I do not understand you Chien. I have no idea what your point is and how this relates to my original point. Maybe I'm dumb, but I see no point in this conversation.
The point is simple: once people engage in censorship, they have no credibility in the promotion of freedom.
The potential to call freedom of speech as a greater value to be preserved is lost.
As to kinship because of the simple muslim feature, it goes far behind kinship between censors.
People who censor, sponsor venues, organizations that practice censorship have more in common with these guys than the random muslim.
As already stated, all those books state many things and their contrary, which leaves the topic open: muslims, christians, jews might support or not censorship.
Censors, though, do not have this degree of freedom. They approve of censorship.
Censors, among themselves, agree to disagree on who must be censored.
I just hope that someone can do an experiment and survey muslims if they want sharia law, and I woud guarantee you that more than 95% don't want that.
That is asking people to decide between two systems that enables censorship.
It is not like the current system, or that non muslim people are adverse to censorship.
The current system could work exactly the same at one exception: muslims in charge.
This would mean for the topic at hand that jokes on islam would be tolerated up to the muslim tolerance. When they deem it to go too far, they would ban people from access to media, fire them from their work, blacklist etc
People from other religions would not be given such privilege though: any time jokes over their religion would go too far, they would see the socalled freedom of speech opposed to them etc
Same place, same rules, muslim landlord.
Asking muslims to determine between two systems that allow censorship makes no sense.
Actually, if the previous scenario was to happen, they could call the system sharia as sharia states one thing clearly: muslims are in charge.
That is what people on the streets are protesting against: the threat of the very same system but with muslims in charge, determining who say what.
Freedom of speech is not involved: protesters support censorship anytime it goes against their likings, anytime it hurts them.
It is a shame that the media seems to be focusing on the 0.01% trouble makers/terrorists as if they represent all muslims!
No. Islam is an incredibly large problem as it keeps revealing the system for what it is, it is not the only thing causing that, Islam causes it frequently though.
