If that’s true (and I’ll believe it when it’s confirmed by FB, not because the Pakastani government claims this coup), then we should all protest to FB management.

Or in protest, start putting images of a certain hideously ugly (inside and out) asshole on our walls.

And to hell with all blasphemy laws.

I think it's necessary for me to draw another Mohammed.

Did Eboo cite an acceptable way to satirize islam? Did Eboo cite any examples of "speech" that should be protected even if they hurt a religious group's feelings?

The mere suggestion that followers of a faith should expect that everyone, including non-followers, should for a moment follow any tenets of their ideology is disgusting and imperialist.

But these expectations are coming from "moderates" and now foreign nations? Bullshit.

What are they going to do? Kill everybody that isn’t a muslim?

If the extremists had it their way… yes. Convert or kill is kind of a theme with violent religions.

I’m a little surprised that people are surprised muslims are pissed off (again). The whole point of EDMD seemed to be to offend muslims (this was not about artistic expression, the original cartoons may have been but people drawing it on the day were doing so for a purpose that had very little to do with the artistic value of the drawing), and we all already know how they react when offended.

Hypocrites.

“Go to Sweden and ask all those raped blond girls…”

Assuming there is an epidemic of muslims in Sweden raping women, A)Experience tells us it would be within their communities so the victims wouldn’t be blond, and B)Why would it matter if they were blond? Afraid the mudpeople are going to taint our race, my fellow whitey?

I don’t like Islamic radicals setting up shop in my backyard any more than you do, but you are clearly stating “They’re all the same,” and that is clearly xenophobic horsepuckey.
I’d rather live next door to Reza Aslan than Pat Robertson any day of the week. Hell, if I had a daughter, I’d rather she married Reza Aslan or Fareed Zakaria than somebody like Rick Santorum or Mitt Romney.
We can fight this sort of thing without resorting to racism. I’d hope.

It is morally wrong to tolerate intolerance when it becomes legislation.

I recently wrote an article about why it’s not ok to pretend at belief for the sake of social benefits. This is a great example of that very thing. We need a little more intolerance of religious expression. We owe no respect to someone’s beliefs when they infringe upon our life or freedom. Anyone who sits by and doesn’t stand up against this is guilty of aiding it.
