Okay, we are way early for the actual draw Muhammad Day, but as a response to the Muslim extremists who attacked the publisher of Muhammad cartoons in France, I thought I would start this thread.

So what is the better response... appease them and try our best not to hurt their feelings? Sorry -- they don't deserve to be treated with kid's gloves.

Im not saying try our best not to hurt their feelings but obviously we're not dealing with logical people here, and doing the exact thing that made them kill 12 people isn't really gonna achieve anything.

If we stop doing whatever it is they don't want us to do, then they have won.
They have no right to not be offended. If a drawing of Muhammad offends you, cry me a river and grow up (not you speedfreak -- the offended muslim out there).

Unfortunately we're dealing with mentally ill people who show up with aks and start blasting away...

“Religion, a mediaeval form of unreason, when combined with modern weaponry becomes a real threat to our freedoms. This religious totalitarianism has caused a deadly mutation in the heart of Islam and we see the tragic consequences in Paris today. I stand with Charlie Hebdo, as we all must, to defend the art of satire, which has always been a force for liberty and against tyranny, dishonesty and stupidity. ‘Respect for religion’ has become a code phrase meaning ‘fear of religion.’ Religions, like all other ideas, deserve criticism, satire, and, yes, our fearless disrespect.” –Salman Rushdie
Edit -- a thread like this is what earned me one infraction on GTAM, from Sircastic -- he said I was trolling and apparently didn't like criticism about Muhummad taking a 9 year old wife.
The problem with this is that you are not only insulting the terrorist, you are actually insulting millions of Muslims which had nothing to do with it.
Terrorist should be Alienated, we shouldn't give others reasons to join them.
I am as white as it can be, and find the notion of been offended by a cartoon dumb, but that does not mean that my beliefs should shit on others peoples beliefs, and that is what you are doing here.
You have an opinion but should respect others beliefs even if you disagree with them, dumn ass mentalities like yours are the ones that make terrorist stronger and allow them to recruit more people
There is a reason Obama sent Bin Laden's body to the bottom of the Ocean, he could have parade his dead body and make fun of it, but he was smart enough to respect the Muslim ceremony and gave him a proper funeral, so he didn't become a martyr
Anyways, I don't expect you to understand and probably will just come up with some rant

If you get offended when someone mocks your silly beliefs, maybe you shouldn't hold on to such silly beliefs.
What does being white have to do with anything? There are tons of white Muslims. I'm not attacking a race, I'm attacking a religion.
I also know that most Muslims are not terrorists or even support any of this nonsense, hell, I lived in Indonesia for over three years and damn near married a Muslim chick. That doesn't mean I can't remark on or make fun of their religion. People need to grow a thicker skin.

So go ahead and make fun of my silly beliefs and see how I respond. Hint, I very likely won't respond violently, I probably won't even get upset, and I definitely won't go protest or demand stuff is not printed.

I also agree with this.. but not everyone has this kind of temperment.
Those people obviously can't rationalize like adults and deserve to be made fun of.
The sooner everyone realizes they are nothing special, their feelings don't matter so suck it up and grow up, the better.
You aren't owed anything in this world, certainly not the right to not be ridiculed.
Those people? Who? the terrorists? then I agree so you should go and make drawings of terrorists, WTF any good does drawing Mohamed pictures do?
Muslims? then i disagree
The point is that when people like you, shit on a religion that has millions of followers all you are doing is giving reasons for the crazy ones to say "see told you" to the young easy to impress ones.
We are in a free country and you have the right to do whatever the f_ _k you want, all I am trying to explain is that this thread is an example of the mentality that draws the line people two people. f_ _k with Terrorists all you want, don't however f_ _k with people that have done nothing to you, because if you do all you are is an ignoramus as demonstrated by your Original post.
Anyways, I got nothing else to add, have fun!

Those people that yetti was referring to in the post above mine.
Anyway you be the kinder gentler person, and I'll make fun of things I think are ridiculous. If you don't like what I do, feel free to criticize it, I don't mind.
