I get why Germany specifically has anti-free speech laws, but surely they could've some amount of discretion in this case.
Wild, its almost like both people got in trouble for their respective crimes.
Just crazy.
Shouldn't be a crime to criticize a shitty religion and its shitty preachers.
It is though, so.... Too bad?
Edit: and its quite a bit more than criticism, if you would be honest about things.
Look, I agree with you on it being more than criticism. But people shouldn't deny that it didn't arise out of a vacuum. Being murderous for criticizing awful behavior doesn't give you a great reputation.
Neither does being a hateful bigot.
What's your point?
you should be careful you aren't going to bat for something you don't entirely believe in. You don't want to encourage religious fanatics.
Calling someone a hateful bigot is endorsing violent extremism?
Hope you've got a soft mat to land on for that wild leap.
Yeah because you equate someone critcizing violent religious extremism to a bigot. that means you don't want to address the violence, but only scrutinize what words others use in response.
You're intentionally waiting for someone to maybe make a grammatical error to leap on and find "bigotry".
You would do well in the group of people who equate Anti-Israel stances to antisemitism.
Seems unfair that muslims don't want to integrate into other countries but want others to follow their shitty religion.
Seems like thats not a crime in Germany.
Stabbing people should be a crime
Shocker then that it is, and that person was shot by the police at the time.
Are you not even aware of what happened, and just trying to make it seem like the only thing that happened was a hateful bigot got stabbed then arrested?
That fits.
You seem to be living under a weird blissful assumption that arguing in terms of the prevailing law will naturally align you with what is right.
Laws are erected and upheld by people. They are not infallible, just like religion. And I know I don't stand for shit laws that just make it convenient for cults to kill or maime people with no consequences over perceived insults.
No, I'm just pointing out the stupidity of this article.
