The hypocrisy lies in the fact there there is no real freedom of speech unless you want to offend muslims. The cartoons were deliberately aimed to antagonise muslims. The artist knew that there would be such a response.
Why did nt he make a mockery of Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism?
The cartoons were a complete distortion of our Prophet peace be upon him’s life too.
Because they wanted to make a point. And the only way to do it was to offend them in the same way the offended Muslim. Unfortunately that has to be denying the holocaust. But when your playing in the mud with pigs, you will need to get just as muddy.
From “many Pakistanis’ POV”, Dutch and other EU is hypo-hypo-hypocrat. If they had any good in their societies, we would have copied them and followed them.
For us the real NON-hypocrats are Saudi and Irani Mullahs. So we like them nay luv them to death (literally) and we want to emulate the Saudis and Iranis, and we want to kiss the dirt on which Saudi and Iranis walk.
So EU will remain hypo-hypo no matter what. We just don’t like them. Only those Paks immigrate to Dutch Kuntry and other EU places who really really like European culture. Otherwise why would they even touch a “kuntry” with 10 meter pole whose culture is abominable for us.
And stupidity like this just adds to it. I mean how ****ing stupid do you have to be not to realise that the cartoons insulted people. Ambassadors were recalled. EU Ambassadors were *****ed slapped in different MOFAs.
You gotta be pretty ****ing stupid not to realise this would cause insult.
Really. Who was in dire need of those guest workers Mercenary? They could’ve sent them back, they’re powerful, aren’t they? Why didn’t they send them back? Even if they did send them back, would they compensate for what these guest workers had done for them? Holland is what it is right now, because of the hard work by guest workers. Their own people were too arrogant to and uncapable of doing simple jobs to build their own friggin country up. Now don’t tell me it is forced. Holland had chosen for this. I’m sure decisions like these aren’t made without given any thoughts to, they knew this would happen.
I am dealing with it, thanks. I’m sure you’d do the same thing if you were one of those guest workers. The hell you would go back to the country you came from.
If you have problems in following the rules of the country then pack your bags and move on. It would be foolish for somebody to drive around drunk in Saudi and be caught. If you have a problem with the laws of the land, move to a more conducive place…
Woah.. hold up. WHERE do you see me claiming that I am having problems following the rules of this country? Read what someone is saying before making baseless accusations. I don’t need YOU telling me what to do, got that?
I am not telling anyone what to do. This was just a suggestion. If you do not want to follow the rules of the land, there are alternatives. I am just surprised that people who spew venom on the lack on freedom of speech in the west have no qualms in accepting worse set of rules in the Islamic countries…
i dont see any hypocrisy. to make light of holocaust is against the law not to mention immoral. whoever did that should be punished for the hate crime.
did the jews that were affected in holocaust and their descendants publish the Mhd cartoons? no. then what connect is there between the two? none.
therefore this is a standalone racist crime and should be punished.
