I condemn mass murder and what the terrorists did, but Im just looking at it from both angles. I feel the prohibition will save lives, thats more important in my opinion anyway.
Is this the right place for a little Ben Franklin? "Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin"
You're showing the same kind of fundamentalism that you decry.
Really? Is that what you think? Do you see Christians killing to defend the name of Christ?
Jesus (God incarnate) came to reconcile man to God. Without Jesus, there is no salvation. But we do not require you to respect Jesus, nor do we kill those who will not believe. That is your personal choice.
So called "Christian fundamentalism" is not a theology of hatred for others, nor is it a theology of world domination (as Islam is). Jesus, in Matthew 28 (The Great Commission) told us to spread the Gospel (Good News) throughout the world. He did not tell us to "kill the infidel."
Your acceptance or rejection of Christ is a personal choice that you alone must make. "Behold, I stand at the door and knock." You must open the door and let Him in.

No, my truth is God's truth. God has told us what is truth, and His truth is the universal truth. Christianity is not a religion (or "belief system"). Christianity is having a personal relationship with God.
The problem with organized religion is it practically requires one to accept [insert chosen god here] and the ideology specific to their religion in order to obtain or achieve enlightenment, truth, peace, etc. and that all other gods are false.
I call that a religious dictatorship. I couldn't even get a ride to hell because it seems that I'd have to accept Satan and no other.

Others have a personal relationship with god without believing in Jesus .
It most certainly is a belief system/religion.
Yes massacre is worse, however, satire kicked it all off, theres no denying it. With terrorist organizations about, it wasnt wise to put anything out in the public.
yes tell that to the 2000 that was murdered yesterday
and all the beheadings of children
do not believe they were drawing cartoons!!!
or the 3 thousand on 911
they were doing horrible things like boarding air planes and going to work!!
we best not say anything here, lest they come to our house!!!
We need to keep our freedom of speech. I then say when you poke a wild animal with a stick then you will get what you came for and maybe more than you expected.
Look at it this way. While exercising your right to free speech you make a cartoon making fun of a mean ass biker group and you post the cartoon on a power pole out in front of the club house. What do you expect will happen?
you must listen to that hack Mike Gallagher
or whatever his stupid name is
political correctness is killing us
this is the only group of people who KILL you for just not being just like them
KILLERS!!!
religion of peace my butt
Nope, freedom of speech is as much a right for those that want to criticize certain religions as much as it is for those that criticize military interventions and disaster capitalism that contributes to destabilization and radicalization.

Well Sharia law is real. And in the case of Islam, their religion is their law and is carried out.
You go tell a Muslim that their prophet is a made up story.
