I read here many blogs lately about the affair in France. I think there exist two radical opinions and of course that these are influenced by the environment, religion, culture we live in. I am average European woman. I planned to visit the UK in spring and honestly after reading today's news I am not sure, if going to the west is a good decission. To be sincere, I am sort of scared and I simply don't want to find myself in the wrong place at the wrong time.
I have thought about it all for some days and eventually I realized that something is being missed here. Don't you think there should be some MIDDLE GROUND - the way how to compromise and stop it all? On one hand people protesting and defending freedom of speech, on the other hand people celebrating that western people died. As for my opinion - they both are wrong.
To make fun of any religion is from my point of view totally wrong, no matter if it is sarcasm or parody. Especially, if it is something so extreme such as Charlie Hebdo's case. Freedom has its limits and as long as people think that to mock something so sensitive is ok, then they lost respect. On the contrarery to go and kill is pretty psychotic attitude because LIFE is the most precious thing we have and nobody is allowed to take it.
We all should learn how to compromise and tolerate each other instead of insulting each other. It might take time, it might be sci-fi but only then things might get better.
I am aware of the fact that all the blogs on this topic disappeared for one simple reason - not to cause the fights. I didn't write it on purpose to fight, I posted it just to open people's eyes and see the things from different perspective. Anyway, I respect EC and that's why I won't allow any comments here. It doesn't mean I am against freedom, if you want to express your opinion, you are free to send me a message.
