For those unaware Charlie Hebdo a french satirical newspaper published "offensive" images of Mohammad. There are now fears that there will be attacks against french interests due to this. Some newspapers are suggesting that the images were Islamophobic and should not have been printed.

 

Im personally getting pretty annoyed with this, because I strongly believe that everyone has the right to say and believe what they want. We just can not let terror change things. I just do not understand how any media outlet could even remotely tolerate this type of intimidation. Freedom has a cost, and sometimes there will be consequences to allowing people to say whatever they want.

 

Reminds me of the South Park episode where they could not even show Mohammad after 9/11 (people forget Mohammad was at one point part of the Super Friends and was on tv http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_E6zoUJzvU).

 

Its not Islamophobia, its freedom. And when another culture, society, country, person, threatens your freedom, you fight back.

I agree with everything here except I'm curious about one phrase...what do you mean by "Fight back"?

We are on the same page. People die because of our freedoms.

We dont give into fear and we draw cartoons of Mohammad and treat their religion the same way we treat every religion. They get no special treatment because they are trying to scare us.
