No, You Don't Have a Special Right Not to be Offended
When a Christian attacks someone for insulting their religion, the Christian is rightly arrested and told that's no excuse. If there was genuine religious discrimination, the Christian should have used the law instead.
When a Hindu attacks someone for insulting their religion, the Hindu is rightly arrested and told that's no excuse. If there was genuine religious discrimination, the Hindu should have used the law instead.
Yet when a Muslim attacks someone for supposedly insulting their religion by saying things that may be offensive but are true (such as the fact that the Qur'an says to beat your wife and rape your captives, or when someone mentions that most Muslims don't read the Qur'an), the Muslim gets let off and the person who said the supposedly intulting thing gets admonished instead!
You may think otherwise considering the way our cowards know as "the police force" act around you, but no, as a Muslim, you do not have a special right not to be offended. People make fun of Christians. They make fun of Hindus. They make fun of Pagans. So why the fuck do you think you're so special, so much more amazing than everyone else?
You're not special, and you do not have a special right not to be offended. I don't care if someone said Allah raped several goats. I don't care if someone claimed Muhammad had sex with a kid (which is actually true according to Islamic scriptures). I don't care if someone said Allah and Muhammad were gay lovers who loved to rape each other with barbie dolls! (Well actually I do care about those things but you don't have a special right not hear them) It's offensive - but it's not harming you, it's just pissing you off. Again, you do not have a special right not to be offended. If you believe you do, then fuck off to an Islamic country.
If, however, you are one of the (rare, whatever propaganda you may hear that says otherwise) who is tolerant, who doesn't think Muslims have a special right above everyone else, who is caring and who will actually look up circumcision before forcing such a barbaric procedure on your kids because some book says so, then feel free to stay here.
