mike t asked:


The humanities and religion seem to be failing because of a fear that freedom will be restricted or lost. Isn’t this a myth? Isn’t it a tool to prevent the errosion of our freedom? Are we not responsible for the way we use religion, humanities, the arts?

What if freedom of speech clashes with respect to religious sentiments?

Muhammed Asif asked:


Its one thing to point out the flaws and problems of a particular religion, but entirely another matter to swear at its deity or its prophets….

If someone said that your family is not very friendly, it is acceptable, but once they start swearing at your father, can you still label that as ”freedom of speech”?

Is it wrong that we view our God and our Prophets with as much respect (if not more) as we view our family?

And is it that important to take shots at them?
