BelgianBoy Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 Guys & Gals, Last week a Dutch filmmaker was murdered in Amsterdam by a young Marrocan muslim extremist, only because the filmmaker Theo van Gogh expressed his opinions about Islam. In Europe, and certainly in Holland, freedom of expression is very dear, and his coldblooded murder moves a lot of people. Of course, it also moves people to extremes as now islamic schools and mosques are being attacked as well....... How far will you go expressing your opinions and freedom of expressing it ? Have you ever taken to the streets in protest, have you even used violence to express your opninions ? I have.... I chained myself to the USSR embassy in 1973 in protest of their foreign policies and spend the night at the police station as my father wanted me to cool off a bit..... Even when not agreeing with what a lot of people say, I'll defend their right to say it. All within legal and human bounderies of course, I'll never defend anyone the right to shout that others deserve the right to die because of different opinions...... How about you ?

thalenoi Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 [color:"blue"]only because the filmmaker Theo van Gogh expressed his opinions about Islam.[/color] I think he insulted a few though, one is also responsible for the contents of words pronounced loudly.... From there getting slaugthered is more than unacceptable, but in many countries you wil end up in jail or getting killed for expressing your opinion. As for myself, my security file at the secret services of my country mention me as an anarchist, enough said... In Thailand murders are on the rise in the South, perpetrated by moslims targetting ordinary buddhist people as a revenge for the 80something deaths perpetrated by the army. People are killing because they believe in something, that is damn wrong. The victims did not have a chance to express their opinions :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In an uncontrolled land? Perhaps, some have had too much of a freedom in civilised countries? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pattaya127 Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 For my rights and dignity, yes, not my opinions. That remind me of the last elections in the US. people talking of bootwalking election as if 1933 has come upon us americans. people i know, who have million dolars houses and live in self-indulgence 1000 better than some kid in Burma or India, who speak of leaving to new Zealand, France, Thailand... Fleeing for your ideas, I guess.... :: Soryy, i had to get this off my chest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
