The mosque leader (Imam ?) says (paraphrase) Jarhead is hiding behind the first amendment to spew his hate speech and actions!

(me)
And he's hiding behind the 2nd to spew threats

Where does freedom of speech cross into inciting violence?
(rhetorical)

Clearly the cartoon contest is intended to provoke.

Which is why I find it funny - and good! - that the Imam calls him out on it.

And it has already become a non-news item. Today's article is essentially the same as yesterdays


He got his 15 minutes ... now he has to watch his back for the real extremists because of his asinine stunt.

That's a good question. Can it be set in black and white so their can be clear guide lines?

Or can it just be used as an excuse.
For example: you say something, i feel obligated to scalp someone because of. What you said. Even if you had no intention of the outcome what you said still triggered it.

But then on a deeper level, it's actually the governments fault as they let these unstable people roam free.

But then on an even deeper level it's the voters fault as they elected the government.

This is the problem with a loosely maintained regime. There is only chaos never any order.

Looking back this goes to our caveman days. Fire was a necessity for survival. The wheel was the lazy mans way of getting out of hard work. This trend stuck due to unreasonable inventing new ways to be lazy instead of manning up and sticking it out.

Basically we are f***ed. But personally I believe in karma so I reckon the human race will get its commupence for its laziness. A nice meteor or something.

Yeah just re read what I wrote. I think the technical term is stacking realities. Maybe that street hypnosis training has had more of an effect than I thought.

Interesting.

I'll take this fork in the road
And fork it again: Black and White: 60 mph speed limit.
It doesn't matter if my speedometer is broke and I didn't know I was going 66 mph, I can still get a ticket.

But people's emotions and "feelings" (and interpretations) aren't so definable and uniform as to where "The Line" is.

Although "Violence" can be defined, "Inciting Violence" has a certain grey-ness to it - As does "Freedom of Speech".

Yeah can't help but agree with you there.

It's a shame a lot of the self help stuff out there can't be taught in schools. There probably wouldn't be as many emotionally unstable people out there.

Anybody who would make apologies for people that would kill another human being for drawing a cartoon are disgusting.

Apparently to some people apologizing is disgusting. To those people I would like to say that if I have ever apologize to you, I am really sorry....
