20th of May - Everybody Draw Mohammed Day

[TheDivineBoss]

According to the laws of free speech I am entitled to announce that today is Everybody Muhammed Day.

"If you're young and vote right, you got no heart. If you're older and don't vote right, then you got no brain."

Resistance from the staff and other people is expected, but that merely shows you that you are against freedom of speech and everything else that the free world represents.

I need a new beer.

This is rather inappropriate to post it here. I don't think many people will appreciate it, :|

Freedom of speech is fine, but not if it's offensive to one's religion and culture, imo.

If one extremist side is allowed to be offensive and the other can't, then who is the offensive one?

Extremism isn't a reaction to us: we are the reaction of their extremism.

If everyone took an eye for an eye, the world would be blind.

Credits to Ghandi.

We know that resistance is futile.

 

[Tleno]

You wanna get Ralle assasinated by Musslims?!
On the other hand, this can turn out as a new meme! Period!

 

[Etzer]

Jyllands posten (From Denmark) were stupid to post Muhammed crap. Draw your own God >.<

 

[Tleno]

Well Southpark made a parody on Mohammed too, then they apologised and said they made parodies on other religions too, so usslims forgived to Southpark creators. So you can draw as much god as you want if you'll draw your god first and if you'll ask to be forgiven.

 

[Devine]

See how I put him on a cross so he actually is Jesus who we can draw?

 

[Firelord213]

I advice all other Muslims to ignore this thread, As there is no point in argumenting.

 

[Huurka]

 

[Tleno]

Well, actually Huurka has a point, it would be better to have a day of making parodies on all the religions, not only Islam. This way it won't offend any religion very much and will be more fun than just one.

 

[Nudl9]

The whole deal with Mohammed and freedom of speech has gotten out of hand. Sure it is OK to have freedom of speech, but we have already proven a point. So continuing like this is sort of like bullying muslims.

 

[Huurka]

Freedom of speech never was/is in jeopardy, and people seem to mix muslims and extreme muslims together.

Islam the religion of peace.

You're a Muslim?

Islam the religion of peace.

"Peace" also knows "Judgement" and "Punishment".

 

[Arowanna]

I lol at religion...
I'm not trying to be hostile, but for fuck sake?
Who cares if your religion is "mocked"? Damn, everything is being "mocked" all the time :S

Mocking with religion is way worse then just mocking a person or an idea.

The thing is, people tend to take offense about all kinds of bullshit. You can't change the mindset of a whole culture and I'm not talking about the Muslims only, but the followers of other religions, political ideas, people of a certain skin color, gender, whatever.

No matter how ignorant it is to respond to a joke with such hostility, it's best not to push it.

 

[TheDivineBoss]

In my opinion religions are nothing more than (mega)corporations that drive on one shared god: Money.

Period.

But I agree that everything can (and must) be mocked, not only Islam, though Muslims think otherwise. You are weak if you are easily offended.

And what about Buddhism?

 

[TheDivineBoss]

And what about Buddhism?

Money divided in several monies but still function as one.


I propose we should design a wikipedia page about money as a god. The world must know.

The view of the general world differs from yours.

I don't see your point justifying anything.

Buddhist monks don't ask for money.

Religion. Money. Capitalism.

Does this ring a bell Zombibibi?

 

[M0rbid]

This is another religion related thread that will go outof hand, i suggest closing it before the trolling and flaming starts.
It's really in a way sad to say, that this thread will turn into such a thread, but IT'S SURE.

You don't pray to Tesco or ask for guidance regarding a better life.

I hope you're being sarcastic about that first part. Unless you're truly religious, you wouldn't understand the feeling it brings, so that's just ignorance on your part but something out of your control nonetheless.

Regardless, I'm all for freedom of speech, but this isn't the way to go about it. Do you honestly think the people that mock Islam on this occasion are doing it for freedom of speech, when their "freedom of speech" is being limited in a myriad of other ways? They're just poking fun childishly to get a reaction. The people that protest to these kinds of things grew up with a different mindset than the rest of you, if you ever go to an Arab country you'd kind of see my point. Being rabidly defensive of your religion has become a sort of cultural phenomenon in youth especially; a result of all the political turmoil in the Middle East. And then, the people they blame start mocking the only thing left that's dear to them, how do you expect them to react?

It won't kill you to compromise your freedom temporarily with a single exception, if only to spare an already desensitized and abused people even more frustration. When we're through the rough patch and the retarded fundamentalist islamic extremist trend dies down, go ahead and draw Mohammad to your heart's content. Would it really kill you to delay your islam-mocking cravings for a little while?


Both sides are as ignorant as the other.

People who yell, "Fire!" in a crowded movie theater aren't exercising freedom of speech. They're exercising their right to be a complete asshole and cause pandemonium that has real potential to get someone injured, or worse. Likewise, the movie theater is exercising their right to keep you off their property forever. It is their property, after all. They merely allow you to be there.


The Hive is no different. Sure, anybody can be here. But if you're going to be a complete asshole, we can exercise our right to not have to put up with you.


A private organization may censor you, and that is their right, but they cannot prevent you from saying what you want in a publicly owned place, as that is not their right.
