What is a drawing of Muhammad?

[The Grand Nudger]

When you're telling immigrants and Muslims to get over it, that they just need to abide dehumanization and persecution, that they have a short list of approved reactions to their plight, and that any reactions you consider unacceptable will only increase the severity of their plight, then you've been swimming in privilege for so long you've grown gills.

Unless we believe that murder should be included in the appropriate responses™ then it doesn't really matter what a person thinks about whether mockery is distasteful (or should be illegal) or what ivory towers anyone inhabits.  Presumably..even someone who believes that cartoons are a pressing social issue and should be censored (or that cartoonist ought to self censor) would still not believe that a failure to do so come with a death sentence. Or, at least, that's an additional belief that would stand on it's own and not flow explicitly from the other.

Me, personally..I'm absolutely fine with people shitting on old gods and new gods, and if they decide to get all murdery about it that's just another thing to mock them for. The only privilege worth considering here is the privilege the religious appear to believe that they and they alone possess. Business as usual in our god-addled world.
