No. Making fun of anybody’s religion is wrong, no matter how misguided or evil we may think that religion is.
I hope FR shuts it down.
Freedom of speech is an essential right and I’d die for the right of FR to do this contest mocking a religion.
However, I am religious and my religion teaches me not to mock other faiths. My religion teaches me to treat others as I wish to be treated and I would like my religion to be respected.
Other faiths are fine for other people. My rabbis taught me to respect that other people have their own ways. One of the reasons I love my religion is that it doesn’t purport to be the only or the best. It only purports to be the best for ME.
The content of one’s character can’t be rationalized legally. The Klansman is printed in this country, and the guards outside the building have never been shot. Mocking religion is to be legally tolerated even if it is difficult, as It is, for blacks and Jews to tolerate such filth being printed.
If FR allows mocking of a religion that is also not a legal issue, it’s a content of one’s character issue. Same with this TX contest. It’s in bad taste but it’s perfectly legal and should be.
I was offended by Piss Christ and Book of Mormon. I defend to the death the artists’ right to create them, but I don’t think mocking a faith is ok if you just don’t like that particular faith.
So you are ok with Sharia Law since that is just as offensive to most Mooselimbs to ignore.
Pray America is waking
I don’t think that opposition to a faith brought about by the wholesale slaughter and rape practiced by adherents of that faith in obedience to the written scripture of that faith falls into a category of irrational prejudice.
I also assert that it is impossible to shift the focus from the behavior which caused the mockery with out outright defending said actions. No matter how many tortured and twisted rationalizations the defender makes.
We can't even make fun of evil?
How do we fight evil if we can't even mock it? Fighting evil would be even more offensive, right??
I think it’s safe to say that Islam is not a religion. It uses “religion” as a Trojan Horse, but is really an imperial ideology; an insane death cult intent on world domination disguised as a religion.
” Same with this TX contest.”
I think you should go to the organizations website and view the video from last night.
Then come back and post what you saw and heard.
“but I don’t think mocking a faith is ok if you just don’t like that particular faith.”
This is NOT about just ‘not liking’ a particular religion. It is about exposing a movement that threatens the core of our liberty and life.
We seem to be in the minority.
Yeah. You're right. We sure wouldn't want to offend the wonderful faith and customs of these fine people, or something...
