Some thing are just beyond sick!

Its having a go at those who believe such things. Charlie Hebdo is a left wing publication that satirises the right wing bigots. Yes, it is in very poor taste but going by some of the posts here, the cartoonist has hit the nail on the head.

Charlie Hebdo is a left wing publication

extreme left is more accurate.

The teaching of violence against women isn't unfortunately just restricted  to Muslims. Have a look at this petition. These guys actively teach DV. They come from America, not sure of their religion. Not that it matters. Anyone who teaches others to inflict  violence on others is disgusting.

If anyone thinks that attacks on women such as those recently in Köln (Cologne), Germany, are something recent, here is a report from back in 2005 which I bookmarked some years ago - it details how immigrant men were attacking Swedish women even at that time (warning: graphic picture and comments):

So have things improved in the intervening years? - well, er, not quite:

>> Security authorities are growing increasingly concerned by the rising number of sex attacks by gangs of migrants which appear to be spreading across Europe.

>> Finland and Sweden today became the latest European countries to issue warnings to women to be wary of the threat of sex attacks following fresh reports of sexual assaults in the last week, while the Viennese police chief advised women not to go outside alone in Vienna...

And still they come...

>> Migrants reaching Europe this year hits One Million – that’s 3,000 every day...

Interesting to see how easily swayed by the media. Earlier this year it was all Je Suis Charlie.

Now wer'e not.

the whole world supported Charlie Hedbo in the face of terrorism  we also support free speech, we were outraged when their staff were murdered however that doesn't mean everyone thinks their cartoons are in good taste

hope you get that!

It (the cartoon) is not having a go at the people who believe such things. To make that claim is a sort of doublethink and it's mistaken.

The cartoon is having a go at the culture and the cultural beliefs of certain male people who think that women are not and can never be, their equals just because they are women and who, because of that, may be exploited at will for their personal gratification.

The cartoon is a slap at a misogynistic and patriarchal attitude which is taught to certain young men and boys as if it were god's ordained truth and the normal way to behave. (because they're only women, right? and they exist to serve us but never to be taken as our equals because then our balls might drop off)

I am continually amazed at the support given to Islam by some western non-Muslim women. I can only believe they support it out of a desire to appear to be tolerant and caring and understanding of cultural difference.

But they thereby demonstrate absolutely no understanding of the very particular cultural difference contained in Islam.

They often haven't even read the texts or have the least acquaintance with the ideas which it teaches. But they want to support it anyway, because they're oh so PC and tolerant and understanding,

when the reality is that they are profoundly ignorant and/or extemely tolerant of an idea/ideology which is oppressive of women and which would lay some really heavy oppression on them personally were those ideas  to be supported by a majority of people in their immediate locale.

Support for an idea should only credibly exist in a condition of understanding. but I think that some people only wish to offer support because it makes them appear to be understanding.

The ideas are those things which need to be understood and it's not enough to offer an understanding arm of support to an idea about which we steadfastly choose to remain ignorant. (just because we want to appear to be fair and supportive and understanding)

is it ok to;

Offer support from a position of understanding and agreement that women are not and never can hope to be the equals of men?

To offer support from a position of understanding that the code of laws laid down to be followed is rightly that of the religious establishment and not that of the civil ?

Offer support to the people oppressed by such a system by all means, but by no means offer support to the oppressive ideas themselves or to the system or organisation which espouses and teaches them.

Please resist the desire to appear to be PC and tolerant of difference only for appearances sakes.

Please be aware of what that difference is and be brave and oppose ideas which teach oppression and enslavement.

Don't strive in ignorance to appear to be understanding and tolerant.

Strive to be intolerant of oppression. Strive for the Enlightenment. Strive for equality. Strive for this for others as well as for oneself.

'More than 40 MPs from Angela Merkel's Christian Democrat party sign petition calling for Germany's borders to be closed to asylum seekers'.

So the 'open door / free movement' policy of the accursed EU has bit her on the bum. Well what a surprise. Hopefully we in the UK will be free of this restricted and arm-tying nonsense, dished out by the suits in Brussels...fingers crossed on that one. There is a vast housing shortage here, the National Health Service is stretched far beyond it's breaking point, and our schools are creaking under the strain. I am not a fan of 'Call Me Dave' - in fact I can't abide the man - but at least he is trying to do something re immigrants claiming full benefits the moment they land on these shores. The rest could be improved by waving a fond farewell to the EU.

Regarding the illegal ones who have managed to bypass our stupid Border Patrols - not difficult it seems - the moment the authorities locate them, what do they do ? They allow them bail to return with the necessary papers - which they haven't got because they've destroyed them - and so they subsequently disappear into the night again. It's total stupidity in the extreme.

The accurate stats show that reported crime against refugees in Europe is 10x that of crime supposedly done by refugees.  And that does not take into consideration that people who do not speak the native language confidently often do not report "minor" incidents, like being groped or robbed for small amount of money. 

On occasions like NY eve, where there are huge and drunk crowds, getting groped is not unusual, what is unusual that people en masse reported it.  If somebody gropes me in crowded space I just stomp on their foot, I do not run to the nearest police station.  It seems that the good German people only reported incidents that involved people who looked like refugees.  Strange indeed.

Demonising the refugees is the neo Nazis agenda.  Unfortunately, they are getting traction.  In countries such as the Czech republic, according to an article I read recently, the against refugees sentiment is 95%.  Their fascist government is whipping up the fear in the community using tactics straight out of Hitler's book, their media is also helping, and although so far they actually do not have any refugee except those who are either put into detention or just bused across their territory to Germany,  people there are petrified of anybody with darker skin.

I take it that you don't know all that much about Charlie Hebdo and their particular type of satire? Sure, it is often tasteless and controversial but it does reflect the fickleness and ugliness of society. In this particular case, on the one hand, people cry over the death of a refugee muslim boy while on the other hand, the very same people condemn all refugee muslim adult men as being sex offenders.

As for your preaching, well, when you know exactly what I do and don't support, believe,  etc, then feel free to preach to me but until then, you are wasting your time as well as being mistaken.

For instance, I am an athiest and have little respect for religion , or the misuse of, but I do have the education to know not to tar every believer with the same brush, nor, demand that they abandon their religion. Muslims come from varied backgrounds with most being moderate. Fundamentalists/extremists are the ones who do what you accuse me of supporting. I do not support these people.

Being PC is not in my vocabularly because I have no need of it, and it is a shame that the term is needed, anyway, and a bigger shame that it is often used as an insult.

I am who I am, imperfectly perfect, and I am definitely not one for conforming or doing anything for appearance's sake. lol

On occasions like NY eve, where there are huge and drunk crowds, getting groped is not unusual

what is unusual, are the 

coordinated mass sex attacks on 

women in public places and complete

disregard for the police.

Police described the series of sexual assaults against women in Cologne on New Year's Eve as 'a completely new dimension of crime.'

what is unusual that people en masse reported it.

nothing unusual about reporting incidents of

mass sex attacks, especially when something

like has not happens before.

It seems that the good German people only reported incidents that involved people who looked like refugees.  Strange indeed.

that would be strange if that was true,

but of course, its not.

what is strange, is that the police

attempted to cover up the extent of

the mass sex attacks to avoid a

backlash against recently arrived 

migrants.

according to reports, that is one of

the reasons for the sacking of

cologne's police chief.
