U.S. news media avoid Islam cartoons linked to deadly attack in Paris

The cartoons are not an excuse, the actions of the terrorists most certainly could be. There are still ongoing attacks in Paris, what better do you expect?

The artists have been caricaturing all religions, it is not some hypothetical muslims vs RoW Armageddon some people imagine it to be. If they shut shop to save their own hide, well, terrorists win.

Being an Indian and showing such a behaviour is expected from you. We all know where your ill feelings for particularly Muslims stem from. Having said that, you are daydreaming. Nothing is going to happen. The fire that you're happily trying to ignite is nothing, but a little flame that will go off.

For the sake of argument, I'm an artist. Want to see my art?

Do you like it?
Is that your work? Very powerful and hard hitting.

I missed your point though. If you are trying to offend, you have to try harder. In this case I am NOT even hurt. :)

But why criticize any religion in this manner ? Are we not civilized humans with far superior methods of argument ? If they do shut shop and other idiots follow suite then I don't mind letting the terrs win this one.

I thought Indian secular & liberal media would show solidarity with their brethren & publish Charlie Hebdo cartoons to uphold free speech & freedom of expression! :undecided:

Secularism has a different definition in our part of the world.

Oh, you're offended. Don't hide it now. :undecided: "All Indian men are rapists" isn't a particularly nice thing to say.

Why will I be offended? It shows a rapist attempting to rape, not 1.27 Billion Indians. We do those drawings here to protest against such events as well. It is common. :)

Try harder, I promise not to use the report button.

Religion is criticized because a vast chunk of the western world believes that to be acceptable. Muslims are barely 5% of those countries, they have no moral right to impose their views on the majority.

You'd let the terrorists win? Bravo. Apologist.

Oh, you do.

Care to elaborate how you came to that conclusion?

I did not say don't criticize religion...I said that there are far better ways of doing so without having to resort to grown imbeciles making inappropriate cartoons like some juvenile delinquents.
Then what moral right does the West have to impose their corrupt views on our lands...and resort to warfare to do so.
Yes I would let the terrs win because not everything is black and white.

Stop selling BS. Only a handful of miscreants are drawing cartoons and offending religions. This isn't something accepted by each and every person in the West as you claim. Most people in the West seek a friendly and normal relation with immigrants. I was born and bred in a Western society so I speak from experience. Where are you from?

I'm not elaborating anything. I'm just exercising the freedom to speak.

Seriously? This is amusing.

I criticize the conservatives in hindus all the time, including those related to me, so my hatred, if any, is against a particular conservative mindset, not people.

If some pictures can cause a fire, well, that's fucked up.

The freedom of press is accepted by a vast number of people, they may or may not agree with the content.

No, you don't. You're selective in your criticism.

It's not the pictures, but the intent which has caused the fire. Pictures are pieces of paper. It's always the intent. There's a reason why words can be more lethal than swords. It takes two to tango. Never forget.
