http://dementedemu.comicgenesis.com has gone too far. Look at this horrible comic. It insults everything. It's just too horrible. I wish for this to be shut down. I'm not muslim or anything, but MY GOD!

speaking as a leftist bastard with no authority at ComicGenesis, i do find the comic offensive to Muslums, however by banning it we're getting into that slippery slope of "where the First Amendment ends" (CG is based in the US so Constitution would apply).

ComicGenesis is privately owned, and there fore, the people in charge of CG get to deside what free speech is. granted, that there should be a warning and the image should be on a seperate page with a link to it.

I agree with everything you just said, but still, when I first laid eyes on this comic, they may just as well have bled...

kinda how I felt. it offended all my senses. but I wouldn't want to see it banned. free speech means you have to let the idiots and assholes speak as well.

...I hate that phrase "slippery slope" btw. I'm doing my best to eradicate it from my vocab.

That comic offends me, true, but we just don't have the authority to ban it. The best we can do is ignore it.

*calls FBI*

"Hey, yeah, there is this racist that needs to be taken care of... what? Oh that's not crime? Freedom of speech? "

j/k

It's innappropriate, but the author obviously made it to try and attract negative attention, so stop giving it to him.

Falls down the slippery slope into pudding in the offtopic chat. "Join me friends! For pudding and goodtimes!"

the beauty of this freedom we enjoy works both ways. They are free to say and show whatever they want, and you are free not to read it.

So, is this a plug gone horribly wrong?

Inappropriate imagery and general racist hate toward muslims.

And there isn't some comic on CG dipicting Jesus and Christianity the same way? Probably.

Nevertheless, I find it odd that many people openly critise Christianity but would never even think of anything negitive reguarding Islam and then get worked up when someone else does.

Two-way street, people.

Mostly the ones who get worked up are the islamis.

This isn't criticizing. Criticism is intelligent, with refutable points of discussion. This is blatant racist slander, obviously only there for its shock value.

However...there is still pudding...chocolate pudding. And I think I saw some jello...because there's always room for jello.
