Today: Everybody Draw Mohammed Day!

I think your against it because it might ‘offend’ people (Muslims). But, why your forgetting is that they are not trying to offend Muslims rather Islam or Mohamed. If Muslims get offended in the process, why should it matter? Nobody has the right not to be offended. If people want to draw Mohamed in a derogatory manner than let them, you and I he was no Mother Teresa. The organisation of the event means more publicity. This will result in extremist getting aware of this. The extremist can’t punish everyone who participates, therefore the message that will be delivered is clear, “don’t **** with our shows or nations and we won’t **** with your prophet or religion”.

And what does that mean? I am prejudiced towards Islam? I am scared of Islam? Of course, I will be. I don’t know why this word is being used like it means a lot, it like labour or conservative coming up with a word that means you are scared of their beliefs or are prejudiced against their beliefs.

You really think anti-semitism is a good thing?

You really think anti-semitism is a good thing?

Tbh, the way I see it, it's more the principle than the actual drawing of mohammed. And I think it does need to be organised - it is like a petition or a protest - if there are thousands of protesters in the same place they are more likely to be noticed than if it is one in every town, for example. And yes, I am anti-Islamic, as I feel that religion does not have a place in today's society, where everyone should have equality, no matter what their sexual orientation or gender (which are the main points of religion I disagree with). However, I respect people's rights to believe what they want, even if I don't agree with it. Unfortunately, in this case, it seems to be a one way street.

So its ok if a racist offends a coloured person or a jew is offended by some sick holocaust denial joke just for ''free speech''

Why, though? Islam is a belief, it has the right to be criticised. No one gets angry when you criticise Mormonism who believe that being black is a sin, why get angry when you criticise Islam who believe women can't go to different countries without a relative escort or apostasies are killed? Not everyone agrees with it, therefore people have the right to express their feelings towards it.

That's leaning towards racism, it's different.

No. But, the coloured person has the right to be offended. Also, racism is not the same as prejudice or hatred to a BELIEF. Yes, I believe people should be able to be holocaust deniers. I am glad we don’t have any laws that make you silent your views. The holocaust was all victims. No of them deserved it. Mohamed isn’t a victim. He started a cult/religion. His religion has some sexism (women not being allowed to marry more than one men, women not being allowed to travel to different countries on their own) and even killed people because of the fact that they changed religions

Anti-semiitism and racism are not the same thing

No creation of pens or colors would match my ancestors likeliness. *yawns* A good way to freedom? Oh sure is after all one in every four on this planet is pleased.Such a great way to live in peace. Bravo noble price anyone ?

Anti-semiitism and racism are not the same thing

Yes, they are. Because anti-Semitism refers to prejudice towards Semites (ethnic group)

No actually no you are wrong, no one reserves the right to critcise any religion. Religion is religion, there's no two ways about it. If you're outside of that religion and you have no understanding of it, but merely read snippets here and there doesn't give you the right to start becoming a learned scholar and attaching your own critique upon it.

Mormonism is a religion and I will not criticise it, but it was not a religion that was descended through scriptures i.e. not from God. Any religion that advocates that being black is a sin, is no religion at all, but that's a discussion for another day.

It does not say women are not allowed to go to a different country without a male, it is not an obligation. Rather it is to safeguard her chastity and her well-being. You can't seriously criticise Islam for advocating the well-being of a woman. Indeed the religion is completely against violence, only in the last resort when peace cannot be obtained is violence necessary, to defend oneself.

Everyone has their own opinion, but that opinion is to be reserved when it comes to religion. Since you are not a muslim you have no right to criticise it. It does not affect your life in any shape or form.

P.S. Next time you use an example to criticise any religion, do make sure that it is coherent, because you're sounding like a right twerp to me, an Islamophobe to be precise.
