with many aliases. Psychopaths love to diminish people's lives and see people "fall". What is to stop some other psychopaths from creating more hatefull propaganda, resulting in deaths around the world, to please themselves?

(118,462 posts)mailorder bride things are really disturbing. Clicked on one of them by mistake just the other day. I've known of and know people who have gone abroad and fallen in love. I've also met people who were in an arranged marriage. And that didn't work out. Though the woman seemed lovely. Love is often in the air when people are on vacation or travelling. I'm trying to get my brother to travel and fall in love. He's a good egg. But no. I would not suggest he or anyone else I cared about answer such ads. There is nothing scarier than manipulative people to get back to my original post. And the internet does seem to offer up a host of new opportunities for them to exploit others .....one way or another.

(118,462 posts)a Koran people knew it could result in deaths in the middle east. This guy would have known too - being from there. It is no joke.

(6,890 posts)And I would defend a persons right to make this type of film. This is not the first time something like this has happened, the Satanic Versus had a similar response. What should we have done with Salman Rushdie?

(118,462 posts)these distant slurs to get to the heart of the middle east will result in desensitizing people there in the end. I don't know what the answer is but I do think we should be having the discussion. Incidentally we do have hate laws in Canada. I know you have free speech in the USA. I am not advocating repealling that. I'm just saying.... perhaps the FBI, can scare the bejeebies out anyone who will follow? Our would that be under the CIA mandate? Cause apparently the trouble Terry Jones started didn't teach anybody anything.

(6,890 posts)There was some Danish magazine that published pictures of Mohammed again with a similar response. I do agree with you of sorts on Terry Jones because he did that in a religious context. Even conservatives pleaded with him no to go through with this, but in the end I suppose I would have to defend his rights as well.
But the ultimate goal would be to desensitize Muslims because there really is no turning back...

He's an ass, but I don't know him well enough to diagnose him (nor do I have the medical qualifications).

(28,470 posts)Regardless of my personal feelings on the subject, I'd never attempt to medically diagnose him.

(118,462 posts)I was worried that other people like him, people who get a kick out of taking from others and seeing people die, who are all psychopaths, would follow his behaviour for their own pleasure. There are sadistic people out there. They exist. How do we talk about them and the issues they bring up if we cannot use the proper vocabulary?
MercutioATC
(28,470 posts)Based on media reports (which may or may not be accurate) he did what he did in opposition of Muslims killing people (honestly, that's the best explanation the media has proposed).
I'm simply suggesting that media reports can be inaccurate and none of us really know. Before randomly labeling him a psychopath, I think that we need to know more about him.

the death of many others. I'm assuming the producer made this film knowing it would provoke outrage. He lied to the actors and dubbed in words, that were not in the script, later. He knew he was up to no good. Maybe he just wanted to become famous in right wing circles and get money that way (cause if you speak up & get famous on the far right there is an instant money tree that will shake money all over you). But there is enough information out there that it likely would result in the death of people in the middle east. Psychopath. He knew to hide what he was doing from the actors. He made it available online when it was dubbed. How do we stop other psychopaths from following his cue resulting in the murder of many is my question.

(28,470 posts)My point is that our information has solely come from the media that we so frequently criticize.
(I also think that this was more of a bigotry/religious thing than a "right wing" political thing)
