HOW PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE CHRISTIANS ENCOURAGE MUSLIMS TO BE ANGRY IF ISLAM IS INSULTED
Most Catholics, including Pope Francis, in the wake of the Charlie Hebdo
magazine atrocity, where Islamists murdered journalists in France for insulting
Islam, stated that the attacks were not wholly unexpected and were not wholly
unprovoked. They say that the magazine insulted the religious beliefs of others
and that this was intolerant hate speech and that you do not have the right to
deride and belittle the religious beliefs of others. They say that those who
defended the magazine did so in the name of freedom of speech and democracy but
that they are hypocrites for they deny a right to verbally abuse another's race,
family or sexuality. They call for more stringent blasphemy laws.
So they would have the magazine shut down by the civil authorities for blasphemy
while nothing is done about those who are ready to kill whoever insults their
beliefs? They do not consider it blasphemous to adore a murderous God.
So they imply the French journalists who were murdered were not wholly innocent
and partly deserved and asked for what they got. Even if the Catholics believe
the murders were wrong they are still saying the journalists fully asked for it.
So do the Catholics mean it when the blame lies partly with the journalists? Not
if they asked for it! To say that they asked to any degree to be murdered shows
the true colours of the Catholics. And if Catholics are asked to stop working
against Islam by teaching Catholicism, they won't be saying, "It wasn't entirely
unprovoked" when Catholic teachers lie dead at the feet of the terrorists.
So they try to make out that insulting somebody's religion is in the same league
as insulting their race or family or sexuality? But practicing religion is a
choice. It is not the same thing. And religion is belief. Belief is not on the
same level as race or family or sexuality. Belief should not be protected but
people should. There is a difference.
So they say that there is a slight excuse for murdering you when you blaspheme
religious beliefs. That is sick considering that no belief is that important.
The lowest of the low makes a slight or any other kind of excuse when somebody
is killed for blaspheming because religious beliefs are merely guesses and
assumptions. A religious belief is not in the same league as a belief that
antibiotics help you get better from bacterial illnesses or any other kind of
well established belief. Because there is no reality check, you have Mormons
saying God is a man, Catholics saying he is a Spirit and Muslims saying he is a
psycho and Hindus saying that nothing about God can be known so we have to make
do with symbols and idols. No decent person would silence another for
challenging or ridiculing a religious belief even if they would if the person
was saying 2 and 2 were 5 or asserting something else that is clearly untrue.
So they deny that there is no excuse for somebody being so dedicated to their
beliefs that they would kill those who lampoon or debunk them.
Some feel that blaspheming Islam or Muhammad is irresponsible as it can result in some Muslims baying for blood and actually killing the blasphemers. But sadly, if we suspect people are addicted to God or Islam or faith or any religion, we cannot know how dangerous this is unless someone will provoke them. We have to know. If a religion is essentially fanatical but does no harm for it feels no need to, that is only fine until it does need to!
What is the real motive for non-Muslims to try and inflame tensions?
