Internet "hate speech" leads to violence

Internet "hate speech" leads to violence
Quote:Anti-Muslim hate speech on the Internet is commonplace and can motivate some people to commit acts of violence against Muslims, according to a report released Tuesday (May 6) by Muslim Advocates, a legal and advocacy group in San Francisco.

“When you have threatening comments online and they go unchecked, people start thinking it’s acceptable,” said Madihha Ahussain, an attorney and the report’s lead author. “And it doesn’t take long to figure out that what becomes acceptable online becomes acceptable in the real world.”

But when Islamic "clerics" do it everything is just fine and dandy, huh?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internation...ersy#Fatwa

Quote:Also on January 29, a Muslim Cleric in the Iraqi city of Mosul issued a fatwa stating, "Expel the Crusaders and infidels from the streets, schools, and institutions because they have offended the person of the prophet."[101] It has been reported that Muslim students beat up a Christian student at Mosul University in response to the fatwa on the same day.

This is already covered by laws prohibiting incitement of violence. Muslim Advocates, like any other aggrieved party, can collect evidence and submit a complaint to local authorities.

As far as the Muslim specific example, I think they should police their own backyard and submit their complaint for broader consideration once they can establish that the internet is no longer used for jihadist purposes.

Yeah sure, violence by Muslims. That doesn't mean much though, just about everything can lead to violence by Muslims.

Ok, so muslim terrorists such as the 911 attackers and muslim global fatwas, and muslim anti-rights campaigns against women and gays should never be opposed by any harsh wording because we might incite someone to do something about the evil that Islam excites.. Otay Buckwheat!

Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.

Chas! If somebody saw this and caught the guy responsible and roughed him up a bit, wouldn't you feel just terrible that you might have incited violence toward a muslim?

Against the guy that did that? I would look the other way, perhaps trip over the guy's teeth accidentally a few times.

So, inciting violence against those who are already violent is ok? Come on, guys...
Why don't we let the courts handle that?

Ehh.. a sharia court.. are you joking?

Courts enforce laws that are written by politicians that ride waves of social thought. The waves of social thought are created from the vocal objections to sights such as this noseless woman.

The wave of social disgust must be flamed so that politicians, courts, and laws protect girls such as pictured. If the vocal objections do sometimes incite violence, the the vigilantes can be dealt with in court just the same.
