I do not understand how a presumed adult poster can be so smug, arrogant and self centered. Disagreeing is one thing; to smugly make fun of people is just not acceptable in adult conversation.

To all posters on this thread "but for" the First Amendment, you would have been unable to carry on with this written dialogue.
Some of you may want to go back and read why our founders urgently recognized the need to write and implement the Bill of Rights, with free speech becoming the First Amendment. If being "offensive"were the deciding criteria for denying First Amendment Rights then I am afraid my friends that we would all be living in a totalitarian state . Irrespective of its blemishes, be very grateful that you live in the greatest nations this world ever produced. And if you are religious kneel down and give thanks to Almighty God. Personal Best Regards: |

This post certainly emphasizes your predjudice against a specific group. Whether you realize it or not, all that is accomplished is displaying either a lack of knowledge or extreme pretense to to intimate there is no anti Muslim sentiment in what ever party you are a member of or pretend to represent.

I tried looking at these cartoons that i could find on the internet. I did not see one that was gratuitously offensive. Most of the ones I saw showed Muhammad treating people for drawing him or associated with the symbolism of terrorism. They all made political statements (once again, at least the ones I saw).
None came close to the level of deliberate offense that you see when the Left draws or mocks Christ — “**** Christ” or showing Jesus engaged in graphic gay sex or covering Mary in feces. So even the comparisons that some conservatives make of this contest vs. what Libs do to Christ are off the mark. Following 9-11 everyone was saying if you fear doing this thing or that thing, “then the terrorists have won!” Why don’t we hear that expression lately? |

Maybe it is like slowly heating/boiling the frog in hot water.
From Snopes: "The frog’s body temperature follows its surroundings. If you put the frog directly in boiling water, it will sense the heat immediately and jump out. But when you heat the water slowly, the frog keeps adjusting to the rising temperature. When the heat is too much for the frog to take, it is too late. The frog collapses and dies." |

He was actually quite effective, if not brilliant, in the use of these "frog boiling" tactics as long as his followers were a significant minority. Once he had an active percentage 20% or more, and certainly when in the vicinity of 50%, the tactics changed to simple force and overt terror. It worked. |
