Have journalist and cartoonists the right to critisize religion.??? (121)
Sannu: He was a man of conviction.
So were the gunmen, I imagine.
That's why I was confused about your second paragraph. Conviction of any extreme may be contentious, sometimes in a positive way, sometimes not.
Conviction in itself, doesn't make action right, or ethical.

unlaoised: Absolutely justified. It's called "freedom of speech"
Even if we don't agree with the content, it's better to have this freedom.------ This thread is Archived ------

Go ahead if you feel it can't be discussed here.
There are 1,000 posts available here, however. I doubt this thread will run out of space if it were to be discussed here...and you did raise the subject of conviction and contention in your posts here.

Ethical=As others had the right to critisize his religious believes,
or non believes,so was his right to critisize the believes of others.-JMO

chris27292729: Todays attack in Paris by islamists,killing Frence satirical newspaper's cartoonists,for criticizing Islam and its Prophet,was justified???
Yes it was??
No it was not??
Yes it was??
No it was not??
It was an overreaction by brainwashed morons. Ironic when they claim Islam is the religion of peace.
If the same was to be done over Christianity or any other non islamic religion, just think how few films would be made. We'd lose The Life of Brian for starters.
I'd hate to think what they'd do if they ever visited a few sites I frequent. They'd try and blow up the Internet!

I've not seen the content of his work, so I couldn't judge.
I was more referring to your two questions in your title and OP, as well as Sannu's contributions.
Both seem to have strong convictions and both are perhaps contentious. For me, it is action which is in question.
Freedom of expression (a perhaps more inclusive term than freedom of speech) for me would not include violence unless it could be justified with self-defence (unlikely to be the case in this instance).
Freedom of expression which incites, or may incite harm to others is possible with satire, cartoons and journalism.
If we have two sides, both of who have strong convictions are being contentious, then perhaps the best recourse is negotiation and compromise, not violence, stubbornness and hatred from either side.

It's quiet confusion to understand the need to advocate violence and stand behind a cause.
When people are charged and arrested for offenses - in this case the attack in Paris, does their ideology become a reasonable defense?
Can any person who comes before a court of law say that my religious beliefs say it was not a crime and I am not guilty of any crime?
That is the question to consider.
