Vive Charlie Issue 3 | Page 30

Following the Paris attacks, in which innocent human beings from a secular society were executed in revenge for drawing cartoons, there was initially global condemnation and a show of solidarity coined in the “Je suis Charlie” slogan, which went viral across the world. Even the progressives jumped on the band wagon, because as usual, they wanted that warm fuzzy feeling they get from publicly displaying their self perceived moral superiority.

However, within two weeks the ‘but’ brigade started to surface. “I believe in free speech, but”, “I believe in freedom of expression, but”. Clearly two weeks is how long a progressive’s warm fuzzy feeling lasts before they need their next fix. There are only two sides to this coin, you either believe in freedom of speech and expression or you do not. There is no middle ground.

During the two week free pass from progressives on freedom of speech and expression, those that definitely did not approve were demonstrating around the world, where the martyrs of Paris were celebrated and our freedom of speech and expression were condemned. One such demo attracted an estimated 800,000 people demanding that blasphemy laws be made global and barbaric punishments be administered to transgressors.

It is clear that people’s religious beliefs are very important to them and I’m sure it’s deeply offensive to hear those beliefs insulted and ridiculed. As deeply offensive as that may be to them, it’s nowhere near as offensive, abhorrent and inhumane to the vast majority of the civilised world as; treating women and unbelievers as less than human, approving of sex with minors, hacking off women’s genitals, throwing acid in women’s faces, beheading journalists and burning pilots alive.

Religious beliefs are a personal choice and if people choose to believe dangerous dogma that manifests itself as hatred, violence and supremacy, then it is the right of sensible, rational, human beings to object, mock and ridicule those beliefs in an attempt to shame believers into seeing sense.

If you find that your beliefs are mocked and insulted on a regular basis, instead of being outraged and demanding the majority changes their ways, spend time examining your beliefs, and the behaviour they inspire, to discover the reasons why they are mocked and insulted.

Since the execution of the satirical cartoonists there has been an escalation of cartoons lampooning Islam, Muhammed and Islamists. If the goal of the Islamists that carried out the attack was to scare the world in to blasphemous silence then this has spectacularly backfired. Not only did Charlie Hebdo depict Muhammed on the very next front cover, but the circulation increased from 60,000 to 6 million. The true supporters of free speech, particularly the cartoonists, produced thousands of cartoons to show that bullying people into silence is not going to work, EVER.

It is the Islamist’s nightmare, killing to avenge your prophet only to find your actions solidify and increase the numbers of those that are willing to step up and defy your barbarism.

Whilst the flaky, fence sitting, social justice warriors and progressives resumed their campaign against anything that offends the permanently offended, others, like Vive Charlie, decided that showing defiance in the face of tyranny was the best way of showing bullies that the more they push, the more that moral people will push back and say, “Not while I’m still breathing”.

When I say moral people I am, of course, excluding progressives and social justice warriors who are quite happy to incite the lynching of those that step over their own vigilante code of moral standards. The police, formerly law enforcers, are now politicised policy enforcers. Isn’t it a shame that these enforcers of moral code look the other way whilst the lives of 1000s are being systematically destroyed in the name of diversity, social harmony

and multiculturalism?
