This is not a place to attack all Moslems. Please do it somewhere else. You have your own board so Off you go.

From Apostate Maryam Namazie AFTER THE CHARLIE HEBDO MASSACRE, SUPPORT THOSE FIGHTING THE RELIGIOUS-RIGHT
After the massacre in Charlie Hebdo in Paris on January 7, 2015, expressing indignation, as so many are doing, is not enough.
A quick look at the English-speaking media shows that whilst many condemn the violence itself, they also assert that Charlie Hebdo courted (and maybe deserved?) a strong response from “Muslims”. Charlie’s regular cartoonists did not spare Islam, any other religion, nor fanatics and bigots.
This trend in the media requires our attention. Apparently secularists, agnostics and atheists must keep silent and do not deserve the kind of respect that believers are entitled to; nor can they enjoy free speech to the same degree.

FOR CHARLIE HEBDO: RAGE AND SOLIDARITY
Maryam Namazie’s message to Charlie Hebdo’s editor in chief, Gerard Biard:
I spoke on a panel with you in November last year at the International Feminist and Secular Network in Paris.
I am writing to express my outrage at the cold-blooded murder of freethinkers at Charlie Hebdo today and to give my unequivocal support.
Freedom of expression and the criticism of religion and Islam are basic rights. Clearly, free expression without the right to criticise religion is meaningless. Throughout history, criticism of religion (that which is deemed sacred or taboo) has been intrinsic to human progress.
In the era of ISIS and the religious-Right, this criticism is a historical necessity and needed more than ever.

Admin, I do not attack "all muslims" I attack the Holy Book of Islam which justifies and promotes atrocities against infidels - it's an ideology NOT a person. But do YOU know the difference? YOU, sadly are part of the problem Kenan Malik identifies. Read his article and recognise yourself. kenanmalik.wordpress.com/2015/01/08/je-suis-charlie-its-a-bit-late/ He says, "The irony is that those who most suffer from a culture of censorship are minority communities themselves." |
