You read the Al Jazeera article as conflating speech with violent actions
Not only am I reading the Al Jazeera article as conflating speech with violent actions, I'm reading you as conflating speech with violent actions.
You are making statements like "Atheists have the right to draw pictures of Mohammed, and Muslims have the right to call for the blaspheming infidels who do that to be beheaded." Worse, you then turn around and say, "(as well as being an actual murder which just about nobody is in favour of)". Excuse me, there are people marching in the street saying they're in favor of murder. That is precisely what calling for beheadings is. What say we take them at their word.
Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
