    You are far wiser than Mohammad, and far wiser than Jesus, in my opinion.

    You racist! You bigot! You, you....er.....uh.....oh wait....oh, I see you are just quoting the ISLAMIC texts but inserting MUSLIMS (instead of non-Muslims) as the target of Mohammad's hatred, to make a point. Yes, Mohammad was all the things that the left hates, but their hatred is towards the messenger (Geller/Spencer) and not to the underlying source of said hatred.

    Seems like you are the one who needs to live in the M.E. if you won't defend freedom of speech against those who want tio infringe our liberties.

    Corporations which fail to defend their corporate trademarks and names and logos from infringement can legally lose them.

    If we fail to defend 1A we will lose it.

    Now scoot to Syria.

    Looks like the usa will learn the hard way that in some cases freedom of expression can be dangerous.

    That lesson was learned over 200 years ago. It's was called the Revolutionary War. Free speech will always be dangerous, but the alternative is far more dangerous. Because it leads to tyranny and loss of freedom.

    Absolutely there is no right to not be offended. Besides everything these people are saying about Islam is absolutely true and this incident proves it once again IE Islam is a violent extremist hate group which is itself an incitement.

    Yep you can protest them all you want. Anyone who supports banning events; such as, this one should support banning Islam which is a far greater abuse of freedom of speech and one which fails the clear and probable danger test on every count and can justifiably be banned without violating the 1st amendment.

    Of course you're right, then you of course support nuking Mecca and Medina in response to Muslims poking us. This is why Islam needs to be banned and Muslims deported, it has absolutely no place in the civilized world.

    Telling the truth about Islam is not pornography.

    The hate group known as Islam is what should be banned and it is Muslims that need to be deported and prevented from entering the West so that we can continue having freedom of speech.

    Anyway it looks like many cartoonists have been intimidated from the massacre in Paris. Maybe it is not that great idea to provoke the islamists...

    Heh. Could you imagine someone arguing that abortion clinics are "taking their chances" by existing and thus excusing those who would bomb them, shoot the physicians, etc.?

    Or the Gerald Scarfe cartoon contest at the local synagogue:

    Offending Muslims is fair game.

    You need to back read the thread.

    To reiterate, if you have members of a death cult who are threatening the populous with acts of terrorism for what they feel is insulting to their backwards and insane beliefs... then it is our duty to humanity to provoke and insult them to bring awareness to the entire world about their oppressive and barbaric behavior.

    Yes, ISIS/Boko controlled territory: where a Muslim can run free by legally emulating Mohammad (raping captive infidels, stoning to death gays and adulterers, etc.) Islamic Paradise = ISIS

    I believe that you are more compassionate than 1.5 BILLION people, in that if the texts of your belief system spouted the sheer hatred that the Islamic texts spout that you'd change/improve those texts, because you are more compassionate than they are. You'd take a stand for freedom, take a stand for equal rights, take a stand against violence. Would you rise to that high moral level?

    Submit, my good dhimmi, to the rules of Sharia Law. Cower to the threats of a 7th century pedophile/warlord. Let HIS ancient superstition guide your actions, rather than reason and common sense. NOT!

    To be fair (and I'm all about fairness), Christianity ALSO has backwards and insane beliefs just like Islam does: both teach to kill gays, both teach to treat women as 1/2 man, both want to silence women, both are incredibly cruel and violent texts, both hate non-believers so much (so much for Jesus being loving!) that they want them treated worse (for 99.99999% of there supposed overall existence) than Hitler treated the Jews at Auschwitz (just read the accounts of 'hell' in the bible - a place that Jesus could snap his magic fingers and get rid of, allegedly.)

    Dude... I have no interest in defending Xtianity. Any negative critque of islam I do is in no way shape or form an endorsement for Xtainity. Even tho I don't find Xtianity no where near barbaric as islam, it is still a false religion of imaginary friends IMO.

    edit: as a side note, NT Xtianity isn't even the religion of Jesus. Let's assume Jesus really existed for argument sake, the NT canon is a highjacking of the Xtian faith starting with Constantine and the Counsel of Nicaea.

    And I see another poor, peaceful man was shot by evil cops in Baltimore today. More peaceful looting, arson and attacks on police to follow, I wonder?

    bull(*)(*)(*)(*). This was NOT about free speech, this was about trying to incite violence.

    Common sense should, as well as being respectful.

    Are they trying to start a riot? Or get people killed? If no, then by all means, go on with the show. This wasn't a free speech exercise, this was trying to intentionally pick a fight.

    You know well as I do this was held to intentionally upset Muslims, it was disrespectful, and as we see, dangerous.

    I'm sure there was a peaceful protest as well, but you all are ignoring that part aren't you? Of course you are. Cause this wasn't about the cartoon at all, it was about trying to incite violence. That was it's main point and purpose, and now that you got that violence, you can all stand back and gleefully point at every Muslim and say "See how violent they are?"

    It also doesn't cover intentional acts of trying to incite a riot or violence.

    Yes, there is some that would do that sure, but how about the others that are just offended? What respect have you given those that won't attack, but are upset, and now feel excluded from a society that is supposed to embrace all comers.

    It's not like they haven't done so in the recent past. All I am saying is that a little respect goes a long way. And it's really not free speech to do something knowing you will get a violent reaction because of it.

    Hopefully someday Muslims won't take their religion so damn seriously, and they will learn to take a freaking joke. As (*)(*)(*)(*)ty as the Middle east is right now, do we really need to start trying to intentionally grow our own terrorists here? I know that this was in Texas, and Texans can't think past the next beer, but cmon people, a little common sense helps. After all, we are at war with terrorists, not Islam. Can we stop giving their side reasons to hate us? I bet because of this stunt, every serviceman in the middle east is on high alert. Will it be so damn funny if some of them get hurt because of some lame Texas stunt?

    You evidently think there is some right to 'not be offended'. I don't think that terrorists care if they are excluded from free countries since their goal is domination of Islam. You don't see moderate Muslims killing anyone because we stand up for free speech do you?

    If it were up to me, I would launch two 10 meter tungsten rods from space targeting the Kaaba and the Dome of the Rock right after 9/11. But that wouldn't help matters much. Course if it were really up to me, the Holy See, Israel, and Mecca would be radioactive dust. Just because all three worship an evil deity. Course, that still doesn't help matters much. So I'm trying a different approach, understanding.

    And the thing that people have to understand is, that we are NOT at war with Islam, we are at war with people who pervert this religion and use it as an excuse to murder innocent people. We are at war with jackasses. Not the religion itself.
