Dude, would you leave me the **** alone? I know enough and have read enough from and about Pam Geller to know exactly what she wants, what she believes, and the fact that her whole "I only hate jihadists" schtick is a ****ing lie.

I don't like you, and I really wish you'd stop bothering me.

I'm not American. My first impulse is to be thankful that the casualties were minimal and that I'm glad the idiots who turned up butt hurt can do no further damage. My second is to be grateful that I live in a Country where a "family day" would involve barbecues, outdoor cricket and other fun activities for the children. I certainly wouldn't be encouraging a member of my family to attend an event with me that offered a $10,000 prize for the best caricature of any religous figure.

Each to his own I guess. Different strokes for different folks.

Especially if they know that depicting that religious figure is seen as an insult. So it is not really a best goofball drawing of Mohammed contest, but a contest about "how many ways can I insult you and your faith, let me count the ways and pictures!!".

Now I am not saying that you should not draw Mohammed, I personally think it should be totally allowed, but to make a contest intended to enrage and insult is just in poor taste IMHO and not something that should be promoted.

You are not going to hold a contest with Jesus in gay porn scenes/pictures? That would be in very poor taste and an insult to all Christians. I would even protest that and I am not a Christian but an atheist. That would be in very poor taste. A few years back Madonna was using a big lighted up cross during her show and Christian parties here protested that even though that was almost a non-insult compared to this drawing contest.

Yes lets worry about the feelings of terrorists who are currently committing genocide against other people in the middle east, burning countless bibles and destroying religious sites sacred to other religions.

People do make "artwork", plays/musicals, tv shows and talk shows that mock religious people and many other things that are offensive to Christians. The Piss Christ, the 2000 year old virgin episode of family guy, The Book of Mormon play,homosexual social commentary in tv shows, and many other things that are offensive to Christians.
 
Re: Shooting at Muhammad Art Exhibit in Texas

Yes, they do, and mocking others' religions (or lack of faith) is ugly. But the responses to such offenses haven't been to attempt to kill those with whom we disagree. Being able to tolerate oppositional viewpoints is one mark of adulthood, and those who are calling for a jihad are very unevolved and childish.

Yes, why worry about the feelings of others when we can behave like morons/Muslim haters purely because there are some idiots in the Middle East who do bad things.

And there are more than just terrorists that live in that region or that can and will be offended by such depictions.

Mock religion is one thing. You can mock Mohammed without depicting him. And I said doing it in a relevant situation fine, but make a contest in offending someone's religion is in poor taste.

And homosexual social commentary is offensive to Christians? Really? I was not aware that everything gay is offensive to Christians but I guess Christian feelings are more important than Muslim feelings.

Your very existence is offensive to jihadi terrorists. But you choose to ignore that.

Well, you can always justify anything if you try hard enough. Guess what, that is exactly what a lot of Middle East/Muslims think, they are of the opinion that their existence (or their audacity to not have Jesus as their savior) is offensive and a crime in the eyes of the lord or should we say in the eyes of the Christian extremists.

The usual feeble attempt to search for a moral equivalence that doesn't exist. Can you inform me which Christian terrorist organisation is trying to exterminate muslims in the Middle East?

I am not talking about terrorists, the number of terrorists even in the Muslim world is just a fringe (and yes, the number of people who think that their actions is acceptable is much higher, I know that).

And if you are a Muslim ducking for cover from US drones or who had been occupied in Iraq, then maybe you would feel like that.

I cannot understand either position because I am an atheist and I do not understand why you would want to kill/fight someone from another religion.

Just a few weeks back I started a thread about ISIS being on the border and planning attacks in the US. The left told us repeatedly it was overhyped, etc.

And then this-we have the exact terrorist group that Obama called the "JV" team attacking Americans in the US for daring to speak.

Seriously, WTF is wrong this this President?
Click to expand...



I doubt me getting into what is wrong with Obama is going to be healthy for me.

It is the same as Benghazi.

The political mindset is that he has brought terrorism to its knees, the good guy has calmed them. Therefore it is not possible that A there could be something so ridiculous as an ISIS stronghold in Mexico. It simply isn't possible.

So the guys with guns who attacked can't be Muslim. It is as simple as that.

Notice that the White House is commenting on this and not the local police. Since when does the White House get involved and control the news on a shooting in Texas?

They were Islam. Unless the Boy Scouts of America have decided to start defending the rights of the prophet mohamed...

And what happened to that proposed Constitutional ban? Such actions are still protected and actually, the only correct way to dispose of an American flag is to burn it. Even the morons who are doing the Eric Sheppard challenge are protected by the 1st amendment.

Here's the bottom line. Pamela Geller supports the Constitution and the freedoms it guarantees us. Islamists have issued a fatwa calling her a pig because she's Jewish and calling for her to be murdered. And in the mind of the leftists, Geller is the problem. Gotta love liberal logic

As for this being Isis ? That wouldn't look to good Politically for the Democrats now would it ?

I noticed that myself watching the coverage. And it wasn't just CNN. They judged her and the event as if she had done something terribly wrong.

I guess when you control who gets to use their free speech rights, you control the debate. Control the debate, and you control how people think. Control how people think, and you control society.

After all, the easiest way to win an argument is to tape your opponent’s mouth shut.

Please list them.

Be sure to include a list of terrorist incidents like in Texas this week that have been perpetrate by "right wing terrorists" as opposed to survivalists and the other "ists' you have running around.


Now we know if there is even a response to this it will be some bull**** with not one reference or a diversion or a personal insult. The lefty out in America lie about everything.

No, in the "mind of the leftists," Geller is a bigoted asshole. NOBODY is saying she deserves terrorists attacking her.

She did.

She offended the prophet mohammed which is now bad. Obama said so.

The moral of all this is don't mess with Obama's faith.

Do you have an ounce of evidence the guys in this instance came in from Mexico?

We've known there have been ISIS-sympathetic people in the US for quite some time.
