France: Macron defends blasphemy

[Spirit of Light]

It accepts that people see blasphemy as wrong, just doesn't accept that the right to blaspheme should be taken away from them by migrants.


We can hear their answers through the internet or other appropriate places, they can make themselves heard without migrating.


Yes it does, it allows bad ideas to be critiqued so they can be replaced with good ideas, it allows character development and it allows people to vent


Blasphemy does not "hit" and i see it as inappropriate to use words which confuse it with physical violence.

So this is not about a religioues belief, it is about you do not want foreign people in to your country? You dont like when they get there personally to speak about their religion.

That only shows the immaturity of certain French citizens to me.

It does nothing to demonstrate why violence was appropriate.

You are free if you support blasphemy, but when it comes to politics, freedom has limits in France,

One of France’s most prominent far-right provocateurs is going to jail for denying the Holocaust

No blasphemy is not evil speech, and it doesn't cover slander

I think you are correct in the current narrow sense. The root of the word, however, is much wider and slander is surely is covered. See below.

Nope, foreigners are welcome to come in my country and tell me about non-blasphemy aspects of their religion, for example a Muslim would be welcome to say I should practice praying 5 times a day, facing Mecca, to one God etc etc, if they want to ban blasphemy, they can complain about it from their own country.

To say that I'm opposed to migrants or to people teaching their religion would not be a fair representation of what I'm advocating IMO

We can cover slander in our laws without infringing people's right to blaspheme.

If i misunderstood your message i am sorry, i did not intend to accuse you of disliking foreign people

If someone has the right to insult you and said to you your sister is a whore, what will you feel.

I'd laugh and tell my sister you said that.

She'd punch her fist through your ribcage, rip out your beating heart, take a bite, then end government money to your hospital before you got there.

Trust me. Not all chicks are wimps.

This is actually quite true.
Europeans aren't as good at freedom of speech as the USA.
Maybe that's why so many Muslims choose Europe over America.
