In USA, slander, threats, and disclosure of state secrets are prohibited.
You are committing the logical falacy known as “tu quoque”.
So exhortations to kill unbelievers don’t count as threats?
I’m not. I disproved your assertion.
No, I assure you you didn’t.
I do not know – USA should try to maintain normal relations with Islamic states.
See the Wiki cite above. No, exhortations to kill unbelievers (or homosexuals, or tax lawyers) do not legally count as threats in the US unless they’re specific.
As others have pointed out, speech is pretty well protected in the U.S.
Beyond that, the Qur’an does not really do what you claims it does. Various twits who are Islamist zealots and various other twits who are haters of Islam have cherry-picked a handful of passages from the Qur’an and declared that those passages have specific meanings that the vast majority of Muslims, (and the vast majority of non-Muslims who can actually read texts in context), realize are false.
His freedom of speech does not entitle him to theft. He was not entitled to the information he made public. Surely you can understand that.
There seem to be an awful lot of people “misinterpreting” the Koran like that. It’s not just the violence either, but the treatment of women and all sorts of other things.
Theft? How can you steal words?
Forget it guys. It’s Join Date Dec 2012-town.
Interesting join date.
That’s a rather gross simplification of the Quran, which is dramatically more tolerant than either the Christian or Jewish Bibles.
Yes, like both of those books the Quran is very harsh towards pagans who denied the existence of the Abrahamic God, but it doesn’t call for the murder of non-Muslims who still believe in the Abrahamic God(most notably but not exclusively Christians and Jews).
That’s why during the Medieval era there were large Christian and Jewish communities that flourished throughout the Islamic World(though they did face some discrimination) while Muslims were slaughtered like cattle in Europe.
So, why did you feel the need to complain about people not being jailed for selling the Quran, but ignore the vastly more intolerant Christian Bible which is sold in vastly higher numbers in the West?
Thanks
I was wrong. You surely don’t understand it. I don’t know what to say. Sucks to be you? Best of luck with your writing endeavors.
“An awful lot of people” do a lot of different things. It is very common for people in a given culture to engage in an activity for various reasons and then point to their beliefs as the “reason,” when other people of the same faith, but different cultures, do not engage in that behavior. In places where it is practiced, “an awful lot of people” point to their religion as a reason why they engage in Female Genital Mutilation even though their beliefs are Christian, Muslim, or Animist, and despite the fact that the majority of other Christians, Muslims, and Animists find that behavior repulsive.
In Europe and North America, people pointed to the Bible for the “reason” to subjugate women for centuries. The culture changed, the worst excesses of subjugation disappeared, and the same Bible was no longer found to be “saying” the same thing.
The same is true of your claims against the Qur’an.
No, they don’t. Why would you say something so easily debunked? Hate speech law in Germany is drastically different from what it is in Canada (or anywhere else, really.)
No, he just hates Christians.
That of course is a giant load of bullshit.
That said, if it will make you feel better, feel free to climb back on your cross and pretend that you’re persecuted and that the world is against you.
:rolleyes: Yeah, Islam is the religion of peace and tolerance. As for all those Christians, Hindus and Buddhists butchered in the name of Islam, that just because … um … well … well, damn, I forget. How the fuck do you explain all those millions of people massacred in the name of Islam? Why did the streets of Byzantium run with blood when it was finally conquered by Muslims, why were Hindus burned alive in their temples, and why did Muslim pirates based in North Africa consider hunting Christians for slaves or just for the simple pleasure of plunder and murder to be a jolly good sport justified by the fact that their victims belonged to the wrong religion?
Islam, the religion of peace and tolerance! No greater lie was ever told.
Bullshit. He’s a Christophobe, as are you.
