Islamists threaten South Park over depiction of Muhammed

[Bluebook]

Indeed. Well, we change some things - there are plenty of things I do to mitigate the risk of getting killed in a wide variety of ways. I wear a seatbelt, I don't wander around shitty parts of town at night, etc., etc., etc.

I agree. The thing that scares me though is that media seems to avoid offending moslems like you avoid wandering around shitty parts of town at night. And if that continues, we are well on our way to put an end to our open society and the freedoms we take for granted. Not because of external threats, but by changing our way of life in an effort to appease those that cannot be appeased. If we shrink from this position, the next challenge will be an even deeper intrusion into our free society.

Already we see signs of it all around Europe, in Sweden for example, some baths have begun to practice "girls-only" swimming for a couple of hours each day, to avoid offending those that think that girls and boys should not be allowed to socialize without enough clothes on.

There's lots of stuff I wouldn't do. I wouldn't widely publish Muhammad satire. And I wouldn't testify against organized crime. The Greater Good must take a back seat to My Good.

And while that works for you, on an individual level, if everyone thinks and acts like you, our society will collapse. Its kinda like all those other things that we do because we have a responsibility to do it, while our individual effort in itself is neglectable (voting, throwing our garbage in the garbage bin, paying taxes, etc)

Never did like this show.  I'm not really afraid of muslims either.  So it's a wash.

yeah, that's exactly what I'll do if/when islamists ever get round to throwing you of a building for being gay. Just for you, though.

That show has its moments, but then it shows a kid taking a dump on his teacher's desk to remind me why I don't watch it regularly.

[Jaron]

I wonder how much more we need to be pushed before we wake up and put the Muslims "ass on glass" already.

As far as I can see it's a posting on an internet forum.  I mean sure it sounds like incitement to me (I don't like the inclusion of the address) but if this counts as 'Islamists threatening' then I dread to think what the BBC could make of, say, CdM or Marti

[Jaron]

I don't recall CdM making death threats about anyone and Martinus overreacts but Muslims ACT on their threats. When Martinus walks around Warsaw stabbing people to death then I will worry about what he posts on internet forums.

Yes, but one posting on one American internet forum doesn't make an Islamist threat.

[Jaron]

What do they  need to do exactly? Hold a press conference?

I mean there are many threats reported against our president and many of them I imagine are screened through internet sources.

It is sort of the grapevine through which you can see the beliefs and desires of a larger group.

On Languish there is a lot of talk about various political topics and while no one here speaks for the whole they surely offer insight into the worries, beliefs and hopes of the groups they represent.

They're not reported on the BBC.

I agree but it ain't deserving to be on the front page of a global news organisation

Yeah this is a story?  One internet troll?
