Islam forbids depiction of Muhammad. (5.00 / 1)

But, if we are not Muslims, Islam cannot forbid us diddly shit, correct?  Seems perfectly obvious.  Live and let live.

We have these little things, like, freedom of speech, equality of all people regardless of gender, sexual preference, etc.  Freedom of religion.  Separation of church and state.  The best of us are willing to die for them.

It seems that a great many Muslims are willing to die to eliminate them.

Free Speech Doesn't Require Stupid Bigoted Provocations (0.00 / 0)

(from comment at Pffugee Camp)

I was raised Congregationalist in Connecticut, and nobody gripes about the fact that the Congregationalists used to collect taxes in Connecticut any more. Virtually all sects lay claim to unbroken traditions, and it seems those claims are generally baseless. Christianity today is not like it was prior to the middle ages. Nor is Islamism nor Judaism, as far as I can tell. The tribes that Mohammed converted treated women quite viciously, and Mohammed gave them some rights, to the extent that early Islamism could be considered the greatest women's liberation movement ever, in its inception. The Jews, Christians and Islamics are not what they were in the past, and will not be as they are now in the future.

I would never indoctrinate little children with crosses, beads, dreidels, etc. None of those traditions appeal to me at all. And all the crucifixions, conquests, holocausts, and various historical obsessions merely prop up what I view as a false sense of historical continuity. None of the current religions appear to bear much spirituality as far as I can see. People believe in them mostly because they were indoctrinated in childhood. It is just obnoxious, and usually sinister, to insult entire groups of people who were indoctrinated with these traditions. Even most political "conservatives," and there are many types of "conservatives," were merely indoctrinated to be such, so I don't go out of my way to insult them. Aggressive denunciation of large groups of people for their beliefs and practices usually leads to disaster. But unfortunately, it is an easy path to power for righteous tyrants.

Support The Freedom And Equality Party!

Praise to those (5.00 / 1)

who participated in "draw Muhammad day"!

When there are only a few brave individuals, like Salman Rushdie, Theo van Gogh, or the Danish cartoonist, Islamist thugs can just murder them.

O.K., let them try to kill us all.

And, BTW, isn't it strange about Ayaan Hirsi Ali? A hero in the struggle for women's rights and freedom from religion can find supporters only among the right wing?  And then the left attacks her for that.

Hirsi Ali's plight is African-tribal, not Islam (0.00 / 1)

She's only become a natural darling of the right wing due to her usefullness in demonizing some vague and incorrect definition of 'Arabian' custom. Whether or not she's stood for 'women's rights'. How many other champions of women's rights are given her sort of platform? None.

The others you mention, the International Ministers Of Cartoon Incitement and Cruel Caricature are admitted nihilists for the most part, opportunists. A vain nihilist's martyrdom counts for exactly NOTHING, in terms of justice or humanity. They too only exist above ground in the first place for their usefullness in propaganda ops.

African-Tribal? (0.00 / 0)

That sounds like PC for "Arab".

When did these camel herders become the epitome of mankind?

The conquest of Persia by the Arabs was one of the great tragedies of history.
