The question is, How far do people want the government to go to enforce laws prohibiting blasphemy?
Yes, as I said say anything you want but be responsible or accountable for it. But to show a picture of a pediphile like the so-called Prophet Mohammed, is that ‘fighting words’? And if so, is a legit response murder?
Is it blaspheme to say Islam is not a religion, that Muslims are more like Nazis, who should renounce their evil beliefs, should realize that the anger, hate, and abuse promoted and defended by Islam is wrong, evil, and not compatible with civilized societies? Islam, like Nazi beliefs, must be rooted out from everywhere and from whatever street corner they are at or rock they are hidden under. No quarter should be given to Islam.
The average American of today doesn’t even know what “To Blaspheme” really means, mainly because they have grown up unchurched, unexposed to that formal vocabulary of spiritual matters. Then the second third will quickly brand any expressed disagreement with THAT religion as “Blasphemous”, in a small brained, No Tolerance way; one besmirchment fits all occasions. The last third of people thinks the public expression of any religious matter
to be ‘Blasphemous”.
1. Americans are morons. They don’t know what “blaspheme” even means.
2. They could have meant you don’t have the moral, ethical, or right before God to blaspheme Him.
Complete liberal spin that you’d NEVER see if the issue were Last Temptation of Christ, Da Vinci Code, Book of Mormon, Family Guy saying Christ died from anal sex, or whatever.
But now they want to show Muslims are right?? Insanity.
mohammed was a child rapist.
I’ll retain my First Amendment Rights in the face of a hail of bullets if necessary.
But first, I’d prefer to take out a whole bunch of jihadis....
Ask Publius.
RE: mohammed was a child rapist.
Well, his defenders would say Aisha consented so it wasn’t rape-rape ( even though she was only 9 ).
The question is do you have the power to blapheme? In a free society we do. Do you have the right is up for grabs and dependent on circumstances. If a religion is really a religion respect for it would proably be in order. If a religion is a cover for immoral and violent behaviors it should be condemned even if its adherants cry blasphemy. Perhaps there is even a duty to do so.
We need to start making fine distinctions and act prudently and courageously. Right power duty prudence courage respect.
Now here's a thought for you all. The moose limbs are bowing down to other gods... and that is a sin. There is only one true God. However, that being the case, why shouldn't Christians be publicly be calling moose limbs out on their sin? 1 Timothy 5:20 Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.
Al I said to my wife was, “Even Jehovah would say that was a lovely piece of halibut.”
I think by Islamic doctrine to say “Jesus Christ is the son of God and only trust in Him results in heaven”, is blasphemy of the highest order. Thus any true Christian would always be insulting Mohammad by being in disagreement with him. One could not say that Allah is not God, nor that Mohammad was not a prophet without being blasphemous. Thus if blasphemy against any religion is illegal, All Christianity, even within the walls of a church, would be illegal. Since each religion in some way contradicts other religions, all religions would be found blasphemous and illegal other than the one followed by those in power.
The result would be similar. A generation of kids under 30 has been raised and steeped in their prime directive. Hurt feelings are the trump over every other value for them.
It is hard to believe but they truly believe that if you are hurting someones feelings, you need to be stopped by nearly any means.
One can only blaspheme God. Not religion or false gods.
