Shots fired & two people killed at the Muhammad cartoon contest convention in Texas.

[KAL-EL]

It's a pity that folks here seem concerned about a cartoon but don't care when their fellow muslims are killed, and or not allowed to observe the religion in China. OR when their own simply butcher other fellow muslims.

The fact is overwhelming majority of Americans would call this competition done in poor taste, and typical provocation by the nutty hard right. However, when you start defending violent behavior as a response, as I noticed on this thread, you only manage to get those majorities to go against you.

Count me in as one of those Americans. I think it was probably done in poor taste. I would never take part in an event like this. People with poor taste certainly don't deserve death over it though.

it is also rather disturbing that some in the thread seem to be giving tacit and semi-implied approval of the shooters actions.

In the same vein, an overwhelming majority of Muslims would duly condemn violence, however, when you keep holding such contests in the pretext of freedom of speech, you only mange to get those majorities to go against you and that is exactly what you see here. You are demanding for a limitless and unconditional tolerance while you are not ready or willing to stop those things that you mildly put as 'distasteful', which in essence are extremely painful for the Muslims. This basically shows that you have zero consideration for the Muslim's feelings and their attachment towards their Prophet (PBUH) and you are hellbent on treating them like shit.

where is osama?

Found in Pakistan, killed and tossed into the ocean. Its been 4 years. Where have you been?

 

[Foggy_Bottom]

Americans killed millions in persuit of WMD, where are they, where is osama?

Correction: Muslims killed tens of thousands of muslims in Iraq and more than any other group or country. There were no millions that died in Iraq. and Osama was killed in Pakistan.

"black lives matter" lmao. doesn't all lives matter

lol , like George orwell said , all lives matter but some don't really matter

 

[syedali73]

Your examples are not logical comparisons. You seem to not grasp islamic terrorism or seem to be a defender of it.

I would rather say it is you who are a defender of Islamophobe terrorism.

 

[KAL-EL]

I am not justifying the shooters but people like you are a shame who justify a hate filled,racist and anti-religious stupid contest organised by sick minded bigots.

I highly suggest you read post #64 to see what "people like me" are thinking about this specific situation, instead of assuming and making over dramatic statements. Ok? Thanks!

it's only a problem when it's a non-black killing them, but a black person is more likely to be killed by a fellow black
324,000 U.S. Blacks Killed by Blacks In Only 35 Years | American Free Press

and there is abortion which has killed millions of unborn black babies
Abortion Killed 19 Times as Many Blacks as Murder
but's it cops and old white people that is the problem

and Iran, Muslims,Christians, Athetists can draw Jesus all they want in any light they want?? but is it worth killing over

well friend , if you read my post like it was , you see i'm not against blacks killing other blacks , I said these ISIS sleeper cells ruined the black- white fight in the US that has been going on for a year now...

why tossed in the ocean

will they allow a contest for drawing best picture of a Nigga or holocost?

Almost no Pakistani on pdf defends terrorists neither is anyone defending the shooters. We are criticizing the sick minded people who hold such hate filled and stupid contests.

Which basically gives a tacit approval to the contests by mildly putting them as 'distasteful'.

 

[Water Car Engineer]

it's about time that iran stops beating around the bush and draws cartoons of jesus instead of the holocaust.

It's funny cause Jesus is used in satire all the time in the US.

example

explain in further detail please.

you might not care about blacks killing one another which is no surprise since the left doesn't care either

and what ISIS sleeper cells?

 

[jammersat]

why tossed in the ocean

to mock the Islamic rituals of burial

I personally think it wasn't in good taste and I wouldn't have participated in it. I wouldn't kill people over it though. So do you have a comment on the shooters? On the actual event that transpired?
