Again Debating Free Speech...

Again Debate on FREE SPEECH...
Some quotes from respected people...

French philosopher Voltaire: "I disapprove of what you say,but I will defend to the death your right to say it."

*********************************************************************************

Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes said, "The best test of truth is the power of the thought to get itself accepted in the competition of the market."                        *********************************************************************"we should be eternally vigilant against attempts to check the expression of opinions that we loathe."                                                                                        ********************************************************************************************Despite the fact that I do not appreciate organized religion, I will not caricature religious figures... and leaders... I will not caricature Jesus or Mohammed or Buddha or any other religion and religious leader... It is my way of respecting human dignity and humanity... But I will, as Voltaire puts it, defend people's right to caricature whatever they want... FREE SPEECH does not recognize limits imposed on it... and I do not want Big Brothers to have the legislative power to dictate what we can caricature and what we cannot... After all, I do not trust the Big Brothers... and I believe power corrupts even the most good minded person... that includes you and I too...
I am writing this note because of the Islamist-Jihadists terrorism in Garland, Texas... 
I will not organize such an event of "Muhammad Caricature Contest," but people definitely have the right to organize it... The Islamist-Jihadists  may ban these events where their sword reaches... in the Middle East led by the Saudi Arabian undemocratic kingdom and the Islamist-fascists in Turkey and Azerbaijan...
It is unfortunate that the "civilized" West is allied to the undemocratic regimes of Saudi Arabia and Turkey and Azerbaijan... These regimes are allied with the Islamist-Jihadists in the Middle East and thus connect Western Civilization to these murderous and barbaric hordes...

Check the devastation in Kurdish town kabani...

Check what a Kurdish leader says...
"It is 70 percent destroyed. The problem is that we do not have enough machinery to remove the debris or materials with which to rebuild. The cost will be billions."

But he says that, despite the damage, civilians are starting to come home in increasing numbers. "The most that have returned in one week is 6,000, and we now have 60,000 civilians in the city and countryside around it."

A bakery, two schools and a private hospital are operational, Nassan says, but that they face a major hurdle. The rebuilding and resupply efforts are still complicated by the main border gate with Turkey being closed, he says."
After all Turkey does not want Kurds to succeed... The Turkish Islamist-fascists are allies of the Islamist-Jihadists in Syria and Iraq...
Check the devastation of Aleppo...

The NATO-West attacks the Syrian regime for atrocities and validates the barbaric atrocities committed by the Islamist-Jihadists...
The Islamists, even the most moderate of them, will be far worst than the regime... and the atrocities will continue...
But to be truthful and honest... The NATO-West or the Russian-East are not interested in human values and "democracy"... Like the Saudis and the Turkish Islamist-fascists they are motivated by GREED and by PROFIT making... and humans are expendible and humans are "collateral damage" in the "theater of war"...
Everything is a farce... and "the world is a stage..."

Much of Aleppo is devastated...by both the regime and by the Islamist-Jihadists....

To side with one or the other is hypocrisy at best and will open the gates to Iraqisation  of Syria... and covert it into a failed state like Libya 

People describe Aleppo as a circle of hell... the streets are filled with blood... and the people who are being killed are not the fighters...

The Islamist-Jihadists are killing and looting the people...

The Armenian Apostolic Karasnits Mangants (Forthy Martys) Cathedral, Aleppo’s oldest Armenian Church has been targeted in a bomb attack...

Some sources state that a tunnel was dug under the Cathedral to place bombs, others sate that it came under direct artillery fire from the Islamist-Jihadists... allied with Turkey...

The history of the Cathedral goes back to the 15th century, making it the oldest Armenian church in the city. The church is believed to have been founded by Armenians of Iran, and in the year 2000, its 500th anniversary had been celebrated. The ceremony that took place on April 26, which coincides with the date it was demolished, had been led by Catholicos Aram I. The church was an important religious centre of the Armenian community of Syria...   

St. Rita Armenian Catholic Church... bombed...

Four months before the bombing of the Forthy-Martyrs cathedral the Islamist-Jihadists bombed St. Rita Armenian Catholic Church and also the Armenian Genocide Church in Deir-ez-Zor, which was built in the memory of the victims of the Armenian Genocide...
