Two Shot at Muhammad Art Exhibit [W:439, 529, 978, 1489]

And you out yourself as being ignorant and talking out your sphincter on the topic.......

You really didn't have to illustrate that you don't really know what you're talking about. I understood your knowledge of the world is dependent on quick google-searches.

Are you tripling down, on record, that Jordan doesn't have sharia courts?
 
Re: Shooting at Muhammad Art Exhibit in Texas

The "free speech" discussion consisted of two parties -- the people drawing Muhammad, and people who mocked or criticized them. Don't change the subject.

Who did the shooting?

Where did I say Jordan doesn't have Sharia courts. But are you claiming that Jordan only recognizes sharia law and has no laws of its own?

Stop trying to embarrass yourself.

Have you ever actually been to Jordan? And do you actually know how to read English?
 
Re: Shooting at Muhammad Art Exhibit in Texas

:lol: I get that it's not everyones cup of tea.

For me personally, Sunday cricket, exercising, running around in the fresh air, enjoying the sunshine with friends and family, laughing and having fun is a lot more appealing than attending a "family day" that offers prize money for the best caricature of any religious figure.

I was just joking. Americans have no concept of cricket.

I also believe the hate mongering of a religious caricature drawing contest is small minded and wrong.
 
Re: Shooting at Muhammad Art Exhibit in Texas

Who did the shooting?

The defensive shooting?

I dont know exactly who did that. CNN is reporting that it was the Garland Police Department. At the same time, other sources indicate that there were uhmmm..... "private security" guards of the expensive kind there. The men in the unmarked uniforms that I have seen in photos appear more like high end contract mercenaries than Police Department SWAT to me. At the same time, they were answering press questions which could mean police.

In either case, they clearly knew what they were doing. Though I avoid giving needless offense to anybody as it causes needless confrontations, if I was going out of my way to provoke a large group of people, they are the type of security that I would want around me.

Respect is a two way street and, thanks to Charlie Hebdo and this stupid stunt, the entire Muslim world knows more than ever that their religion is not respected by a good portion of Westerners.

Some people dont respect other religions or religion generally. Should westerners be made to cow tow to muslims for their self esteem?

Of course not. Why treat them any differently than anyone else? What have you got against equality?

All this, but was shot by a traffic cop. no plate carrier or moral patches required.


Most of what these soldiers cops did was prevent the attacked from leaving. ;)
 
Re: Shooting at Muhammad Art Exhibit in Texas

In this case it is as it's not like Islamic extremists have been keeping it a secret, If you host events like these you risk being attacked by some mentally unstable extremists. I just wish you could all take each other out like some sort of Darwin Battle Royale games.
Ah...its more of that "if you wear that skirt, its likely you will be raped" logic.
 
Re: Shooting at Muhammad Art Exhibit in Texas

There's no such thing as "the Islamic culture," unless you're making the patently absurd claim that "the culture" in Iran, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Jordan, Qatar, etc. is exactly the same no matter where you go.

Kobie, please read books. Islamic culture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The fact that islamic terror is a problem wherever there are muslims should be a hint to you.
 
Re: Shooting at Muhammad Art Exhibit in Texas

I'm not defending the idiots in this story,
but that doesn't mean what you think it means

I know exactly what it means. I understand it doesn't mean freedom of consequence, but killing people over a caricature is not a lawful consequence to anything.
 
Re: Two Shot at Muhammad Art Exhibit in Texas

Well...lets see. People are saying that it is an expected 'consequence'....that one can expect such a response to an act of free speech from extremists-that sort of sounds like blaming the people that hosted and attened the free speech event, doesnt it? Does that mean we can soon expect other responses as a natural 'consequence' from extremists in the US?

I wonder if they would say that a girl in a bikini or wearing skimpy clothes should expect the consequence of being raped ?

Your point? Then again I doubt you could carry the equipment.
 
Re: Shooting at Muhammad Art Exhibit in Texas

/facepalm

Thanks to those who provided links to the story, btw.

Yes, we are fortunate enough to live in a country where freedom of speech is allowed; however, freedom from consequence is not allowed. WTF were these idiots thinking? "Gee, it would be fun to entice angry Muslims to come and try to kill us while we mock them?" Thankfully, it wasn't worse... but I can't imagine why anyone would think such an in-your-face outrage would be a swell idea.



provoke?

Where is there a law, even a by law, that says there is a right not to be offended?

FFS, I see provocation depictions of Jesus all the time, and none of them start shooting up the landscape.

Who the **** gave Islam the right not to be provoked?

The religion of "peace" those wonderful people who behead and burn to death, decapitate babies need some ****ing Xanax
 
Re: Shooting at Muhammad Art Exhibit in Texas

When Obama called Islam the religion of peace he didn't add a disclaimer saying "unless you draw a cartoon". :cool:

Or have a tattoo. Or don't wear a hijab, or don't shout death to America, or honor kill your daughter or any number of things they kill for.
 
Re: Two Shot at Muhammad Art Exhibit in Texas

I keep finding it funny how many people ignore that it was police who stopped this attack, not armed civilians.


I've heard different versions. I've heard that it was a security guard, I've heard that it was a cop, I've heard that it was an off-duty cop acting as a security guard. A security guard is an armed private citizen working in a security capacity, btw.

Dunno at this point for sure.

But the point is still valid even if it was a cop: as an armed society we have armed cops and armed security guards. In many countries where there is no right to arms to speak of, armed security guards are rare and even armed cops are uncommon.

And even if there had been none such present, this being Texas there's a fairly good chance the shooters would have run afoul of armed citizens soon enough, unless this venue prohibited civilian carry (as some do, even in Texas).


Final point being this sort of attempted mass shooting attack works far better in unarmed societies or "gun free zones" than elsewhere.


Almost all US mass shootings with a large body count took place in "gun free zones" or places where CCW was prohibited.
