Well, I'm going to play devils advocate here and I'm going to express some of my views.
First of all, I think people who say that they have a Freedom of Speech/Press and that they can say anything they want are stupid. Does that mean I can go anatagonise black people? NO. People are just using freedom of speech as an excuse to do what they want. Sure it's laid out in the law that you can say what you want but as I am sure you can see in my above example, there is also something called
morals.
I think it's irresponsible of the newspaper to print such a thing without fully realising the consequences.
How can you use a minority of wrong-doers in their society to be just as bad as them? As far as I am concerned we are just as bad as them. The whole world is stuck in a fight between what we believe is good and evil. Let me break it to you...
There is no such thing as good and evil (religionwise) it is just a matter of opinion.
Who are they to tell us what we can and cannot put in newspapers in OUR country, you dont like it? GTFO, and take all your illigal imagrent friends with you. What a crock "oh we are highly offended" Oh and we arnt offended when you burn our flags and drive cars packed with explosives at us? Fuck off.
It upsets me to see you being so ignorant. Until we realise that they are the same human beings as us we will not be able to put this all behind us. It seems as if the world always needs someone to discriminate. Jews, black people, Muslims. What's next, Aliens?
By the way, I'm not religious, I've tried my best to view this whole argument in a way that does not involve religion.
