Everyone draw muhammed day

[dubsport87]

Have you guys seen the facebook group of this? What are your thoughts?

I support the freedom of speech.

I'm all for the First Amendment, I have a Journalism degree.

But this is obviously an attempt to incite a reaction, not openly express ideals without the fear of reprisal.

Kinda like the american kids who wore usa shirts and bandanas to cinco de mayo? You had a different take on that situation (i think).
IMHO this is along the same lines.

Agreed. I support your right to draw it 100%. But I don't agree with the philosophy of doing it just to piss people off and incite what will inevitably become violence.

This is the same person that started a thread called Jesus Fucking Christ?

You are correct. In retrospect, I see the error of my judgement regarding the previous situation.

Granted the opposite side says, "They shouldn't get violent over a picture" and they shouldn't.

It's definitely a gray area, that people (myself included at times), try to make a black/white issue.

What does a thread title meant to draw attention have ANYTHING to do with using speech to incite a violent reaction?

Absolutely. I find it pretty funny, 'How dare you claim that we are violent??!?!? We will blow you up for making such insult!!'

lol.

Yes, the absolute failure to realize the hypocrisy kills me.

Same thing with our own politics.

If Muhammad wants it stopped, he can stop it, right? I mean, according to his adherents, he is THE God, so A) he shouldn't get his holy skivvies in a wad, and B)if they ARE in a wad over some pathetic infidels drawing pictures of him with their accursed infidel hand (god forbid they use their LEFT hands), then as creator of everything, it's his own damn fault, since he's at the top of the chain of command.....:-)

Really? Hey, you learn something new everyday.

[z31maniac]

Are you really so bullheaded you don't understand INTENT?

My thread title was to call attention to it, because we were having wild weather last night. The INTENT was not to offend Christians, if some were :zzz:

However, the INTENT of this "Draw Muhammed Day" IS TO offend.

See the difference?
