I figured you hadn’t read the whole context to what I was responding.
Right on, Captain Craig.
So when or where do we get off teasing a retarded child?
I mean these ‘rent-a-mob’ types are a few bricks short of a load. So in teasing this problem child “in the name of freedom” is a farce.
We know what they’ll do, so why provoke them? Do we really thing we prove how free we are by imflaming the issue more?
Ah, this is just stupid, why wasn’t such an uproar done over the 3 Christian girls who got beheaded? If anything that is a direct attack on our society.
Seems our values are screwed.
Does anyone know what heppened to the WesternStandard.ca I’m getting “Bad Request (Invalid Hostname)”?
I stick by my comment posted previously.
Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.
Anyone here offended by a cartoon of Jesus taking it up the ass by Satan watching hurricane Katrina demolish New Orleans?
You could publish it – Why would you?
mrtisaduffer, you don’t get it either!
It’s not a case of doing it because we can!
It’s a case of “We have to because we will not be cowered.” As we say in Newfoundland, ” arya dense or wa?”
Capt. Craig:
I don’t consider myself “dense or wa?”. If I tried hard I could probably find a few other people don’t either.
I could go into a gay bar and make fun of the fags inside and claim “I will not be cowered”. I could go into a Synagoge and make fun of all the Jews inside – perhaps a few holocaust jokes would go over well – and claim “I will not be cowered”. I could go to Fort McMurray and make jokes about the utter stupidity of the fishermen from Newfoundland who can’t catch fish but sure suck the money out of the rest of the country – and claim “I will not be cowered”.
Why would I want to?
It is easy to offend people based on race, religion, sex, etc. I don’t see what purpose it serves.
Would you publish the cartoon I mentioned above?
Capt Newf…
I’d agree, but everyone seems to miss the point they were not rioting against Canada or Western Standard.
These cartoons have been out since September and were even printed in Egypt last month or something.
This has something to do with Denmark sitting on a council to review Iran’s Nuclear program.
Timing is a bit suspicious don’t you think?
So, Western Standard and Ezra have devalued their position in my eyes.
Oh and by the way, I guess we can thank them for reinforcing the “redneck bigot” others view Calgary and the West.
Eh, bye?
Perhaps if we got rid of the Pimple on Canada’s Ass (now referred to as Newfoundland) and all the welfare collecting alcoholics who only fish for 2 weeks each year we would have a lot easier time balancing the budget in this country.
We know what they’ll do, so why provoke them? Do we really thing we prove how free we are by imflaming the issue more?
Not the point. Muslim’s intolerant behavior is a by-product of their inability to understand a free press and the 21st century. Their medieval crap shouldn’t get a pass.
So, your position is that no matter how crazy or homicidal the Islamofascists get the press should muzzle itself for fear of provoking and hurting their feelings? Wow. Hitler was a product of a reckless press by your logic too. You could publish it – Why would you?
Maybe you would publish it as a study in extremely offensive images. How about geriatric pedophile Mohammed raping his 9 year old, definately not a consenting bride, 4th wife? Pretty vile as an image, but not offensive in that culture. Maybe the taboo of printing images of Mohammed serves the purpose of not capturing historically all of his different historical roles: pedophile, polygamist, wife beater, thief, warmonger, illiterate. A slide show of that guy wouldn’t be very flattering. Best to ban all images.
Hey, help the Islamofascist protect Mohammed by all means in censoring his image in the west. It’s your right in a free society. We may not respect you, the difference is we won’t kill you.
Carry on.
duffer…oh that was really intelligent…
“My original point is that an editor looking at a cartoon and deciding not to publish it because it is offensive is exercising his or her free speech.”
So an editor silencing an artist is the lefts new free speech.
Heroic.
The editors free will perhaps, would have been expressed but hardly his free speech.
It won’t matter either way though because you are argueing against both free will and free speech.
In your brave new world of free speech you envisage the editor is choosing to silence an artist by quashing the artists free speech. Your justification of “because it is offensive” is rather here nor there. Because the editor does’nt like it, or because he’s scared that muslims will fly airplanes into his office, what would it matter what the editor thoughts were in justifying his decision. Under the newly minted definition of free speech we are not allowed to make that decision of what is offensive ,we have to wait to be told by every single 13th century Muslim fundamentalist Imam in all middle eastern theoracracies as to what is offensive. Under your re-definig of free speech you will be only required to repeat it and shut up.
BTW This is your “original point”
“The whole thing is just so fucking stupid. Both sides”
Which appears to make no judgement of the merits of either side of the argument except in so far as the two sides are equal. Further you similarly and vulgarily dismiss both sides of the argument via what you have left the reader to assume is lazy moral relevancy.

Hey, girly man that’s a cheap and easy statement when you know you’ll never drown in a cup of Starbuck’s latte.
When we vacationed years ago in Lunenberg, NS. I will never forget the The Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic.
It’s a beautiful tribute to the brave men that go out to sea in cold deep dangerous waters.

I just laugh at your ignorance. The Muslims would probably take out a Fatwa on you.
So Rich, my pseudo intellectual friend, let me ask you this. Being the champion of free speech that you are, where were you when christian groups had The Book of Daniel cancelled before the first episode even aired? Where were you when christian groups threatened boycotts over a Will and Grace episode? When Disney tried to pull the plug on Fahrenheit 9/11? The artist being silenced and all that…
Capt Craig: I am glad you laugh at me but I have a feeling some of your inbred gaptoothed alcoholic drug addled oilfield working cousins in Fort McMurray would also take out a Fatwa on me. Should I go and say it just because “I will not be cowered”? I bet that would lead to some violence as well.
P.S. Penny: Never had a latte in my life.

“Where were you when christian groups threatened boycotts over a Will and Grace episode?”
I believe we weight the seriousness of… Openly inviting 13th century blind uneducated hidiously disfigured Islamic Fundamentalist hatespewing pycopaths to become Canada’s censors …differently.
Dr Wright: “….They should look at how many rapes they cause in Denmark.
To be or not to be that is the wests question.
Apparently those rapes are committed on “infidels” and so are allowed. I wish I was kidding, but I’m not. Several months ago I read a piece that brought awareness to the apparent fact that “gang rapes” of western women by men of “middle eastern” descent is on the rise.
This whole cartoon thing has gone beyond “cartoon”, it has become about the “terrorist” fanaticals imposing their will over the free world.Do we give in and bow to them? PPFFTTT!! I only read a few verses in chapter 5 of the Quran to see how intolerant Islam is of other religions. I can see how extremists can twist those words to mean what they are now preaching. And as has been pointed out, they will never be happy until they subjugate the free world. We can only hope they will run out of twits willing to blow themselves up before then.So where is the moderate Muslim community? Why can’t they start cleaning up their religion? I’m sure that they could have pushed efforts in the UK about that radical cleric more fervently. Instead, it was SEVEN yrs before he was finally jailed. Hopefully he’ll be deported when all is done. Until moderate Muslims start taking a stand in their own religion, I can see little headway being made against the corruption of Islam. They know who the radicals are, where they are, and what is being taught/preached. They should take responsibility and start cleaning the “filth” from their religion. And for the record, I’m not religious, and have no religious leanings. That’s right, I’m an “infidel”, but a proud one!
Penny “We may not respect you, the difference is we won’t kill you.”
They won’t be killing him either.

This is a red herring Rich. We were talking about freedom of speech. Why do you suddenly lose all of your passion for it when it’s christians “squashing the artist’s free speech”?
It’s not really about freedom of speech now is it Rich?
Speaking of Daniel entering the lion’s den… I just got on and read the long list of comments and it never fails to amaze me how “out in lefty field” some people are.
Mr duffer equates drawing an image of Mohammed as the same as a verbal attack in the face of a Newfie. Tomax thinks that by publishing the cartoons the west is showing it’s “redneck” to the latte lovers down east. MVH is all for shooting the patient to save them from a cancer, and the rest of you are trying to make a chinook out of a beer fart.
Christian protests have led to a couple of TV shows cancelled but I didn’t see rioting nor burning buildings. To hear the MSM and some commenters here describe it, you would think that these cartoons are totally shocking… not so. Yes, I’ve seen them and actually they are not really that funny. But to ban them from being seen when it is a major news story is a bit hypocritical of the MSM. Kind of like your mother saying you can’t see (whatever) and when curiousity finally gets the better of you then you find out it was much adu about nothing.
Before the rightious get in their high horse ask yourselves this: Why were there no protests back in September or even when they were republished in Egypt in October? Did the Danes not clue in on the recent rise in flag sales to the middle east?
BTW, Newfoundlanders tell the best Newfie jokes around and I have had the priviledge of working and partying (or trying to) with many souls from the rock. God bless them all.
threatened boycotts or undertook violence?
Big difference.
Not even a chance of symmetry, my friend(trolling under multiple ID’s.)
Your next incarnation won’t fool anyone. I would think you’d be bored flaming this site by now.
Bye.
Read the Davinci code if you want to see just how tearing a religion a new one is done.
Well Texas, I have never been called a lefty before. Posted here many times, always agreed with Kate before. I have Muslim aquaintances – peaceful, thoughtful, normal people – who were offended by the idea of their Jesus portrayed as a bomb carrying terrorist. All religions have extremists who take things too far. In the Muslims case way, way too far. Christians have murdered abortion clinic workers in the name of God. God told the Pope many years ago that anyone who does not follow the Catholic faith should be tortured and killed, just don’t shed any blood. Lately God told the Pope that even with AIDS running rampant in parts of the world condoms were a sin. Guess he doesn’t care if millions die because of it. My problem with the cartoons is not that it offends the nutcases out there but that it serves no purpose other than to offend.
Most people wouldn’t tell a joke they didn’t find funny so why print a cartoon that wasn’t funny.
Remember that there is an anti-semitic cartoon contest being held in Iran. I expect The Western Std to print those too. Also, how about those old ‘Jap’ and ‘Kraut-Fritz’ cartoons from WWII? Also those ‘picaninny’ and original Aunt Jemima pics.
google julius streicher–find out how he died and why–it was only 60 yrs ago. Reality check.
Ahhh Duffer, apples and oranges lad. When was the last mass riot at an abortion clinic? Anytime a nutcase has commited a crime for their “cause”, there has been widespread condemnation of the murderer/arsonist. Far different from what the muslim extremists are doing and the reaction from their spiritual leaders.
My point it that: a) I think I’m big enough to see for myself the cartoons without the MSM “protecting” me, and secondly, b) your lumping all Newfs into a stereotype was over the line (but I will not riot or burn down your house).
There will be a battle in the streets with great amounts of blood being spilled if that happened over here in removing our rights.
Would make a great movie, oh wait already done, Saving Private Ryan.
No, due to the political correctness and godless society and generation we have spawned, we’ll roll over and go to sleep.
If an idea of ‘freedom of the press’ revolution is true, well where have these guys been the past 12 years of Liberal corruption and miscarrage of justice?
Today, here in Calgary, Aftergood, who stuffed ballots for his wife in the Ward 10 election pleaded guilty and got a $4,000 fine. Our democratic right was spurned, and this fellow got no time in jail.
Then there’s a stalker who tormented women with phone calls, grafitti, obscene jestures in Okotooks for 11 years only got 4 years jail.
And where is these self righteous “freedom of the press” loving posters now?
Three school age Christian girls get beheaded down in Southeast Asia, what if that was your daughter, where’s the protest over that?
But we got to publish the cartoooooooooons
…freedom of the press…
Right.
Screwed in head, screwed in values.
MVH is all for shooting the patient to save them from a cancer

Pictures Depicting Mohammad Are Not New
It is clear that making pictures is a horrible sin in Islam. There are dozens of narrations that emphasize and reiterate this point. However, it is always said that Allah will punish those people on the Day of Judgment. There is no command for Muslim…
Randy 2:26 pm. My hat is off to you. Excellent insight. This link shows how the Emir of Quatar is using his Al-Jazeera TV and radio network to promote the mindless frenzy in the streets. http://powerlineblog.com/archives/013089.php

OH and you too MRTisaduffer.
Ezra is risking a bomb from some nut to advance the paper via Noteriety.
It works, but advancing on the back of religion trashing cartoons and the losses of embassies, [offices of peace and discusion], and of lives of persons who happen to be in the way, is not exactly *classy*. TG
Why do you suddenly lose all of your passion for it when it’s christians “squashing the artist’s free speech”?
AS i responded on another blog to the same point: Geez, I must have missed the American Embassy bombings in Latin America and Europe, the firebombing of NBC studios across the US, the shooting of NBC stars, and the copious riots and murders in response to the broadcast of “Book of Daniel”.
No one has censored the soi-disant artists here in any meaningful way. There were protests, but they amounted to little more than a press release and a letter campaign which the network was quite free to ignore, with little risk other than perhaps losing a couple of show-specific advertising accounts. If the folks behind the show want to go on and do “risky” programs to make their limo-liberal friends feel all rebellious for managing to shake up a few easily-offended sorts (oooh! Gay priests and lesbians! How very challenging!) they’re perfectly free to find other outlets – like on pay TV, where such doofy crud is hardly uncommon.
Everyone (including all stripes and shades of Islam) should be asking : are these cartoons offending a religion, or offending a barbaric cult which has been around since the dark ages?
Accepted, Shaken.

AS i responded on another blog to the same point: Geez, I must have missed the American Embassy bombings in Latin America and Europe, the firebombing of NBC studios across the US, the shooting of NBC stars, and the copious riots and murders in response to the broadcast of “Book of Daniel”.
No one has censored the soi-disant artists here in any meaningful way. There were protests, but they amounted to little more than a press release and a letter campaign which the network was quite free to ignore, with little risk other than perhaps losing a couple of show-specific advertising accounts. If the folks behind the show want to go on and do “risky” programs to make their limo-liberal friends feel all rebellious for managing to shake up a few easily-offended sorts (oooh! Gay priests and lesbians! How very challenging!) they’re perfectly free to find other outlets – like on pay TV, where such doofy crud is hardly uncommon.
Everyone (including all stripes and shades of Islam) should be asking : are these cartoons offending a religion, or offending a barbaric cult which has been around since the dark ages?
