As always, they dance around and give non-answers to the most critical questions posited to any school of thought. When it comes to freedom of speech, it's not about the alledge hipocracy of the west in matters like the Charlie Hebdo case, it's about these clerics thinking that there is such a think as the right to not be insulted or offended. It's about thinking that you have the right to excert punishment because your beliefs have been offended. It's thinking that government and legislation should be based on your moralistic views of how the world should work. That's the problem, and not that they wouldn't let Muslims rally, while carrying guns, outside churches and synagogues.,(reply>), @TheGamingAlong yes, there can be endless debates and conversations about how to cohabitate our living spaces, societies, and countries in more harmony, and still no one, not you, muslims in general, christians, zoroastrians, or non believers have the right to threaten, assault, punish, or kill because someone uttered some words that were hurtful to them. Period. And that’s the kind of subject matter that muslims refuse to speak about and debate openly, and constantly dodge any question aimed at unearthing what they really think, and the ideas and behaviors they support.,(reply>), They need to learn that there is no 'muslim right to not be offended', hopefully America and Israel teach them this hard lesson.,(reply>), Just because some Muslim clerics have a problem with certain forms of speech, doesn't mean all of us do. And it's not about wanting punishment or government based on our beliefs, it's about respect and understanding that words can hurt and have consequences. So let's not paint all of us with the same brush.
