Yes, yes. Sorry, Mo. You're right.
Absolutely every action, no matter how selfless the act, is in some way selfish. I know that, I just thought you had a better example.
--- Quote from: Mo ---My point is both of these sides are wrong. Yes I agree that killing people because they offended you is worse but that's besides the point.
--- End quote ---
If both are wrong, then what is right? Just that you shouldn't disrespect people's religion, or what? Elaborate.
--- Quote from: Meclar ---Do you think freedom of speech can be exercised frivolously?
--- End quote ---
Freedom of speech can be exercised any way desired, otherwise it wouldn't really be freedom, would it?
You guys are offending me. I believe you should practice restraint, because you're disrespecting my religion and I believe it's wrong for you to do that.
My religion states that it is wrong, disrespectful, and selfish of others to believe anything other than my religion. Just saying.

There is a legal limit to freedom of speech. For instance yelling "fire" in a crowded theater simply to create a stampede is against the law. Freedom of speech does not extend to people intentionally inciting a riot or inciting violence.
So, to answer your question: Yes, and it is against the law.

Simple. Try not to put people down. It's really not a difficult concept. Maybe it's way ahead of it's time, I dunno. You people are so worked up over freedom of speech (which is great don't get me wrong) that you easily justify anything someone says. Problem is, you are also really small minded about it. What good comes of blatantly insulting someone? That's what South Park does. No good came of putting Mohammad in a freaking bear costume ffs.

I would argue that the people who are offended by the opinions and statements of perfect strangers are the ones who are small minded. As are those people that try to force their religion on others through threats and violence. Those people need to get a helmet if they want to live in a world with the rest of us.
As for the good that would come from illustrating Muhammad. Maybe if everyone started drawing pictures of Muhammad then the Muslims would get over themselves and stop killing people over nothing.
