Anyone else starting to think, it is time to respect other religions & beliefs? Nothing wrong with protests, but are things going too far?

No excuse for the murders in France.and any other terrorist attacks, BUT..Continuing to ridicule another religion is inciting more anger & violence. Enough has been said about "freedom of speech"!!

Update:

Everyone has gotten the message... now time to act like intelligent humans

    The only way forward, and the only way to world peace, is total acceptance of all. That means all faiths. The problem is that some faiths require, as a condition of belief, that all other faiths be disputed and counted as heresy. In this context, there can be no peace.

    I personally believe that religion is the greatest hindrance to world peace that exists. This does not diminish my belief in God in any way. In fact, I believe MORE in God after having dispensed with the evangelistic fundamentalist teachings I was raised with.

    On the contrary, if people are going to behave like violent irrational savages to defend their imaginary gods they should be mocked mercilessly and incessantly.

    Vile oafs who think they can intimidate others by shooting, stabbing, burning and rioting deserve nothing but our complete and utter contempt.

    How many attacks by Al-Qaeda were provoked because Muhammad was being ridiculed? They don't need an excuse to kill.

  • It is, mockery and ridicule has grown out of hand these days. We should love one another like Christ asked us to.
