They shouldn't kill you for insulting him, and most would never do so, but some of them are going to because they are deranged and you pressed their "Crazy" button.
FALSE. Insulting the Prophet is punishable by death in Sharia (Islamic Law) - note, this is a greater penalty than insulting Allah (aka Dushara, the chief god of the Nabateans, see Koran 53:19-20). Charlie Hebdo was killed because Islam commands they must be killed. Your assertion that someone "pressed their Crazy button" is false. They were merely carrying out the commandments of Islam, and doing exactly what Mohammed did to his critics - slaughter them. The ignorance on Slashdot about Islamic doctrines is truly amazing, and the falsehoods and false equivalences Slashdotters ascribe to Islam is simply bizarre. Islam is tge most evil and deceptive totalitarian political ideology that has ever blighted this planet (worse than National Socialism and Communist Socialism, although sharing elements of both). Stop making excuses for jihadis - they do it because Islam commands them to and unlike most Muslims, they actually listen tp Islam.
The "freedom of expression" is a concept that is not divorced from reality. If you believe that such a thing is absolute, you need to be prepared to fight for it, because not everyone believes the same thing.
Clearly you do not understand Freedom of Speech at all - which is why you defend those who oppose it. Freedom of Speech specifically exists for speech that causes offense. There is no need for Freedom of Speech for nice speech about rainbows and unicorns and stuff everyone agrees on. Free Speech is about all the nasty bits that offend you or others - and is necessary so that those in power and their falsehoods can be challenged. Do you not understand this? Furthermore, the Free Speech problem against the man-made ideology called "Islam" but the fact that Western Governments do not defend their citizens practicing Free Speech (because Western Governments do not actually believe in Free Speech).
Free Speech must be absolute. Otherwise you get into massive moral difficulties as to who gets to censor? who decides what is "offensive" or not? who appoints the "censors" (which is the most powerful position in a supposedly Free Society). It is not the Government's place to censor my thoughts or jokes or opinions. Only closest totalitarians cannot see this truth - which makes such people very dangerous, and very easily led by the sociopaths and demagogues that infest the 'political class'.
Why not stand up for Free Speech instead of providing a smokescreen for totalitarians (which Islamicists are but one) ? that is the moral and evolved thing to do !
Why is it good? why is de-industralization good? it is killing old people in Europe who can't afford the 'green' energy at three times the price (Google it).
If you understand math, then you should see Climate Scientist Murray Salby's presentation on climate change - he lays out the math for for you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...
If you want to rant, fine - but please watch the video first and understand the math. Then we can have a discussion.
No, socialism is the workers owning the means of production. There are various forms of socialism, many opposed to eachother, but this is the only common thread.
Completely FALSE. No wonder you are so confused Davy. You are still in the Matrix, so please let me help you out of it. Ready? here are the definitions:
Communism: State control of the means of production. State control of the Fruits of Production. A form of Socialism at the Extreme Left of the political spectrum.
Fascism: State control of the Fruits of Production. The means of production remain in private hands (but may be directed by the State). A form of Socialism are the Far Left of the political spectrum.
Socialism: "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need". One of numerous forms of involuntary wealth re-distribution enforce via State coercion (ie. implicit force from the State). Wealth is confiscated from the productive to the politically favored by the politically powerful. An involuntary "win-lose" system.
Free Market: system where both parties engage in **voluntary** trade. Since the trade is voluntary exchanges only happen if both sides feel they are gaining, thus it is a "win-win" system.
except for a massive police and military industrial complex needed to protect private property, that while its at it winds up abusing even the self-proffessed rights of small time property owners, and harrassing people for petty moralist issues. Also, people with stuff are more or less allowed to tell people without stuff what to do. Don't like it? Its your fault for not having enough stuff.
Can you not see through the neo-Marxist propaganda you've been indoctrinated with? Everything you've been talking about involves a Big State using its power against citizens. The problem is not wealthy people, per se, the problem is wealthy people who use that wealth to influence the Big State. This is called 'cronyism'. You can see this in effect today where the Billionaires (George Soros, Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, etc) have massive control over the Democratic Party in the US and the Democratic Party passes laws that benefit those billionaires (such as the block on the Keystone XL pipeline that would massively boost the US economy, and result in millions finding work through flow-on effects, but the Democrats nix it because the key donor Warren Buffet makes a lot of money shipping oil by rail). The Republicans are not much better. Cronyism has gotten so bad that citizens in the US had to form their own political movement (the 'Tea Party') in utter disgust at what both Democrats and Republicans were doing. But the problem does not rest with the wealthy. The problem lies with Big Government that has too much power over citizen lives. But of course the neo-Marxists don't want you to know that Big Government is the true problem - because they want a Government so big that they have all the say over you life and you have none.
Unless, of course, you think that you'll be one of the control freaks in the Big State that tells other people how to live their lives. Is that you davy? Are you one of the dangerous authoritarians that are a mortal threat to every Free Man?
unless that stuff is immoral, or its inconvient for the largest stuffholders. Of course you just might not be allowed to own stuff because you don't own the procedes of your labor.
Socialism is predicated on the idea that wealth is a 'fixed pie' and thus must be shared evenly. This is completely retarded because it doesn't recognize the Truth, that 'wealth is created'. Don't understand? well, consider Steve Jobs making the first iPhone. Through the power of his creativity and ideas alone he was able to make a whole new industry, create massive wealth for himself and his workers, create wealth for workers in China too, and create wealth that was taxed to help the poor. The wealth that was c
What is socialism? "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need". Marx later used the same idea.
Socialism is the belief that the Collective matters more than the individual. Hence, socialism uses the coercive power of the State for INVOLUNTARY (hence, immoral) redistribute from the productive (talented and hard-working) to the politically favored - for the political power benefit of the political class. Of course, the bloated Government gets its cut (60% of revenue, usually) of the wealth taken from the tax slaves - and thus is relatively inefficient. Because of this, there is little incentive to work hard, and thus over time all socialist states degenerate to a level of equality in misery - except for the political class who have virtually unlimited power and wealth.
Contrast the immorality of involuntary socialism with the VOLUNTARY (and thus, moral) 'charity' practiced by the political Right (the Individualists like Conservatives and Libertarians, who stand in contrast to the totalitarian Collectivist Borg of the Left). Charity does not result in a growth of Big Government, does not result in the Government using coercion to take what you worked for, and is 2.5 times more efficient in helping the poor than socialism (because government doesn't steal the tax take).
Most Slashdotters have never heard this truth (and many resist the truth). Why? because they are indoctrinated by the Big State Collectivists who don't want you to understand that it is (Leftist) Socialism that is immoral and (Rightist) Charity that is moral. The control-freak Leftists (who control mainstream media) want you to remain a tax slave where they can regulate every tiny aspect of your life - because the political class is so arrogant it thinks it knows what is better for you life than you do.
In contrast to the tax enslavement and total regulation of your life that the Left is trying to achieve look at what the Right offers instead:
1) Leave me alone! (small Government)
2) Don't take my stuff! (private property that the Government cannot take from you), and
3) Don't be a jerk! (virtuous citizenry, which is required in order that points 1 & 2 be possible).
Bill Whittle does and excellent job at explaining these: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...
So, you can defend immoral and involuntary socialism if you want - just don't try and force us Free Men into your mad scheme - which is what socialism has to do, because the productive, hard-working and talented want no part of that unjust system that is destined to fail because it does not understand that **wealth is created** (see how Steve Jobs created massive wealth using his good ideas and talent alone). Because socialism doesn't work that is why the political class always ends up killing hundreds of millions and oppressing even more to try and stave off the collapse of the socialist system that not only does not work (as proven in dozens of countries for over a century), it CANNOT WORK.
Watch now as the slaves of the Borg rage in their prison of indoctrination and mod down the Truth - that socialism is completely immoral and can never work.
"and go back to focusing on beating up leftists."
The Left and the Muslims are together. Who do you think brings the Muslims in en-masse (as future voters for the Left) ? who defends Islam? the Left. There are numerous Marxist attacks around the World all the time - for example, a Marxist woman blew herself up at an Istanbul police station last week. But you did not hear about this because the Left are in control of the mainstream media. They also never tell you that National Socialism IS socialism, and nearly all violence is perpetrated by the collectivists of one form or another of the Left , or their Islamic allies.
Yes, I know you have never thought about this, and every source of information tells you otherwise. This is the disinformation of The Matrix designed so that you never understand what the Cultural Marxists are doing. And they are very, very good at reducing the signal with the noise of disinformation ("Islam is a Religion of Peace", "National Socialism ois Far Right " [nope, Fascists are collectivists and thus Far Left, and the Libertarians are the true Far Right]).
if you want to escape the Matrix I cannot recommend the book "Disinformation" by Lt Gen Ion Mihai Pacepa highly enough. The question is, will you resist the truth when you hear it?
Who are these mythical 'moderate' Muslims? To oppose jihad is apostasy and is punishable by death. 'Moderate' Muslims are Muslims in Name Only (and are being slaughtered by the pious Muslims, like ISIS and Al Qaeda and Boko Haram and Hamas and Hezbollah and the Muslims Brotherhood).
According to a 2012 Pew Survey at least half of all Muslims (around 800 million of thej World's rapidly growing 1.6 Billion Muslims) believe in enforcing one or more parts of the Sharia (the barbaric Islamic Law):
"Ben Shapiro: The Myth of the Tiny Radical Muslim Minority" [6 mins] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...
You are being fed with disinformation, there are no "moderate" Muslims. According to Sharia there are only Muslims (the ones who participate or *support* the ***mandatory*** jihad) and 'apostates' (who are supposed to be killed, and are, all over the globe): http://www.thereligionofpeace....
You are completely correct. In Sharia, 'slander' of Muslims does not mean telling falsehoods (as it does in the West), it means 'anything a Muslims doesn't want to hear' - especially from a 'kafir which is translated as infidel but is a pejorative closer to 'n*gger'. Non-Muslims are considered subhuman by Sharia.
Major Stephen Coughlin lays the truth about Sharia (Islamic Law) out for you:
Stephen Coughlin, Part 2: Understanding the War on Terror Through Islamic Law [58 mins] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...
Islamicists do not want you to know the truth about Islamic law, and they are obliged to lie to you it if advances Islam (there are for types of deception Islam commands: taqiyya, kitman, tawriya and muruna): http://www.annaqed.com/en/isla... http://www.islam-watch.org/aut...
When a Muslim cleric denounces "terrorism and killing of innocents" this is also a deception. Under Sharia, unlawful warfare is anyone who resists jihad. Our counter-terror forces and militaries are thus considered "terrorists" according to Sharia. Similarly, under Sharia "innocents" are Muslims *only*. Non-Muslims can never be innocent, their existence and disbelief is an affront to Allah (who is the Nabatean chief god Dushara).
So when a Muslim cleric condemns "terrorism and killing of innocents" they are condemning the West for killing Muslims and jihadis. They are using the "kitman" deception that Islam obliges them to.
In order to condemn the Charlie Hebdo attacks a Muslim cleric would have to use the words "we condemn jihadis and the killing of all civilians". But they do not - because they agree with the jihadis, as Islamic scripture requires them to.
The precedent for slaughtering the critics of Islamic evil comes from evil Mohammed himself, who ordered many assassinations of his critics: http://www.wikiislam.net/wiki/...
Of course, all of the claims of Islam are false. Historical evidence is emerging that PROVES the claims made about the origins of Islam are all completely false:
