- Thanks for the explanation. So I have to save, upload, and free-use them, I guess? PITA, but ok. ħuman

"... the editor found them unfunny and offensive. What double standards?"[edit]
If you read the previous sentence, in which it says that they were sorry that Muslims had been offended, this seems a lot less like double standards. In both cases they appear to not want to offend anyone. —Kazitor, pending 06:34, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
- You're an idiot. Did you even see the cartoon? They were clearly designed to cause offense. And the Jyllands-Posten is a far-right paper. Of course they wanted to hurt Muslims. I'm sorry your free speech heroes were not such heroes as you imagined.179.181.98.86 (talk) 22:46, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
- The moment a bunch of insane manchildren started killing and maiming people over their hurt feelings these guys became heroes. I couldn't give less of a fuck if they were trying to offend people. There's a reasonable way to react to offence and it doesn't involve killing other human beings. If you think it does then you're the problem not them.

- But, if the cartoons were deliberately intended to stir up shit, that demonstrates that the goals was not (as Jyllandsposten and its defenders continue to claim) to make a principled stand for freedom of expression and against self-censorship. Instead, it would leave the “cartoon affair” not as a contest between defenders of the freedom of speech and Islamic fundamentalism, but one between bigots and well, more violent bigots.

Islamophobia[edit]
This article defends an extremely offensive Islamophobic cartoon depicting Muhammad as a suicide bomber. That doesn't justify Islamic extremism, but it was kind of geared to provoke a nasty response in the first place. I think we should call this out as Islamophobic bigotry while still criticizing extremism. This isn't zero-sum. Carthage (talk) 01:41, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
