re: #341 Feline Fearless Leader

It looks like the official Religious Edict Organization in Egypt is saying that Charlie Hebdo shouldn’t publish their next issue because they are “unnecessarily provoking” the feelings of Muslims world wide.

MSNBC article

That may be true, but suppressing Charlie Hebdo at this point would mean that the terrorists won. So the Muslims world wide have to accept some hurt feelings because what is happening *is* the secular response to a blatant attempt to suppress free thought and expression (however distasteful) via terrorism and violence.

That’s fine as long as I’m allowed to reserve my right NOT to view their magazines/cartoons. If someone comes along shoving them in my face, insisting that I look at them and demanding that I refrain from expressing my dislike, then they can just piss right the hell off.
