Did you support the burning of the Kuran a few years back? I didn't.
Do you support burning our flag in public? I don't.
Do you support Westboro Church protesting at our soldiers funerals? Once again, I don't.

YOU may have noticed we don't live at the same time as when this Constitution was written--we will always be at war from here on out.
We have enough problems without those who intentionally incite violence.

Though I should just cheer Geller on--as she scares the **** out of mainstream Americans .

Gratuitously making fun of religion, or any provocation against a religion for the benefit of a good laugh is ignorant and irresponsible. Geller is doing her damnedest to get somebody killed.

Would I burn a Koran? No. Should you be free to? Yes.
Would I burn the flag? No. Should you be free to? Yes.
Yes, I support even the insane, sick, gross, annoying, nasty Westboro demons speaking...... It's their right to speak. But I'd be the first in line to block their view and help drown out their hateful voices.

Do you think all of those things should be illegal?

Also, you didn't even address my questions about THIS topic. Do you think making fun of religions should be illegal?

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.

Well, she succeeded. Two dead terrorists.

A security guard was injured, could be worse on her next colouring contest.

Blemonds said:

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

NIMBY said:

Are we at war right now--yes--so my answer is an unequivocal YES.



In the way Geller did it--inciting terrorists we are at war with--knowing the potential consequences--YES--unequivocally.

How can anyone support a person like Geller who came that close to being part of a mass murder if but for an exceptional policeman?
This is not an insult at you Josie--I'm just not willing to sacrifice American lives so Geller can drive the stake of division ever deeper.
I'm an Air Force brat who is 61-YO and will never agree with this stoking the flames of war we are already at .

There are vastly more right wing terrorists on US soil than Muslim terrorists.

Not sure what the problem is here, Kobie.
You haven't seen or read a thing of hers, but you know whats shes all about. How is that tolerant?

Josie said:

Do you say that about EVERYONE who makes fun of ANY religion.....? Cuz that's most every show on American television, numerous movies, at least 3 Broadway musicals that I can think of off the top of my head....

Josie said:

So NO ONE should be allowed to make fun of Islam? Is that correct?

Click to expand...

Montecresto said:

Yes. And given some Islamic extremists proclivity to violent responses to their prophet being disrespected, openly poking that stick is stupid. I would also point out to you its thoroughly unnecessary for Geller to prove she has a constitutional right of free speech.

Fearandloathing said:

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.

NIMBY said:

I judged you better than to try to put those words in my mouth Josie.
At no time did I say NO ONE and you know it.

I said it was the "WAY" Geller did it.
Do YOU agree with Geller doing the EXACT SAME thing that produced the Hebdo mass murder?
Not to mention the innocent lives not related to the drawings.
Don't you realize how close this was to a mass murder ?

This thinking is completely ignorant. Mind-numbingly ignorant.

Josie said:

Yes, a security guard was injured because 2 terrorists shot him, not because some people drew pictures.

Montecresto said:

The shooters were there because of the insensitivity of ignorant bigots seeking the entertainment value of offending an entire group of people that they already hate. Irresponsible ass holes. If they keep colouring their cartoons, we'll likely see more of this.

US Conservative said:

A real President would address the nation with what happened, and with resolve commit to fight any ideology that would lead to such things.

In other words, not Obama.
