[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is an interesting idea.  What do you think?  From another forum (I edited out some crude words):

So here's what we do. On Sunday at 12 noon everyone, everywhere, posts on their Twitter, Facebook, Instagram exactly the kind of free expression the Paris killers did not want to see. Spread the word and use the hashtag #letsblaspheme. Forward this note as wide as you can. Post it everywhere.

We make this a general policy anytime something like this happens. If a Christian lunatic kills an artist for ****ing on the cross, we post millions of pictures and videos of ourselves ****ing on the cross. If anyone kills anyone, anywhere, for saying something or publishing something, we all say and publish exactly that thing on Sunday at noon after the murder.

It has to happen immediately, the Sunday after the event, to make it clear that it's caused by the event. It has to happen *only* in response to murders caused by the exercise of free expression, not to any other kind of provocation. And it has to be equal opportunity, for all threats to free expression.

Pouring fuel on the fire? No, this is the only way to take the oxygen out of the fire. The violent do not get a veto over free expression in a liberal society. Their actions have to lead to exactly what they do not want.

Is it safe for you to take part? Make it safe. Spread the word. If the hashtag starts trending, if newsmedia pick up the story, if the pundits start saying how this is not wise, you know you'll be safe.[/quote]
