What do DUers that defend mocking religious beliefs think of these pictures?

16. I think these pictures deliberately tell one side of a story

Just like pictures of smiling Jews at Seder or enlightened Muslims bringing math and science to a more primitive 8th century Spain.

But it does not show the dark side, and therefore not the whole story. The people in these photos would never condone the murder of Dr. Tiller, much less the Inquisition, but it is the same belief (gone cancerous) that inspired both. Same goes for those who murder cartoonists in the name of Allah. From the Arab mathematicians who brought Spain out of the dark ages to the new identity of Cat Stevens, sincere, good-minded people follow that faith as well, plenty of whom have no interest in guns or bombs.

However, as long as there are people who use such faiths as excuses to commit savage horror, there will be those who fight back. Some will resort to the same level of violence, but others will resort to less violent methods if that is their nature. To those who would decry a mocking of their faith, I would say be thankful that it is only in print and that they would never EVER think of doing you or anyone else of your faith physical harm. They write and they draw cartoons. They will not shoot you and they will not blow up your home or family.

Think what you will, believe what you will, say what you will, but walk away peacefully--as they would. Kill them, and you permanently label yourself and those who share your beliefs in the eyes of those they leave behind, and there are ALWAYS some left behind on every side of an argument.
