@Cole69361910 @emlynaddison @ViveCharIie @Prolient @louididdy @JihadistJoe my point is simple; drop it if its offensive
@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 That is absolutely central. The right to free expression can never include the right to force others to listen/look
-
@HPluckrose Again, it's irrelevant to my point: that we shouldn't be patting ourselves on the backs like this is a win for free speech. -
@emlynaddison You don't have to like the form of expression to defend its right to exist or to see that it might be a valid response.
-
@HPluckrose Not once have I asserted that this form of free speech is invalid. I only question our judgment in its application.
