If controversy offends these people, they're not qualified to talk about life and they should be disqualified from voting. You're going to find things in life you don't like. And if you can't confront that honestly, you have no right to muzzle other people to compensate for your own insecurities. Freedom carries with it risks. Only societies in which people are forbidden from having their own thoughts run the risk of not being offended. Then again they never change and grow at all. Something to ponder on.
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
Couldn’t agree more, but unfortunately those who believe as you do are a dwindling minority, I’m afraid. At the polls and otherwise.
