Many Liberals Defend Islam the Way Conservatives Defend Guns

34. Where did I say that?

I am OK to mock, ridicule religion, homophobes (which often are believers) and racists (which can be religious or not)

Voltaire mocked religions and racism. He was homophobic, which shows even great authors aren't perfect.


Edit: sorry, I missed part of your point. Should people be free to make homophobic or racist jokes?

I guess so when it's not addressed to someone and not threatening. The pic above mocking muhamad doesn't attack anyone in particular. If someone wanted to waste his time making jokes about blacks and watermeleons ar Jews and kippas, it's their problem. I even think that the holocaustr denial laws in France are stupid and I would even question if it's useful to ban the N word. Let racists, homophobes or whatever dicredit themselves using that kind of speech.

I guess the buck stops when people would make homophobic jokes in front of a gay bar or racist jokes in front of a shop owned by a minority because it can be assimilated to intimidation or incitement to violence.
