re: #278 suchislife

I’m not sure being offended because you feel someone pissed all over your faith (I’m atheist, I get it everyday!) is the same as being shaken in your convictions.
BTW, I’m very much in favor of free speech. I also like to see religion satirized. I think it’s good for a religious (or any) community to be mocked every now and then. But, one should then be ok with other people mocking your faith right back at you. And that icon doesn’t mock Islam. Spitting on something is not mocking. Pissing on it even less. It’s also no critique.

You’re in favor of freedom of speech, as long as the icon mocks Islam, as long as the icon fits some critique that passes your sensibilities. Otherwise… she’s no free to use it.

Reread your comment, because that’s exactly what you are saying, in too many words.

Typical.
