It is a mess!
I have been reading news articles on the recent uproar of the cartoon published in newspapers. Practically I am glued to what has been going on.
Indeed, it is offensive to read about or see articles & cartoons condemning, humiliating or even mocking at any religion. (By the way, I am a free thinker) It simply shows that one has no respect over anything. I feel that having a religion is something well... sacred? It all boils down to how extremist you are? Ok... maybe this word does sound offensive as well. It all goes down to how deep you believe in. Well my point is no matter what it is.. it is no laughing matter to laugh or mock at one's religion. Come on, even me... a free thinker will spare some thoughts about saying one's religion. Freedom of speech, what is the big deal about that? It also mean that you are a no brainer when you do such stuff. Everyone has their own views on everything, but mocking, laughing or opening condeming is something stupid. It is as good as someone saying about your family or something you care about in a great deal.
I must also raise the point that violence around is simply unnecessary. I can fully understand the boycott, the burning of flags, the protest but not the violence. I mean after all those expatriates are well.. innocent. You can boycott all you want but hurting another soul is as good as them writing about the religion. It is equally hurtful or more. Those are just emotional wounds, but people hurt? That is a life you are talking about. Doesn't all religion believe in not hurting any human lives? So where has all the faith gone to?
Talking about religion. Ok don't mind me here. This is just my.. let me emphasize it.. MY point of view. I mean you can all the faith you want in the religion but doesn't some logic needs to come out of it? Let me quote an example. (ok, if you ain't comfortable about reading such stuff, just close your window. I ain't targeting on any religion). I know of a family that totally believe in that religion that they commit to it totally. I find it totally ridiculous. A great classic from them is god condemns people who have short hair. For crying out loud, I have short hair and so are tons of women out there. So are we condemn? Til now, I see no logic to this. That is why I still remains as a free thinker.
Ok.... probably I have strike some uproar on opinions. Please chill it. I ain't targeting on anything. I just expressing my own opinions and thoughts.
