حزب الله يدين "استفزاز" شارلي إيبدو "الكبير والمرفوض لمشاعر المسلمين"

je suis Charlie
vive la liberte d expression et vive la democratie

Real Madrid removed the cross from their logo, it's offensive to the Emirati owners.

Badly drawn cartoons “directly contributes to shoring up terrorism, extremism and extremists.”

Assad murdering thousands of unarmed demonstrators during the first six months of the conflict does not “directly contributes to shoring up terrorism, extremism and extremists.”

how tight is that turban bub?

fake

once again the point is missed.....Freedom of speech & insulting others beliefs should not be put in the same category.

As a follower of Christ I will forgive & pray for those who insult my Lord.

But that does not mean I believe people should be able to insult my faith based on this new false claim of "freedom of speech".

The problem with all of this is some Islamists have given these people who mock freely more ammunition.

shame on both sides here.

The cartoons are only offensive to people because deities and prophets cannot get offended, either because they are in heaven and are too busy with more important matters that are happening in the universe or because they do not exist.
And if the subjects of cartoons don't mind, (did you see any fire and brimstone coming down from heaven to destroy Charlie Hebdo?), why are believers offended?
Very simply: lack of education, culture, critical thinking and a serious inferiority complex.

For some "Muslims" (Hizbullah or Al Qaida extremists for instance), everything is a pretext to be angry against others and wage useless wars.

But when people are killed they just don't care. It's ok to kill non-Muslims but they get angry for a caricature. Very sad. Charlie Hebdo's drawing actually put these words in the mouth of the Prophet, and I am sure he would have said those if he was living nowadays: "c'est dur d'être aimé par des cons" (it's hard to be beloved by heblen).

thanks for confirming what I already posted...please take care in reading peoples posts before you launch into it.

First thing I said is I would forgive & pray for those who committed such acts.

whats your point again?

No veritas..you're mistaken....thats not freedom of speech...thats insulting ...

yes Islam has become too extremist & taken the wrong path towards insults directed at them...I already posted that.

But demeaning or insulting other humans is no longer freedom of speech.
This is a lie & distortion to keep people at each other.

If this is freedom of speech, why is the truth not considered freedom of speech? why can't a writer provide the reader with information that shows corrupt Governments? yet insulting & demeaning other humans publicly is freedom of speech?

Why Many normal behaviours are considered "OFFENSIVE" ?
The answer is simple: behind the word offensive there is the will of
"INTOLERANCE and DOMINANCE".
It is time for the rest of the world to understand it and act accordingly.

I usually agree with you Texas but couldn't disagree more with you here, albeit respectfully.

The actions of those in Paris don't reflect Muslims, and unfortunately everything linked to Muslims is a global event despite multiple other forms of terrorism and atrocities. See Edward Said's work on the continual misrepresentation of Islam in western politics and media.

Freedom of speech comes with a measure of responsibility, and insulting religions to prove free speech is plainly irresponsible in any society. If it wasn't, we could all stand in Brooklyn with signs saying we hate nigg..s or in Paris saying the French fell to Germany in a day, or the viche regimes common throughout France during world war 2 were as bad as nazis.

My point, I think most Muslims agree that the finer details we follow shouldn't be enforced on others, but you cannot trivially equivocate them with a cartoon that offends a religion, promotes hatred, and is irresponsible free speech.

Still funny, how you guys claim to be supporters of free speech.
Where was the freedom of expression, when this cartoonist got fired for drawing greedy jews?

Flamethrower's favorite TV series is "Mesih". It's an Iranian epic productions about the life of Jesus Christs from the Ayatollah's perspective. It is based mostly on the original Barnabas Bible, a tome Iran's Basij Press nonprovocatively claimed "will bring down Christianity and shake world politics" certainly an acceptable and justified claim. Very respectful of the sentiments of the more than 2.4 billion Christians worldwide! So much Al Manar and NBN were anxious to share it with all the Lebanese population at large in the name of respecting sentiments and freedom of speech. It's not like there was a comedian in a Hassan Nasrallah getup in it, right?

I always said ISIS and HA are two sides of the same coin. Replace the yellow with black and they look the same.
"HA describing the move as a “major provocation against the sentiments of more than 1.5 billion Muslims.”
Wrong HA, the only ones offended deeply are you and ISIS (1.5 Million not Billion).

You really have a pathetic life Taqiya thrower! You spend your entire existence insulting people, no less on a website that you claim is unfair and biased against you.

Nasrallah: "a “major provocation against the sentiments of more than 1.5 billion Muslims.”"

let's see is it that Muslim militants killed 2,000 villagers in Nigeria...no
Oh it must be that Assad killed more than 100,000 Syrians ... no
Then it must be the Saudi blogger that is imprisoned and beaten for this liberal views...no
Surely it must be the acid attacks on women in the Islamic Republic of Iran...nope
Of course, it is the lack of scientific discoveries and lack of books published in Arab countries...nope
It is a cartoon published in a French publication...mmm
No wonder the Middle East is hopeless.

The roaring lion
I fully agree that - as a Christian - I ought to love others and behave accordingly. But do I really do it? There is room for improvement.
By the way, let me remind you that as a Christian you have obligations to safeguard Christians of Lebanon and the Middle East. To that end you must - absolutely must - stop supporting traitors who are destroying the Christians of Lebanon. Trust me the Caporal is a traitor beyond anything you can imagine. Just think about it.

Mastica
I really pity you. You are a lost case. I do not see any chance for your recovery. However, I have no hard feelings against you. It is your comments that are illogic and wrong. Where do you get your disinformation from?
In all cases, God bless you.

There are moderate Muslims, yes but there is no such thing called moderate Islam, Islam is Islam wake up and stop letting them washing you with this propaganda. "If they don't concede to your faith, you have the right of their lives, their women, their possessions" it's in the Quran, so what they're doing around the world is simply following what their prophet told them.

nice indian movie;)

This a time when one say things as they are: as it is, all this "Je suis Charlie" business is wrong to its core, almost everyone with a sane mind supports freedom of speech, yet the same goes, freedom of speech does not mean freedom to insult the sacred values of others. Charlie has insulted not only the holy Prophet Muhammad, (saws) and Islam, but also Jesus (A.S) and Christianity. No one should impose his will on others, hence that is the time when C.H's so called freedom of speech has lost all forms of responsibility.

DF, these sods are hypocrites, you should see what such people do when they go home for Iftar, they eat all the things they can lay their hands on. Still, there are good Muslims and damn hypocrite Muslims whose presence is only here to taint the good ones. Sad, but such is life.

Anyone who beleives this attack on france was perpetrated out of the blue is a moron just look at all the freedom being taken away from the dumb french as we speak look at the US and britain how their freedoms have all but vanished i call it convenient terrorism it serves a higher purpose ie enslaving humanity further by limiting their freedoms.

JSL, me too I long suspected these plots, it's truly scary. At first I refused to believe that such plots could be conceivable, but now it seems more and more obvious that as you rightly called it, "convenient terrorism" is being used more and more on nations for states to get to their ultimate goals. Masalan, all this Ebola business in West Africa, all of a sudden just like this?!

Congrats to all for a civil and passionate debate. It does not happen here often, and I blame myself first for that.

tolerating (meaning being tolerant) the caricature of anything - sacred or not - after all it is plainly not true - is a sign of a superior intelligence, wiseness and philosophical mind.
Above all, it is legal in the country of origin of Charlie Hebdo... those who feel offended (simple minded or intolerants or bigots) can do one thing; not buy the newspaper, and not read the blogs or pages that refers to it.
