Where in my post did I even suggest that might is right, you dumb as dirt, freckle faced, yellow fever having bitch-made ho?
I am not at all surprised that a gutless coward like you would take what I say and try to spin it around like you did. I call you a gutless coward not because I’m slingling shit for no reason, but because you actually think being proud of your race/religion/culture/family are “silly beliefs”.
It’s like the idea and concept of pride is completely lost on you (again, not surprising from someone with yellow fever).
Ok, so I get beat up. But guess what, for someone like me, and billions out there, getting beat up defending my belief is worth it. I know, it’s a completely fucking lost idea to people like you.
This is the problem with this thread and debate in general. You have a bunch of spoiled bleeding heart liberal hippies who think violence is wrong and that human beings should be on some next level, zen-master, Dalai-Lama bullshit. They want to be able to insult others without the repercussion of realness. This is not reality, no matter how much self-serving, back patting, lovey-dovey bullshit you want to spew.
No, because ancient copies of the Qur’an still exist, the dates and times mentioned are universally accepted and not the subject of debate, whereas there isn’t much solid evidence of Aisha’s age, aside from indirect inference which leaves little doubt she was any younger than 14 at the time of marriage.
its because keeping it real means showing respect to everyones pride. You don’t seem confident enough to be able to fight with words (as in provide a valid argument as a rebuttal), which is the point.
you fight with words to prove your point. i cant believe you walk into situations thinking “at some point i can be so offended that i’ll just hit him”.
you’re disgusting for expecting so little from everyone and having such poor comprehension.
I’ll gladly be right, and take a punch in the face. As i’ll continue to be right after.
this kind of tough guy bullshit can justify almost any violence. just wait til you offend someone douchey as you and we’ll see if you sing a different tune.
Why is it dirtbags like you and Weeks continue to take this out of context?
No one is saying you should get punched in the face for being right. We’re saying you should get punched in the face for being a fucking asshole.
Getting punched in the face because you believe the Earth is round = Completely, 100% unacceptable. This I agree with.
but that is different than
Getting punched in the face because you purpose drew the face of a Prophet on a dog and depicting said Prophet in homosexual activities. (what part of this is “respecting everyones pride”?)
Violence may not be right, but in a lot of situation, it’s understandable.
Your son is six years old. You adore him, and he adores you. Another little boy calls him stupid and draws a picture of him with an ugly monster face and makes him cry. Do you headbutt that little boy?
you can be an asshole and be right. As asshole IS SUBJECTIVE.
why are you so stupid?
and yes i agree its understandable, as in within the realm of possibility. Because you’re dealing with idiots. Dosen’t mean its right, as you should always be human enough to respect ideas.
i like week’s posts, so thanks.
also, its weird that the bigots are hippies at the same time.
Probably not from your run of the mill Roman Catholics or Protestants, you wouldn’t get someone jumping on stage and assaulting mans lol. If you pulled that shit in the south on some of the more fanatical Christian sects, then you’d be at risk.
Yet, the same could probably be said for Islam. Religious EXTREMISM is what causes these kinds of reactions, not religion itself. And it’s also tempered or enhanced by the culture, a third world country has a lot less societal devices in place stopping someone from thinking they’ll be porking 47 virgins if they blow themselves up than a first world country.
You’re calling me stupid, and yet you still can’t comprehend the situation and the context. It is you who continues to be blissfully fucking stupid.
You conveniently did not answer the question I posted. What part of depicting a Prophet as a dog/engaging in homosexual activity is “respecting everyone’s pride”??? This is YOUR words. What part of that is right? In this situation, in this context, the artist isn’t right about anything. He’s simply a fucking douchebag asshole exercising his right to be a douchebag asshole. Violence is perfectly understandable in this context. Fuck that bullshit, how you gonna have the balls to disrespect someone’s religion, then cower up like a bitch and play the “Higher-level Homosapien” card when shit hits the fan? That’s 100% bitch status. You got the balls to invite violence, take it like a man. How about you take responsibility and man the fuck up for your action? How about that?
I’d take the other boy home and let the crybaby fend for himself.
Also, theres pride in your work. And no one said cower up in the fetal position. You should be as aggressive as you see fit via the spoken word. Being hit will not prove you to be wrong, so that part doesnt matter. Once hit you can hit back, or something.
Your argument is “shit happens” and “respect the religion of the people who’ll hit you”. Both of which are stupid.
You have to respect everyone ideas, for christ sakes america under your logic could lay waste to an entire region over flag burning.
Every attempt at violence only serves to hurt Muslims and to make Islam seem evil.
You can try to justify it all you want, but no one who doesn’t already believe as you do is going to buy it. Don’t insult our intelligence. You won’t get away with it.
The Islamic apologetics in this thread are hilarious, btw. They remind me of the ones I see from young earth creationists. They’ll spend a week researching and cross-referencing historical documents and holy books in a desperate attempt to avoid what is written plainly in black and white. And you know they don’t stop looking until they find something half-way plausible either.
If only we were governed by an all-knowing deity. Then the destruction of the tower of babel and the one world language could’ve been averted, and we wouldn’t have all these darn mistranslation errors that could be used as a convenient excuse for any contradiction or atrocity a believer happens to come across.
By your own logic, your version is flawed because a man verbally assaulting a little boy is not the same as insulting a full-grown man.
But I ask you, what is the difference between a little boy and a political cartoon artist? I am assuming here, but your argument seems to be saying that it’s wrong for a man to attack a child because a child is much weaker and unable to defend himself. Why is attacking someone of equal strength permissible/understandable (depending on your flavor of choice) while attacking someone weaker is wrong? Correct me if I’m wrong on your position.
Basically you’d rather just listen to what you’re told instead of trying to find shit out for yourself. One question: Where is whatever it is you’re referring to (I’m assuming Aisha’s alleged age, which is in fact not black and white at all, sources being dubious at best) written in ‘black and white’?
