French Publication doesn't give in to Terrorism

Good for them. They got fire bombed last time as well.

Every publication in the Western World that values free speech should stand up together and print a similar innocuous image.

Agreed, no publication should be intimidated by the violent acts of a small minority of unreasonable backwards thinking zealots.

How do you explain the French courts siding with the Royal Family, then? :shifty:

Now if only we could get Comedy Central to rebroadcast the "Cartoon Wars" episodes of South Park in their uncensored, intended form. I want a world where those two episodes are shown and no-one gets bumpain about it.

As far as I know Royalists haven't stormed the French Embassy in a White Fiat Uno and executed the ambassador yet.

But then it could be they have and there's a press cover up. :shifty:

Because that was a disgusting invasion of privacy. This is making light of a disgusting religion/culture.

Privacy issues and a group of nutjobs who believe a fairy tale are separate issues.

Not sure if serious.

I was just doing a joke about the royal family being small-minded zealots.

Yes, yes, I know that. That wasn't what I was saying. Hell, even DBlock got the joke.

Honestly, this strawberry floating forum sometimes :fp:

I don't think he got the joke, I think he though you'd owned the thread

It's not the belief itself that's the problem, it's the use of said belief to excuse violence that causes such problems and suffering, every religion has its fanatics but thankfully they are in the minority.

Good on them, but it doesn't surprise me that a French publication would print that, the French aren't scared of doing what needs to be done (see Rainbow Warrior, 1985 :shifty:

)

That's brilliant.

Does anyone follow Gervais on Twitter? He does go on about religion a bit much but I agree with what he says. The idea that people kill each other over what they belive in is just crazy, especially when there's no proof that their gods exist.

Something Fishy

Sadly that does have a point.

People really need to chill out.

And the Burkha.

That's incredible. If that was anything about islam, people would be burning.

Serious question, probably not the best one to ask but what the hell:

Why are (some) Muslims so hyper-sensitive about this stuff? Like let's-blow-shit-up-and-kill-people-over-a-cartoon crazy? I just don't get it.

Because they secretly know it's all bullshit and the idea that their entire upbringing is a crock of gooseberry fool makes people a little edgy. Kind of like how that closet-case dad in American Beauty wouldn't shut up about how much he hated queers.
