“They are not rightly inspired to murder, but they are rightly angered.”
No.
They are not rightly angered. Just as the criminal has no right to anger for his prison sentence, the moslems have no right to anger when their satanic religion is ridiculed. By their works they are known.
When they forswear murder, rape, pillage, plunder, and slavery as just punishments to be meted out by them against those they perceive as infidels, then they will have a claim for respect for their religion. Until such time, by according justice to the murderers and rapists in their anger, you are imposing an unjust burden on the victims of islam - the obligation not to protest islam through ridicule and mockery.
The oppressed (and all the earth is oppressed by these demonic savages) have a right to their voice, and they have a right to insult the oppressor. The oppressor acts unjustly if he takes umbrage to the cries of the oppressed as they cry out to Heaven for vengeance.
Imagine a slaveowner being angry at a slave in the antebellum south for mocking his master who has the audacity of thinking he can own another human being. The anger of the owner is unjust. Even if the slave said terrible things, obscene things about the owner, considering the oppression forced on the slave by the owner, the owner should be grateful that is ALL he receives at the hand of the slave. You would defend the anger of the slave owner?
In the current world, the last systematic slavers ARE THE MOHAMMEDANS! They are vicious, evil oppressors! The oppressed mock them because often, the oppressed have no more power than to mock them. And you would defend the mohammadan oppressor against the oppressed?
Whatever else they may do, whomever else they may insult or mock, folks like Charlie Hebdo are calling out the polluted moslems. That is justice. For the polluted ones to take offense is not just.
Donahue is an ass.
"most Muslims are not rapists, murderers, etc. nor supporters of such crimes."
Actually, polls show that the vast majority of moslems throughout the world favor sharia law that dictates murder, rape, pillage and plunder against the non-believers. They are accomplices before, during, and after the fact. That an unbeliever may be justly killed for failure to convert is uncontroversial in most of the islamic world. That the women of those who fight against islam may be taken as war booty and turned into concubines by mohammedan men is uncontroversial (this is rape). That they make take the belongings of those whom they defeat is uncontroversial. That gays should be stoned, apostates murdered, Jews and Christians oppressed and robbed when not killed outright, these are all mainstream, uncontroversial concepts in the islamic world.
Do you remember Sept 11? I do. I remember seeing all the moslems rioting with joy throughout the mohataman world. I remember the savage beasts ululating in arab-occupied Judea and Samaria. Except if a moslem formally denounce these things (and really, formally renounce the satanism of islam), he is guilty of all the crimes approved by his personal beliefs.
"You could call them hypocrites: they are better than their creeds would dictate."
They're not hypocrites. They just haven't had their chance to commit these atrocities yet. Just give them the opportunity, and see what happens.
Over the past decade or so, we tried an experiment. We took a couple of heavily-moslem countries, and tried to give them operational governments, actual freedom, institutions of freedom, elections, trained militaries, everything. At the first chance they got, these countries rejected universal human rights and re-embraced sharia, like a dog going back to its vomit. Afghanistan was largely free of the Taliban, and now the Taliban are regaining their hold on power. Why?
Because that's ultimately what the Afghan people want. They don't want freedom or peace or justice or free speech or free expression or a right to fair trial, or respect for religious pluralism or religious freedom or freedom from cruel and unjust punishment. They fashioned and voted for a constitution that enshrines SHARIA, not the Bill of Rights. As have countless other islamic countries.
Much the same thing happened in Iraq, where, before Saddam was overthrown, had many of the trappings of a relatively-modern, relatively-western society. We freed them from a dictator who was murdering, it's estimated, an extra 60,000 people per year (out of a population of 25 million). What did they vote for? Sectarianism, sharia, one harsh version of islam over another.
If your point is that there are a small minority of devout moslems who don't want to kill us all, well, that's sort of a trivial point to make. There were, I'm sure, some Nazis (the spiritual kin of the islamics) who weren't entirely on board with killing all those Jews, either. Like I said, it's a bitch for that "mainstream, moderate" 5% who don't want to kill us all.

They are like abused woman who want the beatings and hardship stopped but once they leave it only to return...because no matter how burdensome it's “familiar” and “Known”.. and there's comfort in the familiar even if it hurts.
Additionally because of the abusive culture many have psychological and serious problems with freedom...they do not know what it means nor how to conduct themselves with it. Which is why rather than assimilate into their host countries...they build Mosques and Community centers...then eventually their own communities, such as in France and Britain...where they have already established Shariah Law.
It's loosing proposition because they will not change...nor IMO can they..they are wired from childbirth throughout life to live without having to utilize critical thinking skills...so they have none. There are prescious few who escape the Islamic cycle of obediance and adherance to Islam...and even once they convert to Christianity they incoprorate Islam teachings with it.
The 1.6 billion Muslims in this world across the six inhabited continents and across many countries and cultures. They have a great many different styles, elements, commitments, temperaments, customs and convictions concerning their faith. I have no doubt that Islam as a system conforms to St. John's description of the antichrist --- and St. John said there were, and would be, many antichrists. But that does not mean that most Muslims have forfeited their human dignity or their entire claim on human fellow-feeling because of these Muslim homicidalists who are a terror, day in and day out, to other Muslims.
God bless Mo Sabri.
God bless the Muslim Kurds, who took up arms to defend the Yazhidis and the Coptic and Assyrian Christians, when the U.S. and the Iraqi governments would not!
God bless Abdel Fattah el-Sisi who, as Jonah Goldberg notes, is being ignored in the West while making the epochal speech to the most eminent religious scholars of the Middle East,calling for a radical rejection of jihadist ideology.
God bless the Muslim chaplain at Georgetown, Imam Yahya Hendi, who defended the Cross at Georgetown when the damn Jesuits wanted to remove them from the classrooms!
We are tempted to say they are not human. This would be very, very wrong. It's late. Good night now, and God bless you, sitetest.
