What about Jesus, Moses and countless other prophets that people mock in cartoons, sketches and magazines? These are prophets who all are featured in Islam.
Where is the outrage and killings when someone does that?

Condemn at the same time saying free speech is unacceptable. Dog whistles ahoy. Garbage.
They're all Charlie Hebdo cartoons. Here's a larger version of it: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B6xq3MUCAAA7ulV.jpg:large

It's all covers from Charlie Hebdo. Showing that these attacks to silence journalists have achieved the opposite.
I think the lack of centralized Islamic belief structure is quite hurting public perception of the religion. It is completely impossible to say which interpretation of the Qu'ran is correct when there are major differences everywhere and every branch claims the same. There are even differences on seemingly simple stuff like the day Ramadan starts. There is not a single authority that speaks for the entire religion. There is no Pope, there is no Dalai Lama that could be considered worldwide authorities on their religion.
That becomes problematic when you look at news broadcasts. For me personally, I remember Boko Haram, Al-Qaeda, Muslim Brotherhood, Mujahideen, Taliban, Al-Shabaab, Ansar al-Sharia, Hezbollah, Sharia 4 Belgium, al-Aqsa Martyr's Brigade and Hamas. These are muslim terroristic organisations that were mentionned on television in 2014. That is a lot of organisations.
You have some imams denouncing these groups but it is really hard to gather their credentials. What would you say if a random priest from a random country claims that Catholic priests are investigated for sexual acts with kids and that it is just a small minority. It is a lot different if the pope claims that. It is also difficult to know which of these imams can be trusted as at the same time, there are imams under investigation for supporting the earlier terrorist groups. For instance, one of the popular Belgian imams was Iliass Azaouaj, he was killed while fighting in Syria. One of his collegues was suspected of getting young people to join IS.

Really. I suggest you read:

Page 297-307
that is just hardcore though. I mean...they knew there would be a reprisal, but kept pushing the line. I mean, that's journalism and art and expression yeah, but there is also poking the bear you've already seen. Since they were firebombed and have been target of threats for years.
There is principle and integrity, and as fervently as some believe in religion, some others believe in free expression. I get it. I mean even the extremists have to understand that acts like this in the face of the defiance of their victims makes them look weak and misguided, since some people on both sides seem willing to sacrifice their lives for their beliefs.
The problem, or maybe opportunity here, is the cracks. The imagery. No one can justify the acts of these extremists these past months, and it could be perfect time to have not just a conversation but a deliberative assembly with Muslim leaders about not only how to react but how we're all going to agree to view and act against religious extremism in all its forms.

Dude, You're a joke. How many people were killed or persecuted during the Spanish inquisition purely for being Jewish or Muslim. Following your logic extremist christians and jews are no different than their gods and religious figures

That hasn't been my experience at all with the Muslims I've met in London. They've been very liberal.
There's the occasional street preacher who comes across as a little too devout, but it's no different from a devout using a loudspeaker to shout that the end is coming and that we must repent our sins.
I'd personally like street preaching to be banned, but freedom of speech. Fuckers have ruined every single one of my lunch hours this week with their drivel.

No, he did not. Unlike Muhammad, Jesus didn't command mass murder and rape, engage in slave trade, marry and rape a child or his son's widow, order the deaths of those who mocked him or lead raids to loot and enslave merchants.

I live in the european country with more muslim immigrants after france and yeaaaah, thats not going to happen.
Lots of muslims can adapt perfectly to their new home, and still hold their beliefs and have numerous places for worship, and don't give a fuck if there is a parody of their god. Then there's the extremists (like the killers or the people that defend their actions), and im not going to respect anything they do, same with catholic or any other type extremists in any other religion or ideology. Fuck them.
Also what are they going to do when other races or idologies have different beliefs that clash with them? they are not the only big immigrant community appearing in these countries.
And once again, it makes no difference to the point he was making. It does seem to be a questionable point, but these fucking weak attempts at rebuttals are even worse.

muslims are compensating for their small dicks/pride by killing satirists. in response to the titanic cover.
I'm not sure if a clearly Islamic text is the best source here. There's no effort to hide its bias.

Jesus, parents disowning their own flesh and blood over something as small as that?

You're the joke. What aboutism is so irrelevant. It's not a defense of bad behavior to point out other bad behavior. Especially that which is hundreds of years old.

People shouldn't feel entitled to be free from offense. By catering to them, I think you make people feel more justified to commit acts like this.

Actually he does (Bill talks about so much shit on his show its hard to catologue it all).
The article is a fact check of both Maher and Aslan on the issue of female genital mutilation in Africe. Maher suggested it was an Islamic problem, while Aslan suggested it was a Central African problem. Politifact finds that basically Aslan is right. Female genital mutilation is basically centered in Central Africa, in both Christian and Islamic countries, but apparently the Muslims there support the practice (which is where Maher got the idea from). So if evidence were brought to Maher that Christians from America were encouraging people in Africa to cut on women's privates, I imagine he would be pretty upset about it, and would criticize the Christians doing it (I didn't know that was a thing until you brought it up). Maher criticizes Christians all the time. He does the same for Muslims. Just because he's wrong sometimes doesn't make him a bigot.

As I see it, the "unacceptable" part is tacitly endorsing the attacks.
Is this Islamic fanfiction?

Exactly. Pretty simple. And yet some people here can't seem to wrap their heads around that...
Might as well just hand them the reigns of power if you're going to bow down to them that easily.
Not that uncommon among the religious fundamentalists of any faith, unfortunately.
Your post was exactly as helpful as telling him to read the Bible, the Torah and the Coran and come back to him.
So if you have a point I suggest pointing it out instead of Gish Galloping.

its giving a historical story of the events of the one person from at least 50 sources across 10 pages including hadith and historical books. which do you trust, a wiki post or this. lol
Do you know that 2 of the 12 people killed were muslims ?
One of them a police officer whose name was Ahmed. The other one a cartoonist called Mustapha. What about them ?
Most muslims in France are 3rd and 4th generation muslims and come from countries that belonged to our colonial empire. Same thing as indians in britain. We have a long common history. And these are not immigrants who are threatening our society, it's kids born and raised in France, who became thugs in their teens, went to prison and once free got radicalized. These weren't kids who started praying at age 3 and had parents who told them to go behead infidels.
Keyword, you Imagine.
He hasn't officially announced it, by whatever means people are condemning the muslim community for not doing, so, Its safe to say that still going by the logic of him not feeling muslim protest, is an indication of lack of interest. The man isn't interested. Thats certainly not an unfair statement based on his statement at the lack of response from the entire muslim community.
He is what he is. I think hes a scumbag, and this is someone who watched the damn show religiously when going through my de-Republicanism phase. I'm bringing it up because it was listed in the terribad things ISLAM is doing in the world, that muslims all need to officially speak out against. Its a contradiction fueled by the government. As our relationship with Saudi Arabia highlights. The criticisims against Islam, could equally be placated to Christianity in the western world. So when these things and statements are made, they can't be taken from any point of honestly or nobility, imo.
I'm not interested in antagonizing other citizens for some banker to get a bonus. That is what I feel the anti-islam sentiment in the western world is.
