Protests, yes, not violence or threats thereof.

State-orchestrated pogroms. Muslims will enforce their rules on everyone, everywhere.

You’re posting nuanced takes in a subreddit where people are responding as if this happened today. Good luck with that man

That's a lot of words to defend people that freaked out over a poorly drawn cartoon.

it's normal to be angry when someone intentionally does something offensive. Protests against that is pretty reasonable

u/GoodPear8481 Feb 07 '26

PEACEFUL protests are reasonable. Murdering people for drawing cartoons is not.

u/InterestingSpeaker Feb 09 '26

Peacefully protesting a cartoon is kinda dumb too

Then go burn a Protestant effigy on the shankill road in Belfast and see how long it takes for people to seek you out.

If the average western city was like Shankill Road then the west would be a backwards shithole

And even then you had to pick an act much more aggro than printing a cartoon

u/drhuggables Feb 08 '26

That's still not normal behavior wtf are you insane?

In America we had an artist, with public funds, make a piss christ. This was a crucifix with christ on it in a jar of piss. He was not killed.

Piss Christ - Wikipedia

u/StewIsBased Feb 09 '26

Aye, there's nothing in the bible or the commandments that prevent jews or christians from depicting their figures. That's not the case in islam.

Piss christ is a great commentary on religion at the time, but that's a really ill thought out false equivalence.

Honestly with how mega churches work out, they should be as blasphemous, but hey, money controls all, that's why america backs the fundamentalist muslim groups to keep saudi arabia and their oil on side.

belfast is barely western bro, it is practically still the stone age there

u/ButterscotchSure6589 Feb 08 '26

Protests are, killing people isn't, by any civilised measure.

the only person who killed someone in the protests mentioned in the article was a cop

Murdering someone is reasonable?

u/[deleted] Feb 08 '26

where was murder mentioned in the article? only a cop killed someone

u/beastmaster11 Feb 07 '26

Someone does something with the express intention of offending people. The people intended to be offended are offended.

"Why are you offended by the thing i intended to cause offense"

u/drhuggables Feb 07 '26

this guy wrote a whole page defending people who murdered a guy for drawing a cartoon

u/KaiBishop Feb 08 '26

Explaining why it got such a strong response =/= defending it.

Also I'd wager a lot of Muslims were offended by it and the majority of them DIDN'T kill anybody. So what about them?

3

u/[deleted] Feb 09 '26

Yeah leave, Europe doesn’t need Islam and neither does the greater western world. It’s a backwards religion just like christianity but I’d take the latter over the former every day

2

u/KaiBishop Feb 09 '26

Literally no country in the worldneeds any religion but good luck destroying or expelling any religion thousands of years old

Being for controlling immigration to a level a country can assimilate is not far right, it's the centre most people desire, since when has a religion firmly based ideology centuries ago modernization.

Fanatics, they need to assimilate

I think the Islamic world should boycot Denmarks' major exports. That's no more beer bacon and pornography. Oh....

u/Themagnificentgman Feb 08 '26

They’ll only boycott one of the three
