This is a link post Shots fired at Danish debate on blasphemy venue.
EDIT: this post has had an "I like this click". I think Anjem Choudhury is a secret b3tan. Also the BBC have altered their report. The original article said in the headline and text that it was a debate about blasphemy. Now that has been changed to free speech. I suppose the BBC doesn't want to be seen to be explicitly implying that religious types are the problem here.

it's the 21st century, if you genuinely believe there is an invisible person in the sky who doesn't like gays or pictures being drawn of them, you should be sectioned.

This is a normal post I'm all for free speech, but we mustn't offend the Muslims, that's the most important thing.
All the other religions are fair game, just not Islam. I think we can all agree that's the sensible and reasonable policy.

This is a normal post It is a criminal offence to offend the jews
in some countries. So Jews and Muslims. Oh, and Catholics and Protestants in places like Northern Ireland. Not a criminal offence but possibly a terminal one. Like Moaists and Bhud... oh forget it. Religion is shit.

This is a normal post I don't entirely agree.
There are laws about not celebrating the nazis or denying the holocaust etc, but I think you can get away with saying Yahweh doesn't exist or Moses is a cunt without any fear of prosecution or a religious death sentence.

This is a normal post Common sense is subjective.
It may not be ok to draw outrageous pictures, but that doesn't mean it should be illegal, or make you subject to vigilante attacks. Saying sick and obnoxious things on Twitter is not ok. But unless it's an incitement to commit acts of violence or other crimes it should not be a police matter. However the police are spending more and more time investigating and charging Twitter trolls. It's pathetic.

This is a normal post The BBC prosecutes 180,000 people each year who have avoided paying the £140 fee
But the HMRC only prosecuted one (of @ 10,000 ) Swedish HSBC customer who avoided paying £1,000s of income tax


And the BBC is about to get even greater powers than HMRC

(numero uno, spanishfly's mate, Sat 14 Feb 2015, 19:59, Reply)
This is a normal post I'll take your first point first.
I think we can poke fun at anyone. As long as we can take the verbal backlash that might ensue. I worked for years with disabled people, you wouldn't believe the gallows humour I witnessed.

2nd point. Poking fun at religion is far more easy to justify, because it is so obviously bollocks. The koran for instance, is the written word of god, as told to Mohammed. Slight problem, Mohammed was illiterate. Why god picked him is a mystery. So he told his mates, who told their mates and eventually the News Of The World serialised it in very accurate Sunday specials as they still do to this day......

And the same goes for the rest. The Sunday Sport existed as a legitimate publication. It broke no laws. But I think we can agree was complete bollocks.
I reserve the right to take the piss out of the Sunday Sport as much as I take the piss out of the Bible.

This is a normal post If only the followers of Islam would admit there is a problem
in that their faith inspires and engenders so much hatred, violence, homophobia, misogyny etc.
 (I helped save b3ta! Prufrock Lucifer, son of the morning!, Sat 14 Feb 2015, 18:29, Reply)
This is a normal post It's the creation of outgroups
which causes all those problems.

You know, like saying ALL muslims support terrorism, without any evidence to back that up. That kind of thing.

Football seems to have a problem with hatred, violence, homophobia, misogyny etc too.

If you want more jokes and less political correctness about muslims, then what do you think we should do about the rise in hate crime against them? Ultimately, when people are worried about offending muslims, that's what they are most worried about.

This is a normal post The Pew Research Center
has conducted extensive polls all over the world asking Muslims about their attitudes to apostasy, women's right, homosexuality, rule of law etc etc. The results are presented country by country. It makes for shocking and uncomfortable reading and reveals extremely prevalent views held by Muslims the world over. I urge you to look it up. It is hard data. The whole 'everything is fine, there are just a few nutters with extreme views that just happen to subscribe to this faith' cant is just trite wishful thinking.

Because it ain't pure.

Absolute nihilists.

Only the absence of humans, including themselves, and everything they have ever created can be truly pure.

This is a normal post I've seen that Pew Resaerch Center data.
The thing that most struck me about was it failed to poll what non Muslims in each country thought of the same issues, making it completely useless as a piece of research to see if Islam is the cause of their views.

This is a normal post Er...
given that all the questions directly or indirectly related to Islam, and that most of the surveys were conducted in countries with an overwhelming muslim majority, I'm not sure why they would question non Muslims. It was explicitly and overtly research into views held by Muslims mainly in the muslim world.

This is a normal post If you are using it as an
argument that Islam is somehow different to other religions, then it would be relevant to compare data.

I suspect the Christian attitude to homosexuality wouldn't be particularly liberal, especially in places like Uganda.

But unless you have a regional baseline to compare it with (a cultural norm), you cannot point to any particular opinion and blame Islamic influence for it.

This is a normal post Because I can see there is a problem, and I have the temerity to point out there is a problem,
and the sense to see that the problem is somewhat more specific than just "humans are cunts", but this is problematic for those who want to pretend that there is no problem.

This is a normal post Unfortunately that problem seems to be an ultra conservative interpretation of Islam whose clerics command obediance from the Saudi ruling elite and society at large
which is going to make tackling that problem a bit tricky as long as oil prices fuel our economies, and that oil wealth from Saudi Arabia is going overseas spreading the good word of Wahhabism, turning relatively normal people into psychotic nutters
