Hello Dan, hello SBH,
Why did the the cops MURDER those innocent terrorists? We need to capture them alive, torture them for information and then kill them. The scumbags died too quickly :(

I thought the US policy was, when extremists wanted to play OK Corral, to let 'em.

Oh right, that's only when it's one someone else's land.

The cartoon event may be considered to be a provocation by an anti-Islam hate group.

Stop Islamization of America (SIOA) (also known as the American Freedom Defense Initiative) is an American extreme right-wing organization that has been widely described as Islamophobic. It calls itself a "human rights organization dedicated to free speech, religious liberty and individual rights."[9] The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) lists SIOA as a hate group.

I won't quote you Apoc, but listen, you aren't helping Muslims trust other people in our society. You are a scab and a plague on society.

The question is what are Muslims doing to help the rest of society trust them? I would like to see Muslims protest the actions of terrorists, instead of calling for the death of infidels.

The SPLC is a hate group. They put Roosh (a harmless PUA) on the hate speech list. They should go fuck themselves.

It would be similar to opening an abortion clinic next door to the Westboro Baptist Church in Kansas or screening Brokeback Mountain at the Guns for Christ annual conference.

If you are able to buy property next to the baptists it's completely within your rights. Do you think any of the baptists would open fire the same day you are opening the clinic? It's possible but highly unlikely as they have not been violent.

16   mell   2015 May 4, 8:03am  

Btw. this is an interview of a (self-proclaimed, reasonable) feminist with Roosh, the guy who is on the SPLC "hate speech" list.

https://vimeo.com/116015349

This is the very definition of freedom, that 2 people with opposing views can have a civil discourse without being physically or politically harassed or character-assassinated.

17   Blurtman   2015 May 4, 8:16am  

Nobody is saying that the assailants at the cartoon conference were justified. And it seems to be overreach by the SPLC with regards to the Roosh fellow, whom I had never heard of before. But if you are going to purposefully antagonize folks, even though you are within your rights, you have to expect a violent reaction to your provocation.

In America - no one should "expect" to be killed by a fucking cartoon.

20   socal2   2015 May 4, 8:45am  

Also funny how Blurtman has the "Obey" avatar and is essentially telling people we must "obey" the primitive 7th century sensitivities of Jihadis or expect a violent reaction.

Sigh. Selective libertarian ignorance. From the Wikipedia article on abortion clinic violence:

March 10, 1993: Dr. David Gunn of Pensacola, Florida was fatally shot during a protest. He had been the subject of wanted-style posters distributed by Operation Rescue in the summer of 1992. Michael F. Griffin was found guilty of Gunn's murder and was sentenced to life in prison.[11]
July 29, 1994: Dr. John Britton and James Barrett, a clinic escort, were both shot to death outside another facility, the Ladies Center, in Pensacola. Rev. Paul Jennings Hill was charged with the killings. Hill received a death sentence and was executed on September 3, 2003. The clinic in Pensacola had been bombed before in 1984 and was also bombed subsequently in 2012.
December 30, 1994: Two receptionists, Shannon Lowney and Lee Ann Nichols, were killed in two clinic attacks in Brookline, Massachusetts. John Salvi was arrested and confessed to the killings. He died in prison and guards found his body under his bed with a plastic garbage bag tied around his head. Salvi had also confessed to a non-lethal attack in Norfolk, Virginia days before the Brookline killings.
January 29, 1998: Robert Sanderson, an off-duty police officer who worked as a security guard at an abortion clinic in Birmingham, Alabama, was killed when his workplace was bombed. Eric Robert Rudolph, who was also responsible for the 1996 Centennial Olympic Park bombing, was charged with the crime and received two life sentences as a result.
October 23, 1998: Dr. Barnett Slepian was shot to death with a high-powered rifle at his home in Amherst, New York.[12] His was the last in a series of similar shootings against providers in Canada and northern New York state which were all likely committed by James Kopp. Kopp was convicted of Slepian's murder after being apprehended in France in 2001.
May 31, 2009: Dr. George Tiller was shot and killed by Scott Roeder as Tiller served as an usher at a church in Wichita, Kansas.

From the WIkipedia article on George Tiller's murder:

Wiley Drake, vice-presidential candidate for the America's Independent Party ticket in 2008 and the second vice president of the Southern Baptist Convention in 2006–2007, asked on his radio show, "Would you have rejoiced when Adolf Hitler died during the war? ... I would have said, 'Amen! Praise the Lord! Hallelujah! I'm glad he's dead.' This man, George Tiller, was far greater in his atrocities than Adolf Hitler, so I am happy; I am glad that he is dead."

Sigh - more lame moral equivalence by Libs trying to give radical Islam a pass. You have to go back a quarter century to find enough examples of "Christian Terrorists" to match the death toll ISIS inflicts in a single day.

And for every Christian nutter going after abortion doctors in America, you got this guy - and who knows how many more not being reported? Want to compare the death toll?
http://www.cnn.com/2013/05/13/justice/pennsylvania-abortion-doctor-trial/

ISIS apparently killed 300 more Yazidis over the weekend.

Muslims make up about 1% of the US population, but their coreligionists have managed to rack up a pretty high death count here at home when you add WTC1993, 9/11, Fort Hood and Boston.

You specifically said this:

Seems clear to me that you are saying that we should expect to be murdered in America if we draw cartoons and insult radical Muslims. Therefore, best to "obey" primitive Sharia Law and stay safe - right?

What?

ISIS is utterly evil, but I see little evidence that Christians don't know how to kill. More of a wealth of evidence so vast for the other conclusion. What to pick... what to pick...

Therefore, best to "obey" primitive Sharia Law and stay safe - right? - Weighing the chances of violence and not proceeding would not be obeying Sharia law anymore than steering clear of an armed right wing nut job would mean allegiance to his viewpoints.

In other words, we should OBEY Sharia law in America to avoid the potential of violence.

Sharia is also against gays. If they start targeting gay weddings and night clubs here in America, will you tell the gay population that they should "steer clear" (OBEY) as well?

34   Reality   2015 May 4, 10:30am  

IIRC, Sharia laws also forbid television because it makes images of human beings. . . That begs the question how the ISIS produces those video footage and put them on the internet? How can their followers even be allowed under their rule to watch those video footages? How did they square that circle?

If I do not consume alcohol because I find the effects to be unpleasant, as well as the taste, I am not following Sharia law. I just don't like booze.

My icon comes from the movie They Live. If you haven't seen it, I recommend it. For me the movie is about the dangers of government and societal mandated behaviors and the efforts to control the population. The plot is a bit far fetched, but with special sunglasses, you can see what is really being broadcast and advertised to you - Consume, Obey, Conform.

Anyway the hero, Rowdy Roddy Piper, gets a shotgun and begins blasting the authority figures. I think he might have gotten a few Wall Street types.

My icon is the politician, who could be a senator but more likely the supreme leader, i.e., president. He gives a corny speech about how everything will get better and bright days are ahead. It could be any politician's speech today. Check it out if you haven't seen it. You have to like sci fi and be willing to go with the plot.

I've seen the movie. I'm a fan of John Carpenter and that is why I have been tweaking you on the whole "obey" thing.

PC Liberalism both in the government and culture is the biggest force trying to mandate behavior and force conformity. In this case we have many liberal people essentially saying that Pamela Geller had it coming by daring to offend primitive Sharia Law. Basically, the skirt was too skimpy rape excuse.

Garry Trudeau (the ultimate PC lib) said the same thing about the Charlie Hebdo victims last month.

Now, we have Libs using the power of the State to force people to bake cakes for gay weddings.

When you're reaction reaches violence (especially involving guns) in Texas - gonna be a bad day for you. We live in a (supposedly) free speech country. I'm assaulted EVERY DAY by nonsense that offends me, so? In turn I'm sure some of what I say offends others, I don't take out a gun because I'm offended, and I'm more than happy to use my gun on someone who does think that his gun will solve the free speech insult that he's suffering from.
