From quantum theory to dialectics? Should the US then send drone strikes on Muslim newspapers and magazines for using their cartoonists and TV shows 'attacking' the US-a rhetorical question indeed. Eventually, there might be a true clash of civilizations, more than we have now. Right now, I would say, the Islamists are winning, because of passivity on the part of the so-called liberals, progressives, who see Jihadis as a means of weakening the west, so they can take over by default. The communists in Germany during 1930-33 agreed to stage street fights in order to better destabilize the Weimar Republic, their common enemy, and we all know how this worked out. If you desire a clash of civilizations so much… you should head off to Syria ,young man and join in the clash. Kindly leave the rest of us out of your insane dystopic future. -Chris -----Original Message----- From: Samiya Illias <samiyaill...@gmail.com> To: everything-list <everything-list@googlegroups.com> Sent: Sun, Jan 11, 2015 2:58 am Subject: Re: Why is there something rather than nothing?

Have you seen the cartoons… that went beyond criticizing or poking fun at someone else’s faith… the portrayal of the prophet (for those of that faith) is obscene, insulting, gratuitously degrading in overt sexual manner meant purely to offend. It has no redeeming quality to it. They published a stream of disgusting bigoted religious, ethnic and racial stereotypes; not just a single time – it was that papers bread and butter -- including such gems as a stereotypical portrayal of pregnant African woman (with exaggerated racially offensive features and fat post rape bellies) with the caption casually and cruelly calling them welfare mothers. That is just offensive to me, in the fucking extreme. It is pornographically ugly racist & sexist hate speech to portray those underage victims like that – IMO. I defend their right of free speech in the same manner as I defend the right of the KKK or Nazi skinheads to march. Free speech is only free as long as it extends to even the most obnoxious hate groups (including the racist newspaper Charlie Hebdo)… Free speech extends to racists, fascists, sectarian, nationalist, and ethnocentric bigots. I abhor their message, yet support their right to speech *on principal* -- even though they would and are doing their best to take away my freedom of speech. But there is nothing noble or ennobling about Charlie Hebdo, or the hateful racist people who made a living producing and disseminating such racist filth and ethnic hatred. The person I feel sorry for is that poor on duty cop, who got wasted. For those who may not be following the news, please note that this cop was a Muslim, who gave his life defending the right of free speech of the people who were insulting the cop's religion. As for the editor and staff they got the Darwin Award as far as I am concerned. Fuck them, they were fucking racist assholes who did their best to make this world uglier and bring it down to their level. The Takfiri Salafist brainwashed assholes who did this are also exemplars of the same disease, coming from a different direction. Nor am I sad that they are dead either. I abhor and condemn their actions, and don’t think anybody should die for expressing their thoughts – even if those thoughts are repugnant racist crap like Charlie Hebdo excelled at sullying the earth with. But in the same breath, I find nothing, even remotely admirable in the ugly stereotyping ethnic hatred that was their staple fare. Nor do I mourn their loss, they did their level best to piss off 1.2 billion people on this planet and eventually some really pissed off violent crazies – from the group their hate speech targeted – took matters into their own murderous hands. It also would have been much preferable if the terrorists had been captured alive, so they could have been tried for their crimes like common criminals. -Chris Thank you Chris for your post -- appreciate it!
