Islam isn’t a country. It’s an ideology that can be practiced by anyone.
"or"
I don't think this attitude suitable in the diverse community where there are different ethnics or religons. People should care what the other find things unconfortable and should be aware that what you think acceptable is may not so for the others.
Of course if you mean let them do their own things and you do not mean offense or insult them, I thank you for your understanding.
Edit: to clarify what I mean.
What I mean, you shoud consider to stop yourself before you do things that controversial. Or do you keep silence if other people do things that you find offensive? Some other may not keep silence and may resort violence, and it is not limited to islam. Once again, I do not like violence or oppression when we can avoid those by respecting each others and talks nicely when any conflict happens.
Edit: typo and be more clear
Those who push their religious views on others and also use their religion to justify violence are extremely minority, majority of muslims do not do those things. And "bad muslims" always in those media or news because who would read articles about "nice muslim". So you should know what I mean.
And insulting *any* religions is not acceptable and deserve to be punished. As for beheading punishment though, I do not have enough knowledge to comment about it.
Why?
I believe all religions are a bunch of bullshit. Almost all of them regard this belief as a mortal insult. Should I get punished for that?
The only tenable way to treat religions in a liberal democracy is like any other belief. You get full freedom to practice any one you want, or none of them, or even more than one at the same time for all I care, but you don't get any special status or moral authority.
You may believe in no religion, but I don't think you should say that in public. Especially in front of any religius person you say "your religion is bullshit!".
> Should I get punished for that?
Maybe if that as insult to others.
> The only tenable way to treat religions in a liberal democracy is like any other belief. You get full freedom to practice any one you want, or none of them, or even more than one at the same time for all I care, but you don't get any special status or moral authority.
I agree to this point. But you do not automatically have right to insult other's believe.
If you want to protect "good Muslims", you need to accept liberal values that include being able to "insult" a religion without fear of violent attack.
> As for beheading punishment though, I do not have enough knowledge to comment about it.
What the fuck does this even mean? You think there's some conceivable situation where it's justified to react to "being insulted" with a beheading? You can fuck right off with the rest of the extremists.
Sure enough we do not need law about this. But should we actively offending others because we do not agree to them when we can go by beeing nice each other. Even if we do not share what is critism what is insult, I apologize if you feel offended.
> If you want to protect "good Muslims", you need to accept liberal values that include being able to "insult" a religion without fear of violent attack
Even if there is no violence, anyone should not insult others. And anyone who do violence or murder should be punished by law.
≥ You think there's some conceivable situation where it's justified to react to "being insulted" with a beheading?
No, I think there's no conceivable situation where it's justified to react to "being insulted" with a beheading.
> You can fuck right off with the rest of the extremists.
When I ask anyone to be nice to each other is extremist, well sorry.
Of course violence and terrorist is not right regardless of any reason.
As for punishment, I don't mean death punishment. At max should be jail or fine.
So the question needs to be cast in another light, sure. It's a hard problem that isn't solved by calling on an ideology.
Schools should be too ( only partial now)
Not sure if the professor felt existential about it but she said:
“I am showing you this image for a reason. And that is that there is this common thinking that Islam completely forbids, outright, any figurative depictions or any depictions of holy personages. While many Islamic cultures do strongly frown on this practice, I would like to remind you there is no one, monothetic Islamic culture,”
Some cultures are just more violent ( eg. Look at fifa world cup and marocco people through Europe).
Are you denying that they are more violent?
