"Innocence of Muslims" Filmmaker Likely Doesn't Exist, Film May Not Exist

[kentonio]

Yes. The whole line of reasoning views Muslims as spastic 2 year olds prone to tantrums rather than as actual human beings. As Wezil said, Christians aren't violent enough to have people tip toe around them.

Well done, you predicatably completely misunderstood what he said.

[DinoDoc]

Well done, you predicatably completely misunderstood what he said.

It's the logical conclusion to what he said.

[kentonio]

Funny how your logical conclusions always seem to end up saying whatever happens to fit your position at the time.

[DinoDoc]

Why don't you inform me where the train of logic went wrong and you don't view Muslims as spastic 2 year olds unable to express there feelings in a constructive manner around whom we should tip toe in order to avoid them violently expressing hurt feelings?

[kentonio]

They meanwhile would probably consider American christians to be a bunch of immoral perverts with a sickening culture of consumption and a titanic sense of superiority despite their lack of understanding of anything outside the narrow experience of their own lives.

Just guessing.

[kentonio]

They'd probably also have a few things to say about the hypocrasy of a country that kills thousands of muslim civilians as 'collateral damage' in drone strikes, yet rages against the muslim world about the deaths of 4 Americans.

Again, just guessing.

[DinoDoc]

Deflection isn't an answer.

[kentonio]

I'm saying for starters that your question only makes any sense if you consider the American world view to be the only right and proper one, and that anyone who views things differently must be wrong. It takes a pretty special kind of person to think that way.

Yes. The whole line of reasoning views Muslims as spastic 2 year olds prone to tantrums rather than as actual human beings. As Wezil said, Christians aren't violent enough to have people tip toe around them.

Then there's the fact that Christians own 90 to 95% of the world's nuclear weapons.

[Uncle Sparky]

Then there's the fact that Christians own 90 to 95% of the world's nuclear weapons.

China is a Christian country?... or are all Chinese nuclear scientists Christians?

[Wezil]

I don't see the artistic merit as the primary factor, but the intention. It can be generalized still more broadly. So:

Person A kills a lot of young eagles by using DDT to kill mosquitoes in an anti-malaria campaign. He's trying to save human lives, so he's not a total jerk, even though he's causing a lot of harm in the process. Meanwhile, person B kills a lot of young eagles by going on a "nest-tipping" outing, chiefly because he enjoys killing things. Person B, I feel comfortable saying, is a total jerk. Sincerely good intentions go a long way.

These aren't eagles but people.

So long as they died for a good cause eh? We need our novels dammit!

[Kidlicious]

Yep. Present me with a bad anology. There's no better way to verify trollhood.

No, it's a matter of no one possibly being that stupid. So you must be trolling. Let's go one further though. Can you at least admit that telling lies about people's religious leader is immoral?

[Wezil]

Telling lies is bad Kid. You shouldn't do it.

[Kidlicious]

Telling lies is bad Kid. You shouldn't do it.

So then you will admit that the film maker was acting immorally by offending people with lies, but not because he knew that those offended people might kill other innocent people?
