@Puppeteer: Thank you very much. I have not hoped to convince anybody here. I'm very glad about this. It's not meant personal, that I didn't hope to convince anybody here, because I thought I'm better or you're all dumb, it's just the heat of debate. Normally this ends up in a cathastrophee in a forum and I'm really glad it turned out so much better.

@sebcrea: Of course I do drink alcohol and I do eat pork. But there is a big difference. If I am invited to a muslimic event, let's assume a marriage, I still have the right to drink alcohol and to eat pork. Even there. But it is inappropriate. It hurts the religious feelings of my invitors. So why should I offend them? In order to show them my rights? For sure not. In many cases it proves much more strength to disclaim your rights, even if they are granted to you.

Btw.: I do care about radical muslims. I wrote that I don't give a fuck if their feelings are hurt. If and how they are a threat to whom is another question. However, you won't defeat muslimic or whatever radical forces by doing something they accuse you of. I can't agree with your historical interpreation, that appeasement never secured freedom. It may be due to the fact that we never tried this.

It's kinda funny that you say that I act out of fear. I don't fear the loss of my free speech. You do fear the loss. And it's even funnier that you claim, that you lost your freedom of speech because I want to tell you how you have to act. I told my opinion to this topic and that is exactly what freedom of speech grants me. You have to decide what you do on your own. That has no influence on your rights.

I even never said that I tolerate radical islamists. But I do tolerate every other peacefull man or woman. And in my opinion that is exactly the basis for freedom of speech. If you fear the loss of your freedom of speech you should not show your disrespect for other religions. And by doing pictures of mohammed, which is clearly a tabu in the islamic world, you're just doing that: showing your disrespect.

So important I have to write it again: In many cases it proves much more strength to disclaim your rights, even if they are granted to you.


Always learn from history, to be sure you make the same mistakes again...
