France
Things seem to be escalating recently with Islamic terrorism following the murder of Samuel Paty: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Samuel_Paty. Hopefully this subsides and doesn't turn into a full blown insurgency of sorts. If anyone is going to lash back though it's the French which is why it could get ugly...

Re: France
I'm partially convinced that there's a lot of things wrong at the moment in France and it's becoming a domino effect of riots & civil unrest lately. I don't think it's specifically isolated to islamic terrorism, but I could be wrong. I haven't exactly done my research on the subject of what's going on over there, just noting that they're getting some international attention over the unrest going on over there for various reasons.
This happened at Champigny-sur-Marne in the south-eastern suburbs of Paris on October 12th https://rmx.news/article/article/vid...-and-iron-bars https://twitter.com/InfosFrancaises/...82042213122048 This happened the other night (29th) in Lyon, France regarding a Turkish/Armenian conflict. https://news.am/eng/news/610391.html https://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...-b1422175.html |

Re: France
The French (and by heavy association Québec) has always been big on secularism and freedom to criticize. In their case though, they take it to a sort of extreme to the point of restricting religious garments if you hold public office (though I understand the argument that if you represent the state, you need to be impartial and represent its secularism). Francophones have a very complicated and strained relationship with religion and this is most certainly going to fan the flames. Islamophobia will be rampant.
This does invite an interesting discussion about religion and what the state can and cannot do in terms of regulating faith.

Re: France

y'all realize how offensive drawing prophet muhammad-- who first of all shouldn't be drawn in the first place-- NAKED is? like... dude, muslims were ENRAGED. in islam it's very important not to draw or take pictures of important figures so that they're not idolized edit: or... i guess ridiculed too i ain't supporting anyone dying over anything though. i know charlie hebdo was attacked for the comics

Choof's post is accurate and I should have expected this topic to be a non-starter. That said, most of you must understand that a significant portion of the Islamic faith is morally fucked up but y'all would rather stick your heads in the sand whether it's out of fear (wonder why) or because you don't think it's your problem. Well it might be some day sooner than you think, hence why I wanted to discuss this in the first place. Conflicts like these could be the precursor to something bigger and I think it's worth keeping an eye on. |

I'm a big supporter of secularism especially when it comes to various lobbies affecting political decisions. Though I realize my views are very biased and probably would censor religious opinions/influence on politics which is hypocritical.

Re: France
You don't have to buy or support satire that mocks [group] if that ain't your thing, and any sane person won't go off and kill someone else because of some joke. Unless of course you have no intention to be a civil member of society, or are an insane savage clinging to one of the most backwards cultural distortions of religious teachings there is today.

For us specifically Dynamo, we live in a place where we have publicly funded Catholic schools. I went to one. That is a way bigger of a problem to me and bigger threat to my well being than random islamic extremists. There's literal religious indoctrination being provincially funded I agree with you in that I think Islam is a net negative to society but I feel the same way about all religions. and honestly Catholics have a lot more influence on me personally so I'd rather talk about that |

If this is purely extremism and not representative of a significant portion the faith, why are Muslim leaders around the world consistently either silent or even in support of this behaviour? Why do polls conducted by Pew Research Centre confirm these views aren't in the extreme at all? Apostacy = death, that's a generally accepted view in the Muslim world. Homosexuality is no different. Don't even get me started on women's rights. The founder of the religion was a warlord who conducted raids and gathered a following through the use of violence and barbarism. It is the only Abrahamic religion that describes how to conduct war. This is part of the reason why even the most liberal reformists have a hard time "interpreting" the Quran in a peaceful light.

Re: France
It's too easy to write off criticism of something as -phobia especially when you yourself brought nothing to the discussion. Elaborate your point!
