The Irish don't threaten to kill, you are so right, HOWEVER the laws here prohibit this, YOU WILL BE SENT TO JAIL< dark dungeons. It was never amusements at another's expense, it was FREEDOM of speech.
Not sure your line about going to digest the topic is fair, guess you can't understand sarcasm?
If you are so bold and wish to insult someone's belief, you will be in front of the courts real quick.
MANY yell abuse at TV screens and walls but are to afraid to let the world know how they feel, again the law is against you, jail time.
All I was saying FREEDOM of speech is lost in Australia, forget the death threats, (LOST) as for those who threaten death over what you may say against them, or disrespect them is a separate issue, Australian law will not allow it.
I actually don't see anyone fighting for freedom of anything, they are just putting words on this forum without making the slightest difference, their lives are safe. Be safe.

The far right can protest as much as any other group. You guys just need Alan Jones to get you all fired up, even then it turns into a fizzer....too lazy or not passionate enough?

Who said telling jokes or printing cartoons is no longer allowed is no longer allowed?

You can print a cartoon ridiculing or offending the prophet Mohammed any time you like. Who's stopping you?

Stop accusing people of being someone's sock and treating them like they are that person. That is the normal sensible thing to do (hence why you will never be able to stop because you are an arrogant retard)

I'm NOT deflecting cods...it's the central point of the discussion, i.e how many people have ( in recent years) been murdered for having a go at either the Catholic/Christian churches, or at Judaism, compared to how many have been killed for doing the same to Islam????

Death 'threats' aren't really relevant, since most death threats are never carried out, and are basically 'talking tough'.

edit..and Scientology, Hindus, Buddhists, Wiccans etc as well.

The below quote, which we/YOU all know about, stop stirring, then speak you peace, Lol.  So much for drawing cartoons that NO-ONE will publish, or words that will never see the light of day. Hence, go to the dungeon.

Government Senator Cory Bernardi yesterday called for a review of Race Discrimination Act provisions which make it illegal to "insult or offend" people on the basis of race.

Human Rights Commissioner, Tim Wilson, says publications by Charlie Hebdo "would come into contradiction with section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act and would be censored in Australia."

He says Australia's current law imposes a "fundamental violation on freedom of speech".

"The fundamental underlying problem with this law [is] that it makes it unlawful to offend or insult somebody and that needs to be removed," he says.

"We really have to decide as a society are we going to go down the path of making unlawful to offend or insult people on the basis of their race, their religion or any other attribute?" he says.

"Or are we going to do the sensible and pragmatic thing and restrict public harassment on the basis of any number of things which is a very different proposition from being merely offended or insulted?"

He has joined calls for a renewed debate on freedom of speech laws, which he says would have prevented Charlie Hebdo publishing here.
