These are false comparisons. This is an approved demonstration against Islamic violence(and such). But I guess we all forgot about Charlie H and all the rest. The man did not walk into a mosque on a Tuesday and light a book on fire.
- Individuals are responsible for their own actions. Blaming an entire group for the actions of a few goes against the principles of justice and fairness. Attributing the actions of extremists to all Muslims is like blaming all Christians for the actions of a few extremists within that group. Extremism exists in all religions and ideologies.
  
  No, this is a systemical issue with Islamic countries
  
  Attributing a complex issue to an entire group of countries oversimplifies the situation. Just as with any region, Muslim-majority countries are diverse, each with its unique political, cultural, and historical context.
  Blaming all Muslim countries for a problem oversimplifies the factors contributing to the situation. It's important to address specific issues within individual countries rather than making blanket generalizations about an entire religion or group of nations.
  
  No, there's a red line of true harsh oppression going on in Islamic countries in general. This is what is being protested
  
  I understand your concern about instances of oppression in some Islamic countries. It's important to address human rights violations and support efforts to create positive change.
  However, it's crucial to remember that oppression can occur in any society, regardless of religious affiliation. Rather than attributing these issues to an entire religion or region, we should focus on advocating for human rights, raising awareness, and supporting efforts that promote justice and equality for all.
  Painting an entire group with a broad brush doesn't help us understand the complexities of these situations or work toward meaningful solutions.
  
  It's not*** painting, it's being against a specific culture and pretending it doesn't exist makes it worse
  
  I don't even understand what you're trying to say here. Maybe get some sleep.
  
  You too (edited)
  
  Need another run at it. It looks like you're saying I'm pretending a specific culture doesn't exist.
  
  Kind of my feelings. For the Islamic world is terribly oppressive
- Yeah but if you insult the mob you can't be all surprised if they try to kill you. Free speech protects you from the government. We live in a world were everyone doesn't recognize the same rules law and order.
  I look at this the same way as a white guy singing a bunch of rap songs using the n-word as emphatically as possible then posting it on youtube. Sure you have the right to say it but that's not going to stop you from getting your ass beat
  
  Yes, I can be surprised. There's no free speech if people can't argue against regimes, wrongdoings, women being treated unequal, slavery, etc. That is the problem exactly. Also the same false comparison
