https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance

Quote:In 1971, philosopher John Rawls concludes in A Theory of Justice that a just society must tolerate the intolerant, for otherwise, the society would then itself be intolerant, and thus unjust. However, Rawls also insists, like Popper, that society has a reasonable right of self-preservation that supersedes the principle of tolerance: "
Quote:While an intolerant sect does not itself have title to complain of intolerance, its freedom should be restricted only when the tolerant sincerely and with reason believe that their own security and that of the institutions of liberty are in danger."

Intolerance of intolerance is not the same as intolerance itself.



All of the above is hashed shamelessly from this reddit comment thread:
https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/3...tain_over/



Just thought it good material the next time we're told we shouldn't lump all muslims in the same bracket, or told we shouldn't criticize Islam for some bullshit PC reasoning, or some do-gooder moral highground humping tosh about how all muslims aren't terrorists. 


Stop letting these cunts use our own freedoms against us. Quit relenting to the PC brigade who tell us we should show respect for this fucked up backward religion, and stop worrying about offending these muslims who insist they're not the majority. 

Fuck them and fuck their religion.

There' an extremely big difference between tolerating Muslims and kissing there collective ass. I don't expect them to understand that. Tough shit.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.

It's not the muslims that you need to understand that though.

RE: Muslims
Since when is being the majority some sort of criteria? Whites did pretty well on South Africa being a minority. Being a minority doesn't mean you're not powerful, just think of the link between Islam, rich Muslims and oil.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you

RE: Muslims
It's either "they're not the majority" or "they're not real muslims".

Pick one of the two and you have a PC dickwad's wet dream on how to avoid the issue.

They learned that from Abraham, not Muhammad.

Uh...  Undecided
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
