I know this is a bit of a late thread, but I kept on forgetting to make it. Post your thoughts down below, if you wish.

I hope South park makes an episode actually showing Muhammad it'd be great

I mean sure they are allowed to do what they want, but honestly after the first time, after people are killed because they feel like making jokes I think they should just stop. They're just instigating the issue further, for both terrorists and for normal, peaceful Islamists/Muslims. Enough is enough sometimes.

I have every right to make autism jokes when I see someone with down syndrome in a store. I also have the foresight to know that I would have the shit kicked out me too for making the joke. I wouldn't blame them either.

I don't like this poll because you can believe in both of the first two options at the same time.

People have the right to say what they want. However when you say or do something that crosses a line you should be prepared for backlash. Unfortunately in this case the backlash was bullets. I also feel like I should point something out and ask a question. From what I understand Charlie Hebdo had drawn quite a few offensive pictures of Mohammed, which in Muslim culture is wrong or a sin (sorry if that's not the right name or religion). What if they had drawn a controversial image of God or Jesus? Would people still have felt the same way about their right for freedom of speech? I very much doubt it. People would have petitioned and made a fuss until someone with power made them change it. I'm not trying to make what the monsters did acceptable, but I very much doubt the Muslim community would have been able to change it as easily as Christians would be able to. And now because of these terrorists Muslims will have a much harder time having something changed through political means that does cross that line. Now that I think about it, does anyone know if anyone complained about the previous pictures? I'd really like to know. [spoiler]This wasn't meant to offend or upset anyone. I used Christianity and God as examples because of it's popularity in North America.[/spoiler]

I think they have every right to but they really need to exercise some discretion.
