Paris Museum caves to Islamic threats over art.

[Brian37]

Islam is not a race, Jew is not a race, Christianity is not a race. Not even black is a race. A dark skin Jamaican is not going to have anything in common with a dark skin Ugandan or a dark skin San Franciscan vs a dark skin Argentinian.

Jews and Muslims in that area have always mixed and still do.Not even t he native Americans were natives. Their ancestors came to the Americas from the north over natural ice bridges and island hopping in the Barring Straights.

Go back far enough all humans came from Africa. Go back further and we are related to primates. Go back further we are related to other mammals .
It is not to say that race isn't a problem, but it is still used by humans in all boarders interchangeably with religion and even nationalism.

Yes we should criticize Islam, it is the biggest trouble maker in the world today, not that others don't have their own baggage.

Every people has mixed troughout history but there's still some differences we socially appoint to people. What I'm saying is that with the news you linked we should criticize Islam and it deserves to be ridiculed, it's reasonable - It doesn't mean I'm going to say Muslims are oppressing Europeans when they are less than 10% of the population

The article only says Muslims gave warning to the display, it is not saying those warnings are threats by Muslims who would get violent, I'd say it is a mix of PC Muslims and those who would get violent.

In any case it is still an attack on free speech. I have said far worse with words and seen graphic blasphemy all the time. The point of the display is sexism in Islam. It is the same act of blasphemy done by Ayaan Hirsi Ali in her documentary about Islam's treatment of women, and the same act of blasphemy in writing her book "Infidel".

Whatever caused that artist or the event to remove it is what is frightening to me. If liberals of ANY religion in the civilized west anywhere in the world want to protect pluralism and free speech, then we cannot bow to threats by those who would use violence to silence criticism.
