Didn't they do this in America and it ended with two terrorists being shot in the head?

Just put some armed police about to guarantee safety, they do police escorts on controversial protests why not this?

In fact, it seems like a good way to honey trap terrorists. This would be an excellent way of flushing them out.

[–]Cosmic_Colin [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

As they hate the drawings, I'm not sure that it could be described as a honey trap. Maybe a Marmite trap.

Yes

There's so many things funny about this. First off, texas is that place you guys get the tall hats, bibles, and guns stereotypes of us from. Basically everyone is carrying. They also have a very pro-military sentiment there, and not the best incomes, so you're much more likely that a random citizen holding that wartime grade handgun is fairly proficient with it.

The two they attacked, one was a traffic cop, so definitely not elite trained here, the other was a security guard. Security guards in the US do not have a great reputation for being a strong fighting force (see paul blart:mall cop). So they attack these two with complete surprise armed with nice assault rifles (AR-15s which I'm assuming they used are amazing civilian guns, I would trust one to be used shaving hair off my balls at 50 meters) on a fixed position (two were seated in their car). The security suffered a gunshot wound to his ankle and was discharged that evening. Meanwhile, traffic cop gets to play hero, whips out a 45' he liked to carry around (cause texas), and ends up wounding them, possibly forcing them to retreat (not quite clear, official story is they retreated to get more ammo)

The two men were used as target practice by the SWAT Team after being intercepted on their route.

ISIS declared themselves responsible and, hilariously, warned that this was just the first to come.

If the event had gone ahead, and gained significant publicity , it would have been somewhat hilarious. The BBC, ITV, and Sky would have been forced to report on it - and you can be sure not one of their reports would have displayed any of the cartoons ...

[–]hoffi_coffi [スコア非表示]  (2子コメント)

Freedom of speech is very important and it should have gone ahead. Note they weren't banned, they found it was too risky. Well I think they should have taken a stand personally if it meant that much to them. The problem for me is that it is hard to sympathise with them. They weren't doing it for artistic reasons, or satire, or anything else. Their main motivation was to be a bunch of dicks and to wind up a religion. Part of me wonders if they deliberately back down, they knew full well at the beginning it would never take place. It would be a shoddy display, attract protests and they would look like idiots. If they don't put it on they can act like some kind of martyr for free speech.

No, their main motivation was to demonstrate against the intimidation that eventually stopped them from doing it in the name of freedom of speech. As such it is telling that they had to cancel the event due to security risks and they are examples of martyrs for free speech.

This is such a retarded thing to say, the organisers are the ones to be criticised not the lack of freedom of speech or islamic extremism. They haven't even been given a chance.

The truth is that the dickheads who organised it, cancelled the event on purpose to somehow make people believe that there is some grave attack on free speech.

Their greatest fear is that the event goes through smoothly without a hitch, but why do that when they could cancel the event and convince a bunch of morons like you that the enemies of free speech have prevailed.

[–]Ordinary650 37ポイント38ポイント  (3子コメント)

We do have free speech, the organiser of the event decided the risk was too high - they weren't banned.

You are 100% right that they should be able to run it with no fear, and it's disgraceful that they can't. I also should be able to walk down the street with my entire years pay in cash in my hand and expect nothing to happen to me, but I definitely would not risk it.

What can you say, we live in a world full of total assholes & looking at human history they have existed since time immemorial and presumably will continue to do so. It's a long and slow fight to crush their stupid opinions, sometimes it's a bit of a risk to jump to the end goal too quickly.

[–]weeklybeatings 5ポイント6ポイント  (2子コメント)

walking down a street with cash in your hand is about a tangible something. Money is a substantial, real, existing thing that wields "use" in any society. You are right, you should be able to walk safely down the street holding it out....but it is strongly advisable to not do so.... but THAT said, while there is a risk of being killed, it is more likely that you would just have the cash forcefully taken from you, that is all

  • drawing a cartoon, regardless of subject, has no bearing on any person's life. You can't be physically injured by it. You might be upset, or sickened by it - but that is all. You can't do anything with that drawing, other than look at it, and maybe react to it.... You should be safe to draw what you want, more so than your money-in-the-street problem.

At worst, someone might punch you (you draw someones fat, slutty mum...you might have it coming) but to be killed? and that is what the threat IS - not to be harmed, but to be KILLED.... I get your comparison, but I feel it is the proverbial "apples and oranges" here.

[–]Ordinary650 8ポイント9ポイント  (0子コメント)

I think you've missed my point. My point is that it's all well and good to say "well I SHOULD be able to x, y & z"... well, yes, you should, but we all accept there are certain things in life you probably shouldn't do because other people are assholes.

Drawing a person shouldn't antagonise people so.

It is the equivalent to having a person thump me just because I drew his favourite character. Rightfully, the school would discipline him for thumping me, not me for drawing a character.

It only makes sense when the other person is mentally retarded or, sadly, religious.

They are more likely to adopt an attitude of "Well, you can't blame the crazy extremists for getting like that."

I agree, but why should I focus solely on the biggest threat? I am also sticking to the topic of this thread.

    They are only drawing Muhammed because they know Muslims don't like it. It's trolling, like dancing on the grave of someone's loved one after being told they'd rather you didn't walk on the grave. That's not illegal either.

    Who says it's 'making fun'? If something like that is left unchecked, the retarded kid would eventually attack unknowing members of the public for saying the wrong colour within earshot.

    [–]MrJohz [スコア非表示]  (5子コメント)

    Yes, of course. So let's attempt to check it, through education and open tolerance and discussion.

    I can't imagine a teacher who would think that the best way to teach the kid is to continually antagonise them until they stop. Because that doesn't work, not has it ever worked.

    [–]IrishLuigiLeft Libertarian; -5.50, -2.97 [スコア非表示]  (4子コメント)

    The teacher's role is not to antagonise. Their role is to educate the child to react in a more appropriate way to reduce the bullying, instead of exacerbating their special snowflake status.

    [–]MrJohz [スコア非表示]  (3子コメント)

    Well real life doesn't have teachers, so if we just wait around relying on them to teach other people the "right way", we're going to spend a lot of time waiting.

    Instead, we need to act ourselves as teachers if we believe we're right, and that involves dealing with opposition wisely and sensibly. And do you know what isn't being wise or sensible? Antagonising other people and provoking a reaction.

    [–]atticdoor 1ポイント2ポイント  (9子コメント)

    Should people deliberately say "purple" to wind him up? Should other kids run an "Everyone say 'Purple'" club and watch him get furious?

    If someone was drawing pictures of historical figures and included pictures of Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed that's one thing. I would defend that. But hearing that Muslims don't like pictures of Muhammed and deliberately encouraging people to draw what will probably be over-offensive parodic renditions just to upset people is Trolling.

    [–]commenian [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

    It's a means of drawing attention to the danger that a large group of people in the UK believe they have the right to kill others who don't conform to their standards of behaviour. Its as simple as that.

    Should people deliberately say "purple" to wind him up? Should other kids run an "Everyone say 'Purple'" club and watch him get furious?

    Yes. I knew a boy in boarding school who got really violent whenever anyone called him 'Master', and it was a unspoken rule not to call him 'Master'. One day, I was bored and called him 'Master' every single time we made eye contact. He attacked me at breakfast, form time, and some classes before I was removed from the classroom into solitary study for the rest of the day (teacher knew the situation).

    After school, I nevertheless continued and he started avoiding me instead of fighting me. I saw this as progress, because he finally learnt that violence wouldn't work. But later on, some boys watched a film and we were both present. He got violent again and I was kicked out of the room by the care staff. I went to his room with a large pile of papers and hid notes with 'Master' in every nook and cranny I could find in his room.

    That night, it took 3 care staff to restrain him from getting into the time-out room I was placed in.

    Now (7 years later) he is still a bit weird, but if someone calls him 'Master', he shrugs it off.

    It is the same as when a child starts a tantrum in a supermarket; you accommodate the child's behaviour, you encourage it. You ignore it, the child will realise that type of behaviour will not get it what it wants.

    Unfortunately, in this case, we have already given way and shown them that their methods are effective. We need a quick and strong reversal, or they will walk over us.

    [–]atticdoor [スコア非表示]  (3子コメント)

    But was it your responsibility to deal with this boy's behaviour in this (apocryphal?) story? Any more than it is these artists' responsibility to deal with Muslims' cultural differences?

    Also, they are not merely depicting Muhammed, but deliberately upping the ante by using unpleasant parodic images. It's as if you called your classmate "Master Cunt" when you learnt he didn't like being called "Master". Not illegal, but unnecessary and trolling.

    [–]IrishLuigiLeft Libertarian; -5.50, -2.97 [スコア非表示]  (2子コメント)

    It is society's responsibility, and I am part of society, as are you.

    The artists are dealing with cultural differences by challenging and calling out their intolerance and disproportional reactions.

    I believe controversial artists are an essential part of society, to bring about revolutions and usher in new eras. I suppose I should thank you for being the party which lends the power of controversy to the artists.

    Yes, because at the end of the next week, he did not let 'Master' get to him. His 'sanity' wasn't eventual, it was quite fast.

    After that day, it slowly started to become a game where he would chase me around. He started laughing about it while chasing me and eventually got bored of it.

    If enough people drew muhammad constantly, the muslims would eventually develop a calmer response, eventually reaching apathy.
