I have made no excuses for this, because there are none. I did ask in my post if ALL Muslims should be condemned - I got no answer. Nobody should die because of their shitheaded bigotry.

Ah - I see now leftynyc Jan 2015 #17

Read your first post. Curmudgeoness Jan 2015 #57

I did that on purpose to show that one can use "but" without condoning murder. arcane1 Jan 2015 #62

Cute leftynyc Jan 2015 #75

It is horrible, but I can also understand why they were angry over those cartoons. arcane1 Jan 2015 #14

Can you understand why Republicans are angry over calling Bush a chimp? oberliner Jan 2015 #33

Of course. It's quite obvious, actually. arcane1 Jan 2015 #64

So if a cartoonist who made such a comparison was shot and killed by a Bush fanatic... oberliner Jan 2015 #70

When someone commits murder, their motive is often talked about and discussed. arcane1 Jan 2015 #71

Spare me leftynyc Jan 2015 #78

Why would you need to qualify it when the Muslim people themselves are not randys1 Jan 2015 #26

That's an excellent point leftynyc Jan 2015 #76

So when someone posts anti-semitic diatribes inciting violence and provoking anti-semitism KittyWampus Jan 2015 #35

I agree with you, HappyMe, and I stand in defense of your right to express that measured response. NYC_SKP Jan 2015 #7

"There's a lot of hate going" yes indeed there is. Warren Stupidity Jan 2015 #8

I have never hated all over the victims. HappyMe Jan 2015 #12

Mass slaughter is never, ever, justified, it's kind of built into the word "slaughter". NYC_SKP Jan 2015 #2

How many innocent people were murdered yesterday? Warren Stupidity Jan 2015 #3

How many of the people slaughtered yesterday made a vocation of penning provocative comics? KittyWampus Jan 2015 #37

al qaeda agrees with you. Warren Stupidity Jan 2015 #41

I blamed no victims and your disgusting assertion speaks to a limited capacity to go outside your KittyWampus Jan 2015 #42

You declared the victims guilty of provocation. Warren Stupidity Jan 2015 #47

Satirists aren't "guilty" of provocation… THAT IS LITERALLY WHAT SATIRE IS. KittyWampus Jan 2015 #53

sat·ire - noun cherokeeprogressive Jan 2015 #74

that sometimes depends on the slaughter hfojvt Jan 2015 #19

Slaughters that prevent future or further slaughters, I suppose, might be exceptions. NYC_SKP Jan 2015 #25
