Just sharing a bit of thoughts. Personally, I don't believe it is the
right thing make fun of any religions. Of course, terrorism is
absolutely wrong and no one deserve to be killed just by drawing dark
humor cartoons. But, it is not right that you use "freedom of
expression" to give yourself any right to make fun of anyone. If
"freedom of expression" is interpreted as saying absolutely anything,
whether kind or unkind, right or not right, truth or lie, then the whole
world will be a mess and we won't be able to stop the bullying in any
school.
I am sad to
hear about the killing of the cartoonists. But I wouldn't call it good
or great to make an exhibition showing off those cartoons that make fun
of the Islam. I am not a Muslim, but I don't like anyone making fun of
any religions. It's true...I won't be able to stop them, and if some
people do this to my religion, I would feel sad, but of course, I
wouldn't try to attack or kill them. We are taught to endure and not to
slap back.
But the ISIS are surely not the gentle loving Christians, and their reaction....well, you see.
Actually,
in Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, and other religions....the essence of
the teaching always include peace and love. But now there are those who
interpret it in a different way, how sad!
It's
bad to make fun of any religions, and it is particularly not wise at
all to make fun of a violent political group with their own troops.
What's the point of saying...hey hey we're not afraid of ya, we're gonna
keep making fun of you and your religion! And then bang! bang! bang!
some of the people are dead. What's good coming out of it?
Don't
get me wrong. I AM NOT SAYING that we should give in to terrorism. We
should be against it at all cost. I just simply say that it is wrong to
make fun of one's religion or the founder of a religion.
I
really do pray for the world now...for it seems that the number of
international conflicts keep rising high. I don't want to see World War
III.
