Here is a link to the cartoon that actually won the contest....it also has an image of a National Endowment for the Arts called "Piss Christ" that was an award winner....let's see who chops off whose head over this....
Blog The Muhammad cartoon that won the Draw Muhammad contest
The progs are fine with "piss christ", it's the pedophile Muslim they worry about
Christians dont seem to be as committed as Muslims when it comes to their prophet of choice. Matter of fact I dont recall a rule saying you cant draw Jesus.
Dear
Asclepias
Prolife Extremists have been known to kill doctors and attack clinics because they believe abortion is murder.
Are you going to say that allowing the choice of abortion, or actually providing abortion procedures, is provoking attacks?
So this should stop in order not to incite prolife attackers?
No. Someone getting an abortion is none of anyones business except the person getting the abortion and the father. Making fun of a religious icon is personal.
Dear
Asclepias
How is abortion not personal?
Look at it objectively
1. In one case there is a CHANCE you are permanently ending the LIFE of an individual.
Because this cannot be proven legally to be murder, it remains faith based.
But look at the risk and chances of harm caused.
And this "choice of abortion" is protected by law, where there are even additional laws passed
to protect privacy of people over it.
If an abortion protestor commits murder to protest abortion,
are you going to blame the victim?
2. Now compare with free speech, where people are using written and visual expression
and not causing physical harm or RISK of physical harm.
Are you honestly going to protect the choice of abortion, where the risk is up to 85% rate of post-abortion trauma,
and there is no doubt that it terminates the potential life of the individual in the womb,
but not the choice of expression that is purely verbal or visual and has no physical risk to any physical person?
Really?
Think about what you are saying.
How is committing abortion under color of law, when prolife Christians believe that is a life and murder,
and they believe this is sanctioning murder as legal in order to protect women's rights --
any more or less an AFFRONT and GRIEVANCE against
PERSONAL RELIGIOUS BELIEFS.
Is it because you consider Mohammad to be blaspheming God?
And you don't consider LIFE to be a NAME for GOD.
Even a Lutheran pastor had explained that LIFE is a name for GOD.
How is this not personal and even more dangerous?
To allow the choice of abortion legally and not blame the victim for choosing that,
but to disallow the choice of blaspheming Mohammad in written or visual form?
Which is more risky?
Certainly if you are going to allow the choice of ABORTION
because people don't believe it is MURDER
you would allow the choice of blasphemy if people don't believe in that either.
How can you hold one person LEGALLY to the faith of another they don't believe in?
Isn't that violating separation of church and state, which is the argument against prolife laws banning abortion?
Thank you
Asclepias I trust and respect that you always answer honestly
and make every effort to find the language where we can agree in principle.
Yours truly,
Emily
