Shooting at Muhammad cartoon conference in Dallas

[Seraven]

There are only two positions here, the one who support Islam and the who against it.

The above statement is false.

So what is the true statement?

[Yumyumsuppertime]

So..... you claim that people always demonize muslims, then claim to be a muslim right after you suggest that anybody who speaks ill of Islam deserves to be shot, and you somehow still can't see for the life of you that you might just be half of the problem? Hell, you're doing a much better job of demonizing Islam yourself than anybody else in this thread. It really flies in the face of all those other people who desperately tried to prove that muslims weren't opposed to the freedom of speech in the wake of the Charlie Hedbo attacks.

You have any solutions on this issue?

I have one.

Stop approving of the murder of people who insult your religion, but take no physical action against it or its followers.

It is not permanent.

Yes. Don't feed the trolls.

I am not trolling.

I am stating one of the available solutions.

Death is quite permanent.

[Keyboard Warriors]

No, they are trolling you and the rest of your religion because they want the reaction which they just got.

[Seraven]

It is not permanent.

Death is quite permanent.

Take no physical actions against them, while it is kind of acceptable, cannot really stop them from demonizinhpg religions they hate.

There you go again, against our religion, again.

...No, he's saying don't get baited easily.

If I were to draw a penis raping Jesus while his face shows orgasm, YumYum, who is a Christian isn't going to track me down and cap my ass (I think). Because he's not easily baited. So..be like that. Don't get easily baited.

[Steamtopia]

A shooting? In the US? Say it ain't so.

[Yumyumsuppertime]

Okay.

Keep killing idiots whose crime involves a pen and a piece of paper.

See how well that works out for you.

I'm done with this particular interaction.

I'm also not a Christian. I'm Unitarian Universalist. I mean, I suppose that you could draw a cartoon of Emerson or someone shopping at Walmart, but even then, we'd be more inclined to judge it on the artistic merits.

We're a hard people to offend with attacks on the religion itself, you know?

Emerson being raped by tentacles it is.

Neat. You'll probably win a U.U. art contest for it.

They should be allowed to proceed unless there is a clear and immediate danger. In this case, there hadn't been any specific threat. The fact that this sort of event sometimes attracts violence is just a reason to have good security, not to cancel the whole conference.

[Azurand]

So the Islamophobes being evil to Muslim is acceptable, but Muslims being evil to Islamophobes is not acceptable?

I’m sorry, but as far as I’m aware these “Islamophobes” are still not legally allowed to shoot Muslims in America, please correct me if I’m wrong. They draw fucking cartoons about (y)our goddamn prophet, so fucking what? How is that has something to do with “being evil” or “demonizing”? How could that, in your eyes, justify the response of murder?

This is why the Ummah is rejected by the world. As a person associated with the Faith and concerned with the well-being of the Islamic world, I shall stand in support for another Muhammad cartoon conference to be held and I pray deeply to Allah that this time, His believers are maturing and they'll leave the conference alone. That will be a nice first step for progress, methinks.

Don't even try to reason with terrorism-apologists, it's like trying to argue with a neo-nazi.

Hopefully you get what you pray for.

This is why gun ownership is wonderful And Texas should secede if it is threatened.

Yes these events should be allowed, disliking this religion is fine.

Why don't you just go ahead and secede before anybody come to take your guns? Maybe you could even do it nonviolently so you don't get nuked or run over by a tank.

[Sebtopiaris]

Fuck these people and their extremism. If their god is as semi-sane as the other Abrahamic peoples think it is, they're going straight to hell for this shit.

[Dumb Ideologies]

Can't we just arm both sides and lock them in a room together until they resolve their differences?

[Washington Resistance Army]

Because the Democrats are sabotaging all efforts by knowingly allowing illegals to cross the borders, thereby launching amnesties and gaining new voters. But thankfully now we have biker gangs with automatics on the border protecting the Constitution while local police officers, Texas ATF Dept and border guards are supporting them by being apathetic to calls to remove them.

Or we can just kick out El Paso.

This thread, however, is not about Texan secession.

Thanks, I needed something stupid to laugh at.

Since I never gave my actual thoughts on what happened, it's good no one was injured. I'm surprised this happened in the south of all places, didn't figure there would be many militant Muslims there.

[Washington Resistance Army]

.

Took an EEG of your brain?

Not sure how this is relevant to the thread though.

You have to try much harder than that to insult me, at least get creative and put some effort into it. Also, no it was your stupid 'Dems are ebul destruyin Texas hurr durr' nonsense.

As for how it's relevant? It's not entirely, but Texas could be considered a topic for discussion given this happened in Dallas.

Any word on where the shooter was from? Texas or no?

[Risottia]

As for discussion: do you think conferences like this should be allowed to proceed, does the possibility of violence change your view?

Such conferences are trollish, and trolling is a bad idea: then again, the risk of trolling is the price of free speech, and being free to criticise and satyrise anything is crucial. So no, the possibility of violence does not change my view.

[Yumyumsuppertime]

Odd thing is, I've been (incorrectly) referred to as that in the past.
