big difference between "understand" and "being understanding".

Yes. Therein lies the misunderstanding.
I agree with that but you can't ignore him saying 4X killing them was no good.
Clearly trolls are trying to take things out of context...
Understand means understand...
I understand what lead them to do it.. I understand how they got to.that point..
Is it right .. no
Is it ok.. no
Is it good.. no
Is it avoidable. . Heck ya...
They easiest factor to nullify in this mess is the provocations. .
The extremist imams will always be there just like the extremist priest and rabbis.. but if they cant use any thing as proof then one of their excuses is nullified...
No shortage of politicians and actors to make fun of.... make fun of an imam or priest not my problem. ... HATE CREATES HATE. ..

You mean..censorship. I'm sorry, I'm dead against that in a country that has freedom of speech.
Some level of respect and conttol.must be practiced either voluntarily (my preference) or forcefully.. if not its dog eat dog.. not an ideal of a civilized society
You really think we dont have one sided censorship now? It exists already but it's one sided.. it need to be fair and even... to respect all not just a few
Lol re: religious leaders 'if they can't use anything as proof'
Hello klr.. we are talking about the crackpots.. not the leaders of the masses
Wow! Understandable.
Some people (mainly sunny) are trying to confuse us.. trying to swap understandable with acceptable... its not acceptable.. but understanding the basics/background is a necessity now

Ive been told this article was racist by some people here...even though its about a person with considerable influence on a politician...btw the article in question was posted a few weeks after one of the mohammad mockery cartoons.. you decide if its a double standard or not

They should have murdered them instead of firing them
No they shouldve never posted hate speech... jokes should be jokes and nothing more
Respectfully religion and 'proof' don't exactly go hand in hand regardless of title.
I unfortunately agree with you.. thats often not the case.. it should be though.. gets rid of doubt
Yes..and.cartoons are jokes. Sometimes they are cruel. Often a proportion of people might find them offensive. But they are legal unless they incite hatred/violence and I'm sorry, but I really think what incites the hatred and violence from both sides has nothing to do with a few cartoons and a lot to do with medieval attitudes towards society.
Religion, politics, any of these are ripe for satire. They are often absurd and nonsense to many people and so make the perfect target for cartoons and satire.
Lets agree to disagree
Jokes are said with the limits of the topic and those who would view it... a white guy going to a black neighborhood unfamiliar to him and call out to all the N****z will probably also get a violent response.. cause its not a joke and itsnot funny

These attacks created more cartoons... kind of like poking a bees nest. I blame the terrorists for all the cartoons and islamohatred that came after. If they didn't shoot the cartoonists then other cartoonists wouldn't have made more cartoons. If they didn't shoot the cartoonists then mosques wouldn't have been vandalised.
Masjids were being vandalized looong before any of the cartoons
Islamophobia has gone mainstream since late 80's.. so you understand what came first... llooooong before ANY organized extremist attacks in the west...

The tinder may have been dry or smoldering in some places, this has sparked some fires. I've seen a number of people that were fence sitters choose sides over this.
