It is your right, but is it always in good taste?

Who cares about good taste? If you don't like it, don't look at it.

No, but neither are the Kardashians. We just learn to accept the idea that there are people who have different beliefs, ideas and pleasures. The "pursuit of happiness' is the most insightful phrase in any constitution anywhere and from that we learn to tolerate others in their pursuit. It's a pain in the ass sometimes, but worth it.

Yes the Declaration of Independence is a beauty to behold.

But you could always say, or someone could, that it's not in good taste. That's the exact same thing the Mullah's say. So no, that's not a legitimate reason not to do it because nobody could ever publish anything if they had to worry about everyone's "taste".

I was chatting in general. No more no less than that. I was not referring to freedoms.

Yes you are. They're the same thing.

You don't have to be an Arab to be a Muslim. You really didn't know that?

There are tons of people who are Muslim who aren't Middle-Eastern, in fact, there are tons of black people who are Muslims. There are tons of Middle-Eastern people who aren't Muslim. Come on, surely you've figured that out by now.

So which is it? Islamophobia or racism? You seem to know more than I do, so you make the call. ("Neither" is not an acceptable answer.)

Someone's been reading too much propaganda.. Just wow. Talk about "political race screamer"..
 
Children have to be born in a hospital that has to report to the state. Reproductive rights are much closer to legal conditions of Prohibition, but worse. You can nominally ban it, but it just becomes like drugs or prostitution. Containable to certain neighborhoods but still a billion dollar industry nonetheless.

1. A person who intends to commit infanticide could have their kids outside a hospital.

2. Yes it can be done underground, but so can heroin sales.

WTF are you talking about. lol "muslim conservatives" aren't even in the same ballpark as american conservatives....

Correct. Muslim conservatives are generally the real thing. Most American conservatives are just liberals who aren't quite as liberal as some of the other liberals.

I asked you a question. Man up and answer it.

I do at times.

Then you don't have to do anything not in your subjective good taste. You have no power over anyone else.

It's neither, it's a wholly justified dislike of animals who run around and kill others for having different beliefs. And I don't give a damn about your acceptable answers, only realistic ones.

Wow, just, wow. You are so full of hatred, and that hatred severely impairs your judgment. You are no better than the terrorists whom you claim to despise. Because when you make hateful comments such as the ones you have made, you choose to enable systematic violence against an entire group of people.

Again, I refer you to the relative civilian body count of the Iraq War vs. 9/11. I will not let this point go until your ego finally softens to the point that you can accept it.
 
It could be argued that radical islam is actually true islam, and that the moderated version we see is the innovation.

Your argument would be wrong, but it could be argued nonetheless. The radical Islamist movements of today are a fairly recent development, formed as a reaction to being fought over by the atheist USSR and Christian US during the Cold War.

No, There's no "racism" involved in political cartoons about a fantasy religion (Islam, in this case).


There is no "Arab race" as you seem to believe and are being irrationally offended over. :roll:
 
Arabs sure aren't white, I can tell you that. It is not difficult to see how Islamophobia and racism are almost inextricably linked, unless you are in denial.

You realise most Muslims are Asian, right? Arabs only make up about 20%.

Please.


The guy is clearly a reader of every leftist rag piece that bunches people into victimized non existent racial groups like "Arab" when Muslims makeup far more people than Arabs..

You just admitted that your splitting hairs over racism vs. Islamophobia is a red herring. And I maintain that it would not be a hard case to build that Islamophobia is inherently racist in nature.

Some white leftist posting cartoons that are anti-Jesus doesn't make them "Christianophobic" or "racist". You simply let your silly leftist "racist hysteria" get in the way of seeing that. You shouldn't get so angry.

People should be free to think whatever they want and say* whatever they want. It is when they act, or plan to act, in a way that causes harm to others that they should be stopped. In other words, we can and should keep our freedom of thought and religion but we shouldn't tolerate violent crimes or vandalism. A person who believes in radical Islam can live in our society as long as she/he obeys the law.

*within the limits of our laws, most of which are reasonable

Trying to reason with you is like trying to reason with a drunk man. Know that not everyone welcomes your hatred.

I think you're a nice little person with a deeply flawed leftist slant who just takes the internet a little too seriously to be able to go around accusing people of "hatred" for posting cartoons. :)

Never said I did. I offered opinion. Not denial of rights.
Nor do they over mine.
