla to kick the Lebanese (muslims) out of the beach. Reading out the following text message that was going around, and not opposing to it - "Come to Cronulla this weekend to take revenge. This Sunday every Aussie in the Shire get down to North Cronulla to support the Leb and wog bashing day …"
Violence ensued where anyone of brown complexion in the vicinity of Cronulla beach were brutally bashed, two school kids were hospitalised as they arrived to Cronulla on the train after being beaten by about 50 men, thousands of white Australians roamed the streets yelling such digressions as "f off wogs" and nationalistic insanity hit an all time low.
Alan Jones got a slap on the wrist after he was eventually recognised for being "out of line". Although this is not a joke, it was still Alan Jones exercising what you believe to be his right to freedom of speech, therefore I don't see the difference. The fact something is intended to be humorous does not give it impunity.
So if you really believe that facilitating pure "freedom of speech" is wise and the best thing for society then you really are blind to reality.
No one agrees that people deserve to be murdered for making a joke, no matter how insensitive - clearly the punishment does not fit the crime. All people are saying is that Charlie Hedbo were pushing buttons and they would have known it. People enjoy it much like school children enjoy making inappropriate naughty jokes, irrespective of how it affects others, this can even be manifested into schoolyard bullying, which can contribute to suicide and even rarely, massacres.
This is fine amongst friends, but in a public domain you have a social responsibility.
As for your comparison to a woman who doesn't deserve to be raped for wearing a short skirt - undisputable. But more this is more like waving your privates in front of a convicted rapist and saying hello sailor.
Sorry you've put so much time into 90% of this but I'm an American The flag (which is New Zealand's, by the way...) is just a joke between Kick and me.

There are certainly verses in the Quran that speak of violence against non believers, something which has been frequently pointed out and criticized, but considering the context (the verses in question were revealed in the middle of a war and were in reference to when fighting was allowed) no one with half a brain would consider it to justify what some people have done.
It's like if I tell you, "Avoid violence, but if someone attacks you then you're allowed to fight them" and the only thing you take away and repeatedly quote is "fight them"
I understand your skepticism (where did they get their ideas from then?) but it's important to note many terrorists haven't even read the Quran, they get most of their info from books written by other radicals.

Agreed is such a loose word here, made to accept is more like it, i don't see why mods and admins are above public criticism.
