Yeh and more Muslims will die to in the name of freedom and democracy, it is a vicious circle ~
Racism, Religious Bigotry and Discrimination does not promote a more "civil" society. "Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe." - Frederick Douglass

you certainly can, but it stinks that you do it after the same cartoonists were slaughtered for drawing the cartoons, and by people who alleged to be offended by the cartoons. it sounds a lot like blaming, even just in part, the victims.
it would be the same if the Muslims in the Philippines were attacked and slaughtered en masse for participating to the march, and we quipped on DCUM how ridiculous and idiotic is for a bunch of Philippinos not to have anything better to do than protest for cartoons published on the other side of the world in a country where freedom of religious satire is held on high regard.
Yes, it is always a shame to be killed for participating in a march or expressing your rights, it is a sad world we live in ~

If the bar of expectation for Muslim behavior is that they should protest in favor of the actions of murderers, rather than be murderers, we can do that. Seems a bit low, though.
Nobody can help you, if you have comprehension issues....

and we are exercising our freedom of speech by saying that Muslims in the Philippines would spend their time more wisely if they protested against the thousands in Syria, Iraq and Nigeria who desecrate Islam and commit blasphemy against their Prophet by killing and raping thousands of innocent in the name of Allah and the Quran, instead of marching against a magazine published in a country on the other side of the world.
Oh, so now you have to tell them what they need to be angry about or protest against ? Got it!!!
Reading some of these posts is actually better than SNL, you can not be serious, but thank you for the laughs!

It is outright hypocritical to defend the right to insult Mohammed on the grounds of free speech and yet have no issue with those who attempt to restrict the right of someone who chooses to offend Jews or challenge the holocaust.
"challenge the [H]olocaust?" Didn't know it was up for debate.
Whether there is merit to the claims by those who deny the holocaust or feel the numbers are exaggerated is neither here nor there. We are talking about free speech and freedom of expression which is what those who defend the cartoons depicting Mohammed say is the essence of the issue.
How does one make this argument and then in the next breath not condemn any laws that restrict the right of those who choose to question the holocaust or in some other way offend Jewish sensibilities?
Here is a historian who was jailed for denying the holocaust:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/4733820.stm
At least one of his fiercest critics had the intellectual honesty to defend his right to say what he wished about the holocaust and opposed his imprisionment.
"I am not happy when censorship wins, and I don't believe in winning battles via censorship... The way of fighting Holocaust deniers is with history and with truth," she told the BBC News website.
That's just the result of double standard that is so obvious and pathetic. People are prissy about their own importance and sensibilities and flippant about the importance and sensibilities of others.

I'm glad you recognize your friends--I'm sure their mannerisms and voices are familiar to you. That's not the point, and I feel sure you know it.
Well, the PP stated" How can anyone recognize someone with a niqab?" and I just told him/her how. That was my point. You do not have a constitutional right to see people's faces unless you are a cop, for identity/security reason and the niqabis take off their niqabs for those reasons when asked.

I guess, these should be banned too....
I never said otherwise!
You should check your tire pressure monthly, it goes down 1 to 2 pounds for every 10 degrees of temperature change.
