[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Muslima][quote=jsteele]I realize everyone's attention is on the events in Paris, but before I forget, here is what I consider a responsible way to present the cartoons:

Great article. Thanks for sharing!

"With all due respect to the great cartoonist Ann Telnaes, it is simply not the case that Charlie Hebdo “were equal opportunity offenders.” Like Bill Maher, Sam Harris and other anti-Islam obsessives, mocking Judaism, Jews and/or Israel is something they will rarely (if ever) do. If forced, they can point to rare and isolated cases where they uttered some criticism of Judaism or Jews, but the vast bulk of their attacks are reserved for Islam and Muslims, not Judaism and Jews. Parody, free speech and secular atheism are the pretexts; anti-Muslim messaging is the primary goal and the outcome. And this messaging – this special affection for offensive anti-Islam speech – just so happens to coincide with, to feed, the militaristic foreign policy agenda of their governments and culture."[/quote]

As usual you two manage to take something that is about one topic - islamic terrorists - and make it about something else - jews.

Uh, no. That's not what happened. You need to actually read the article. Put your "anti-Semite card" back in your pocket and use it when it is needed.

Uh yes it is, and maybe you should learn a little bit more about Glenn Greenwald before you start posting his articles in a thread like this. Context is important. Go ahead and just disagree with me or call me names, but it won't make you right.[/quote]

No, you are simply lying. Moreover, it is a very despicable lie. I linked to an article that contained cartoons mocking many groups, including Muslims. You are trying to paint me as an anti-Semite. You are literally making Glenn Greenwald's point. I guess we see exactly where free expression ends for you.

Not trying to paint you as an anti-semite, and you are a despicable person for implying that I did - you know as well as anyone how dangerous those words are, and I can't believe that you would so casually make that kind of an accusation. All I said was that you steered the conversation in a way that you usually do.  you were the one who made the leap and accused me of throwing around the "anti-semite card"? what do you think would happen if you accused someone of throwing around the race card.

The point I was trying to make was that you casually inserted an article into a discussion about a horrific event in Paris written by a man who is unbelievably controversial when it comes to issues of Israel and anti-semitism. It appears that you know the context that Mr. Greenwald brings to the table, which makes what you did even more horrifyingly negligent.[/quote]
