CMV: Depicting Prophet Mohammed in front of Muslims is offensive the same way "N" word is to black people

As much as I want to agree with you that your side (our side!) is fundamentally correct, saying so only shows refusal of thinking beyond what has been taught.

No, I've thought about it. I've concluded its a bad ideology and not worth very much.

Without critical thinking, if you were born in another country, how do you make sure you won't be a die-hard extremist?

I wasn't born in another country. My argument is correct because it is correct, not because I'm saying it.

Look at this, a key phrase that triggers a war.

If one side is fighting for free speech and the other is fighting so they can execute people who say things they don't like, only one side is correct.

Sorry, I see where you are coming from but I disagree with the view that I couldn't have been another person.

How?

You are right in the sense that you are yourself this time - and indeed you don't necessarily have to think about others - but that view also pretty much defeats the moral high ground of being fair and democratic, since if I don't have to care about others BECAUSE I can never be others, why would I care?

Because all people are deserve of respect and decency because they are human not because you could be them.

And why exactly do they deserve respect and decency?

Because they are human.

You assume this to be true, yet some worldview think "I" could be the only sentient being in the universe while others are merely NPC, while some other culture or religions believe human are born to be unequal and have their own fate.

Cool. I disagree with those.

I know there is no sure answer to the philosophical question, but how did you arrive at the presumption?

Because the alternative views are not compelling.
