'Blasphemy is a victimless crime' is utter arrogance

RE: 'Blasphemy is a victimless crime' is utter arrogance
Hurt their feelings, yes. Actually hurt them, no. Having your feelings hurt does not make you a victim... unless it is directed at you. If, for example, I say that Muslims are all terrorist pedophiles... then I have insulted Muslims directly and they can claim they have been victimized. If, however, I blaspheme and say that Allah does not exist... then they may get upset that I have disparaged something they believe in, but not that I have victimized them directly. Those Muslims you mentioned took to the streets to stifle the freedom of thought and expression of others. They weren't victims. If anything... they were victimizing the rights of others to disagree with them openly.
