Christians do not accept piss Christ, they accept free-speech and do not kill you because you do not agree with them. They can belong in a free society....as a matter of fact you have the ability to blaspheme Christ because we set up this freedom based society because at its core Christianity is a choice you have to make personally.

If you can not tell the difference in the two religions one that will kill you if you mock it, demand you convert or die that has not set up one single freedom based society and one that will just look at you in disgust if you mock it then you have missed the boat by a long shot.

The conversation is about fighting for the right of free-speech, not accepting blaspheming art or not. The conversation is about one religion that can not get along with others without killing and enslaving.

I know that radical Islamists murder people. That isn't the point of this thread, as you are using a diversion.

The point is, can non-murdering Muslims ever join non-murdering Christians (and almost all are) in a march, and temporarily suspend their offense at depictions they don't like in the name of free speech rights?

I think you're right.

Nevertheless, it's wrong for the slogan to be "I am Charlie Hebdo."

If somebody --- deranged or not, religious or not --- ever wipes out the Hustler magazine staff (which I of course firmly and unambiguously condemn), will we protest and show our bona-fides by carrying signs that say, "I AM LARRY FLYNT"?
