I agree. But cop out or not, my point is, is it worth it. Not an excuse but just an obversation.

If it draws attention to the problem and wakes up a lot of sheeple, it is worth it.

Being an independent woman I have a lot more to lose than you guys do. I won't concede under any circumstances and wouldn't be lonely.

Your basic argument is: Christianity doesn't say no pictures of Christ, but Islam does say no pictures of Mohammed, so disrespect Christ and Christians all you want, but don't disrespect Islam because they say so...

Yes, else your life is under constant threat.

Then they have no place in a Western culture.

Western society traditionally is based on Christian values.  As a result the western nations are largely tolerant and accept other faiths and cultures with open arms.  This unfortunately is not reciprocated in other countries.

 

 

Yet the media and general public have absolutely no interest in these medieval style injustices.  Future generations will probably judge our time as a depraved and barbaric era that openly encouraged religious persecution.  A simple UN resolution could be passed that sanctions all nations that persecutes Christians and all other practising faiths.

I would think the the argument is rather that a belief system that reacts with death threats and actual murder when "offended" should not fly under the cover or "religion".

I remember this well. Theo once said that "If you want to protect the people, you will have to bring the poison to the surface".
Theo did this by being very vocal about his feelings for churches and religion, especially Islam and unfortunately he had to pay for this with his life because one disturbed lunatic extremists coward decided to silence Theo.

Theodoor "Theo" van Gogh was a Dutch director and film and television producer, actor and author. May he rest in peace.

North Korea and China are totalitarian dictatorships..... very close to islamic ideology.

Incidentally, China gives its Uigur muslim population the same treatment the muslim countries give to their minorities --- sort of a sad irony.
