Anti-Muslim ad in subway

Not very nice imo, then again neither are insults and abuse hurled at Christians and Jews.

That being said, this is why we have the First Amendment; to protect speech even if, or I should say "especially if" we find it offensive.

And last I checked, these Muslim extremists do have a choice to protest peacefully, or discredit their very message with violence. So instead of attacking the people who are exercising their constitutional right to speech, we instead focus our ridicule on those who use violence to try to suppress it?

Inb4 someone gets killed over this ad.

How is this good at all? There's a difference between what you are saying and abusing your rights. Insulting Arabs and Muslims is pretty low.OB-47

That's beside the point. It seems because it's directed at Muslims that you are adopting the "sticks and stones" idea.

I would imagine an advertisement making fun of homosexuals would get your jimmies rustled for example.

Let's be honest, as far as governments in iran v. isreal it's true.

the iranian people are fine though.

Anti Muslim? Are you saying all Muslims are terrorists? Because thats whom this ad is directed against, those who actively commit Jihad.

I'm a fan of all sorts of jokes. I usually make jokes about my self first so that people feel comfortable to say anything really. But there is a time and place for everything. And this example doesn't look like the right time and place, regardless of "Freedom of Speech"

eh, just my say.

Well said. Islam really is quite stubborn towards change. I do wish the more normal Muslims in America would attempt peaceful dialogue, but rather they stay silent.And then they let the extremists represent them. It's about time they used FoS wisely to show that there are indeed Islams who are not compelled to strap on a bomb everytime someone doesn't agree with them

BTW for context: I'm Agnostic

I'm apathetic, people cry for no reason, but I'm on the Palestinian side anyway. I don't agree with Israeli wanting to be exclusively a 'jewish state', but at least they give land for peace.

stupid ad, that's only going to alienate the moderates, strengthen those with the opposite view, and preaches to the choir to the demographics who think the situation is purely that.

stupid ad. could cry foul, but i wouldn't.

I would however... if it becomes something all over the place that it's simply acceptable to dehumanize, blindly hatefully attack Muslims/Palestinians/Arabs/whatever.

Because i could post some pics of posters, and books from 1920-1930's Europe about a certain racial/religious group....

but even the loud obnoxious simple-minded black-n-white world lensed borderline (or outright) racist bigotted folks can have a voice too...

[QUOTE="l4dak47"] One can argue the ad was uncalled for and "dumbfu*ckery"DroidPhysX

One was in the White House.

The other was in a public place.

Pretty stupid ad to be honest. Seems like they want to provoke the extremists now days

OB-47

it's not their fault an extremist wants to blow something up...it's called freedom of speech, like it or not. if you don't want freedom of speech, move to Iran.

That's a pretty stupid thing to say.

Extremists have no logical thinking. Everyone knows they want to blow everything up. Why would you provoke a reaction from them? Do you think the extremists will say "Oh it's freedom of speech it's alright"?

Other than the mentally handicrapped babies that are responding to it. We need to get rid of this ad so they stop acting hysterical. All those women interviewed had very annoying tones, the man was more rational. Then again, if this pisses those women off, that is kind of funny.

So for example if I said g@ys are stupid, is that freedom of speech or is that offensive?Monkey_N1nga

It's funny when someone posts disagreeing with the ad some other dumbass replies with "FREEDOM OF SPEECH HURRDURR" as if no one knew that.

I am from europe so perhaps my concept of free speech differs from the american one. Is it ok to say something that could result in the death of others and still be covered under 'Free Speach'?

[QUOTE="HoolaHoopMan"][QUOTE="kingkong0124"] it's a privilege to go the White House..you have to be classy when you go somewhere like that. Some things you don't do there. This is similar to how your right to bear arms is violated when you visit the White House....kingkong0124

You should be kicked out for flicking off paintings of presidents. It's a privilege to visit the White House, which is my point. They got invited to the White House. Invited. When someone invites you, you don't go and start flicking off random sh*t in their house. Even the Log Cabin Republicans (who are also gay activists) condemned this...

So is it allowed to post a poster saying 'kill all muslems/christians' ?
