Re: No mohammed discussion?
I don't defend her final answer. I can however see how she is young, probably not practiced on debating, nervous, a little agitated that her question got veered off, and answered a Yes to that final question without thinking what that really meant to answer the question in the way Horowitz put it.
She ought to apologize for such an answer, if she really didn't mean it that way. Otherwise, I'd have to take her at face-value and assume she would support such a statement. |
Re: No mohammed discussion?
If she is unaware of the consequences of her answer or the context of the question then why give an answer at all, especially an answer that tests the waters. :ohreilly:
This just reinforces my observation that 99% of all college activists should never become lawyers. :p |
Re: No mohammed discussion?
My reaction to that young woman's answer is surprising, even to me. I'm not angry or scared or what you might expect... I'm sad. It saddens me, almost the tears, to see someone who is educated, intelligent and privileged have such a destructive and hateful world view, and not only that, but that she would feel so little shame or concern in expressing those views in front of such a diverse audience.
This is chased by the revelation that such ideas and attitudes are not just relegated t the poor and ignorant. I suppose murderous hate is not just a luxury of the poor and stupid. |

Pff, those Danish speak terrible Norwegian... And I thought the cop with the long blond hair was a woman.
Anyway, I also thought the naked Mohammed was very offensive. I can understand how emotions become too much to handle in cases like these. Not that I agree with how they react of course... |

In other news, Pakistan apparently blocked access to Facebook this Wednesday because of "an online competition to draw the Prophet Mohammad." I've pasted the first page of the article below for your reading pleasure. Please note the particularly scary highlighted quote:
