Terror attacks

[Clappingforjoy]

So aibu to think that anybody that draws cartoons of the prophet is asking for trouble and to wonder why the hell they do it and risk been attacked in the most barbaric way why oh why risk it.

If you know that your actions will cause unrest then why do this.

because where does it end ? Anybody who is willing to decapitate someone for a picture is a crazy fanatic who in all probability would not approve of any of our lifestyles.

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” ― Edmund Burke

Never appease bullies. Never pay a kidnapper. Never choose who to obey based on how insanely violent they are. If you do, you will end up in a society controlled by the most evil people.

This.

The people who speak up should be applauded for taking a stand and we should fully back them up. No one deserves to be killed, much less in a medieval barbaric way.

What exactly is drawing a cartoon achieving anyway

Better get The Guardian to stop making mocking cartoons of Trump in that case as it might offend his supporters and bring violence upon Guardian cartoonists! You don't want to offend them now do you, that wouldn't be right according to your logic .

Dangermouse yes agreed but the fact is they are out there so dont draw the cartoons and bring them out of hiding

You honestly think they will stay in "hiding" if there were no cartoons?

Do you also believe the Catholics who were just murdered by terrorists in France were asking for it by going in to a church to pray?

Good point @monstermancs I found the Trump blimp funny. Do the organisers deserve retribution from Trump fanatics.

I'm sorry but if I was a man with kids family etc I wouldnt do things to put myself in danger I would be looking over my shoulder all of the time

You shouldn't have to.

@Clappingforjoy

I agree that the actions of the perpetrators are barbaric and uncivilized and medieval but knowing there is somebody out there who is capable of this level of violence would deter me

A lot of people are thankfully a great deal braver than you, OP, and the world is a more honest place for it.

Oha or daft

going to church is a innocent activity but to goad with cartoons isnt

@Clappingforjoy so why were the church victims targeted?

What about the poor old lady that was almost decapitated because somebody goaded

Wrong place wrong time because somebody did a dick move

The victims at the Ariana Grande concert?

You must be a fucking loony op, to come on the Internet basically stating that anyone daring to make fun of a fucking prophet deserves to die in a brutal way.

She was decapitated because the fucker was a rabid fanatic. Using it as an excuse for violence. Not because of someone being 'goady'. The only dick move was by the twat killing her.

So if someone offends me by telling a racist joke it's fine for me to chop their heads off because I thought they were being 'goady'?Stop being so obtuse.

They were attacked because a terrorist attacked them, not because of a cartoon.

Charlie Hebdo did far more Christian and Jewish cartoons without any attacks.

It is utterly incomprehensible why people are brutally murdered in the way it has happened over the past couple of weeks in France.

I believe in free speech but with that comes responsibility; I would never knowingly offend another and would not draw pictures on Mohammed. The only reason to do it would be to cause offence.

The only dick move was by the twat killing her.

The OP has to be a troll.

OP as an individual you have been cowed and subjugated by the terrorists and given up your freedom of speech but as a society we absolutely must not.

The poor old lady was not decapitated because somebody goaded.

The poor old lady was decapitated because an insane man hacked her neck with a knife.

‘I believe in free speech but with that comes responsibility; I would never knowingly offend another and would not draw pictures on Mohammed. The only reason to do it would be to cause offence.’

But this comment is obviously going to offend many people!

Going to church is innocent, drawing a cartoon is dangerous.

Got it.

Except the extremists are, in fact, killing people for going to church.

Edward where did I say they deserve to die dont twist my words
