@Cole69361910 @emlynaddison @ViveCharIie @Prolient @louididdy @JihadistJoe my point is simple; drop it if its offensive
@HPluckrose If our beef is with Islamic attitudes, then what is the rationale for using a religious idol? Because it's offensive?

@emlynaddison Its not as though I'm going to thrust a cartoon of Muhammad having sex with a pig in a Muslim's face over lunch.
-
@HPluckrose You might as well be; that's my point. This contest had patently nothing to do with "solidarity" with Charlie Hebdo. It was > -
@emlynaddison No! If anyone tried to force Muslims to attend the competition, this wld be utterly different. Have the right not to attend it
-
@HPluckrose That's irrelevant. We're holding CONTESTS to see who can draw the most vile portrait of Muhammed? THIS is our best idea?? -
@emlynaddison Also it is not irrelevant whether ppl are forced to hear or see other's speech. Its absolutely central to human rights.
-
@HPluckrose And it ain't cartoons of some prophet riding a donkey ffs. -
.@emlynaddison I disagree and think when someone says you can't do something on pain of death, needs to be done, even if distasteful.
-
@HPluckrose existing bigots/xenophobes that Muslims can't be trusted. We've learned nothing. THAT is not what free speech is for.

.@emlynaddison As soon as ppl say "You can't break the rules of my faith or I will kill you" we have a duty to break those rules thoroughly.

@emlynaddison that religious idol is pretty problematic in itself. This is one of the concerns.

@emlynaddison I'm offended by ppl saying I'm inherently wicked & corrupt & deserve to be tortured for all eternity. They can still say it.

@emlynaddison Because it is not allowed to depict him & some would force this rule on non-Muslims.
