Neither of these things provide benefits for society which outweigh the damage it does.
Don't be naive. Voices in the head do not account for on mass sustained coordinated strike. One of two things is happening. The voice is real and consistant. Or evil men use this religion to play out attacks against the world.
As the masses do not report on hearing a unified voice then those who do use the religion for their own gains. This is no different than how the church used christianity in the dark ages.[/quote]

My guess is that the answer to that question is literally anything that doesn't treat their religion with utter reverence.I kinda got that, that is why I purposed to use the cartoons on mass as a means to treat that religion with contempt.

Since when has escalation ever made anything better?
Your 'logic' beggs the question. Your assuming that a bumper stick gives on the right to murder people.
The bumper sticker simply shows contempt to those radical enough to act. (Which is a real albeit small possibility) I would hate to put someone like you or chuck in the sights of a terrorist AK-47, because despite your faith in the 'pen being mightier than the sword.' Reality is the flesh is weaker than a few 7.62 slugs, and while your peers may live on to write about what you said before you were chopped down by those slugs. Make no mistake people like this absolutly love to "debate" with people like you and chuck. Why? Because they always win. Just look at what happened at Charlie Hebdo. A dozen of the sharpest satirical minds could not refute the arguements of just two wantobe stoner pizza delivery boy/rappers.
That is why I suggest taking these stickers to people who can debate on equal if not greater terms than those who want to kill over drawings.
Philosophy, logic, and reason is great and will always wins out, till someone picks up a rock.
Whether you guys want to admit it or not we/our soceities are tied to people/soceities like this, (evil Islam) and despite how you want to live your life, one must remain open minded enough to met a threat to your way of life on equal or greater terms.
Otherwise, they will keep sending one or two people to remind us how mighty our 'pens' really are.[/quote]
