Abbas Orders Probe Into Palestinian Cartoon of Prophet Mohammad

Link

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has ordered an investigation into a cartoon apparently depicting the Prophet Mohammad in an official Palestinian newspaper. The move came less than a month after Abbas joined world leaders in a march for free speech in Paris following a deadly attack by Islamist gunmen on the French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo, which had caricatured Mohammad.

NIMBY syndrome :thumbsdown:

What is a free press? Is a press free to break the law? Are their any laws there that say this is illegal? What happened to the Israeli who revealed Israel's nuclear program When did state secrets take presidence over God's law?

He was there to condemn the killing of innocents not to defend free speech, that was part of his visit at least.

The killing of innocents was the result of FREE SPEECH; many in the the Muslim community seems to have a hard time comprehending.

Speech is FREE as long as it does not offend them; yet they are OK with offending others.

Looks like most of you will be 'happy' with Islam when you can take a dump on an image of Mohammed (drawn in pig blood), pee on it and then have wild pigs trample it - and every single Muslim must not even bat a single eye lash to this act.

The topic here is about Abbas, and what I'm saying is, he won't give a crap about free speech.

Remember the last Israeli attack on Gaza? a group of Palestinian protesters in Western bank had been attacked and dispersed by the Palestinian authority.


About free speech thing, how about everyone go and insult his boss publicly, is it deal?
Everything in this life has limits

No, I wouldn't call it "NIMBY".

Leaders over there have a habit of saying one thing to their citizens/country and the complete opposite to the West. Just more of the same in this instance.

The point is - critics of Islam want TOTAL and unflinching submissiveness when Islam is bashed. Which, even Christians can't pull of (taken from your own link):

On April 17, 2011, a print of Piss Christ was vandalized "beyond repair" by Christian protesters while on display during the Je crois aux miracles (I believe in miracles) exhibition at the Collection Lambert, a contemporary art museum in Avignon, France.

So, once all of Christianity shows how to be a good sport and accept "freedom of speech", then you can start asking all other religions to follow suit.

BTW, if "At Least We're Not Islam" is one of the pros of your religion, then you're doing a shitty job of pitching and praising your religion.

That's kind of the point the Christian artist was making with his art

Abbas is definitely being hypocritical here. That being said, so was Netanyahu. Israel is not exactly a haven of free speech itself.
