[quote=Anonymous][quote=Muslima][quote=Anonymous][quote=Muslima]With freedom comes responsibility, as the saying goes. People focus on their rights, maybe once in a while, we should focus on our duties to mankind. Hate begets Hate. I have never understood the principle of "right to offend". Why would you like to offend someone? What's the usefulness of this right? What was the value added to the world of the distasteful cartoons? They didn't make the world a better place,  they contributed to the marginalization and mockery of minorities and contributed to adding more hate to a broken world. Just because you have a right to say something,  doesn't mean you should!  [/quote]

With that said,[b] shouldn't the person who the hatred is directed at just ignore the ignorance of the name caller? [/b]  Of course just because they can be offensive, does not mean that they should be.  Unfortunately, it always has been and most likely always will be.   When I was younger I was picked on and made fun of.  I was offended and it hurt terribly.  However, there came a point where I realized that they are making fun of me because of some issue that they have going on in their life.  It has nothing to do with me.  They have a right to their opinion and to voice it.  I have the option of not letting it affect me.  More than likely, they are the ones that are miserable and I decided not to let them drag me down with them.  Hate does not always beget hate.  Unfortunately it does when people are uneducated and are easy pray for those who do hate...no matter what their background is.

Well the majority ignores them,   one in a while you have a.lunatic who goes bersek,  and the Paris attacks were not just about the cartoons.  There are underlying issues that brought us to where we are today and this can not be analyzed in a vacuum, outside of the context and surrounding climate [/quote]

So, are you saying that what happened in Paris is justified?  I am not trying to be an ass, I just want to make sure I understand before posting a comment.[/quote]
