The liberals are inconsistent and not intellectually honest in their view of this.

In the case of “Piss Christ” or the Virgin Mary covered in dung, we are told that we need to understand about freedom of speech/freedom of expression, and the fact that people of faith are deeply offended by these depictions does not matter. What matters is the freedom to create “art” even if people of faith are offended.

But in the case of Mohammed cartoons, the liberals view it differently. In this case, the liberals say that we need to be sensitive to Islam, and not create “art” which adherents of Islam will be offended by. The concepts of freedom of speech or freedom of expression, even expression found offensive, is not a factor to liberals in this case.

Technically this describes the liberal viewpoint on ALL issues. It’s why they stoop to ad-hominem and changing the subject when a conservative wants to debate actual facts.

It happens every time. It’s because their position is both shallow and based on feelings. They tend to not think their solutions through within the context of human nature. e.g. it doesn’t dawn on them that giving the poor free money will prevent a LOT of them from ever improving their lot. And now we have the welfare state.

It’s beyond bizarre that the only religion they seem to revere is Islam. They’re tools of the jihadists and don’t even realize it.
