Yesterday was the 10th anniversary of the Charlie Hebdo shooting. What is your opinion on the freedom of satire in general and the satire of religion in particular?

This is a sensitive topic for some people, so please do your best to have civil discussions. Let's do better than the average social media.
You're viewing a single thread.
"Islamists" are politically far-right - paleoconservatives, theocrats, fascists.
See Hamtramck, MI. They took over the local government and banned pride flags. The mayor is an Islamic Trumper. It makes no sense to me.
"I got mine here in the US, so fuck the rest of you all!"
I don't see how this is an opinion about satire or religious satire.
The law cannot protect anyone unless it binds everyone; and it cannot bind anyone unless it protects everyone. -- Frank Wilhoit
There are paradoxes in the system, but rest assured that these religions, the Abrahamic ones and other World religions, are all conservative in their construction.
You are not going to find the answers to the paradoxes, you're not going to find the equilibrium. I'm certainly not going to give you the solutions in some obscure comment, this kind of stuff requires shelves of books and papers.
Note that if you think the satire magazine is some dangerous fascist organization posting their propaganda in order to recruit for an underground militia type organization, you have to prove that. It's not too difficult to prove or disprove, but that can be a skill in of itself, something all moderators everywhere should have.
Here's one of their covers satirizing French racists:
So they Charlie hebdo shooting was over a cartoon of the Islamic religious figure against the artists at a French newspaper.
The above comment is describing the state of mind and beliefs of the attacker.
I am aware of the charlie hebdo shooting and why they claimed they did it. But I don't see how the above statement relates to it, besides the loose connection of "islamists". Are they saying there are enough violent islamists that one should fear repercussions? Or are they dismissing the islamists' views by labeling them as paternal conservatives? It's really just a statement about islamists, and not about the freedom of satire.
But I don't see how the above statement relates to it
So that is called "willful ignorance" and the weight of not being able to see the relation is YOUR burden to bear.
It correlates quite nicely and you're throwing a fit because you disagree emotionally.
