Topic: Don't Offend Muslims! | |
---|---|
Now, I'm not a fan. I will defend their wanting to celebrate and praise God.
Who here is not offended the Islamists glorify a pedophile? Duck Dynasty Told Again To Stop Praying To Jesus So They Don’t Offend Muslims! Duck Dynasty is again told by A&E to stop praying in the name of Jesus in order for them to stop offending Muslims. Also came the shocking surprise of the producers using fake bleeps to show that they are cussing when they are not! The Duck Dynasty crew is a family operated business. They hunt, they have strong family values, and they kid each other. They go to church. They use guns. At the end of each show, they pray over their meal in the name of Jesus. It seems that Phil and Willie Robertson got a surprise from the producers again when they started to review their shows for the year. They discovered fake bleeps being used to show that they were cussing when they were not. If we’re not using profanity, why make it look like we’re using profanity? What is the point? Why don’t you just run it and say what we say?” The Duck Dynasty Crew was not alone in the use of bleeps when there was not cursing on the set. According to other shows they have found the same thing. Two instances were found in SyFi’s hit “Face Off” and the show on History Channel called “American Pickers”. It is unknown if the modern day producers are doing this to make the shows look more “edgy” and to try to attract more audiences or why they would falsely put these in. Another thing that bothered Phil, who holds a Master’s Degree in Education, was that once again he is asked to stop praying in the name of Jesus. When he asked them “well who are we offending” the answer was presented to him that he and the crew were offending Muslims by the producers. This is not the first time the Duck Dynasty show has come under fire. Several times now they have been approached to stop praying and several times the answer has been the same, if you don’t like it, don’t put our show on because we will not stop. Phil even goes so far as telling them, “We are in spiritual warfare.” You have to hand it to the crew for “sticking to their guns” when it comes to their beliefs. |

I give credit for honesty, for sure. People also have to understand that when you are under someone elses employment, they are going to look after their interests.
the GAC channel is probably not going to be able to put on a show featuring the 2 live crew,, for instance..lol. Networks have sponsors, sponsors pay their bills, sponsors have consumers that prefer certain demographics and forms of entertainment. IF this is the environment of their employer, their employers sponsors and audience, that they cant be openly Christian, they should certainly be shopping around for other options themselves. |

Have People,certain People ever found out they could shut down the Television if there is a Program on that might offend them! Or is it that some Muslims are Professional Offendees when it comes to Content they feel is un-Islamic? Has anyone ever told them of the First Amendment,and that their Offendedness is bunko? There is a little Button on a TV labeled "OFF"! The uncontested absurdities of today are the accepted slogans of tomorrow. They come to be accepted by degrees, by precedent, by implication, by erosion, by default, by dint of constant pressure on one side and constant retreat on the other - until the day when they are suddenly declared to be the country's official ideology. ~ Ayn Rand |

Wow. That is about as stupid as a video I once watch where an atheist girl was complaining about how religious beliefs were infringing on her freedom. I liked this one episode of South Park where they do this time travel thing and in the future there was no religion based on gods. Instead it was based on atheism. People saying they're science was right and the beavers saying their was right. The best conclusion to come to is that even if no one believed in god. People would still be arguing over and killing for some retarded reason. It's what we do best.
Another way to look at this is they are trying to be politically correct. Something I think is BS. It is impossible to avoid insulting everyone as the very act of doing this is insulting to more intelligent people. The only people who should be insulted by someone praying to anything is if they are so retarded that they feel threatened by someone else's beliefs. I'm not threatened by anyone's beliefs unless they believe they have the right to kill for no real reason. hahaha |

Phil even goes so far as telling them, “We are in spiritual warfare.” You have to hand it to the crew for “sticking to their guns” when it comes to their beliefs. I find it interesting this article and interview by this very Liberal magazine and author all blew up right after the Robertson's helped several Republicans get elected this year and one of the family members stated he is considering running for Congress. This article\interview was nothing but a hit piece plain and simple. They knew how he would answer going in, anyone who watches the show knows how he would answer them and not to mention A&E is one of the most Liberal networks out there who are willing to lost their most watched and successful show because of political views. You cant tell me this isn't politically motivated. Duane Dog Chapman "Dog the Bounty Hunter" used anti gay and racial slurs as an attack and got recorded doing so. He apologized and A&E put him right back on the air. Also Almost every episode of DOG on A&E they prayed with the criminals, over a meal, talked about God and Christianity, nothing related to that was bleeped out and there was not controversy and nothing was even said about it and A&E didn't tell them to stop. Robertson didn't attack or insult anyone and didn't say anything bad. He simply stated his beliefs based on what the bible teaches. He wasn't using it as an attack like Alec Baldwin did on multiple occasions. He apologized and was still fired. All politically motivated. Conservatives are discriminated against in Hollywood, that's why most of them are closeted. I am so sick of how PC out society has become and what a nanny state we now are. We cant say Merry Christmas anymore or put out Christmas trees, decorations, nativity scenes because the Atheists get butt hurt but they put billboards up all over the place attacking religion. Our children cant pray or even say the pledge of allegiance in the schools anymore because of the same thing and the pledge because of the word god in it and it offends the Atheists and Muslims but they can go on fieldtrips to Mosques, are forced to write papers about Islam and Qurans were even handed out at one school! The gay community needs to stop being so sensitive. They are all about forcing their beliefs on everyone but wont respect other peoples beliefs. I am a very strong supporter of LGBT rights but things like this just piss me off. Sticks and stones. The more they ***** and whine and cause scenes like this the more they hurt their cause. Sticks and stones people sticks and stones. Everyone takes things way to seriously now days and they need to loosen up, life is way to short. |

Their sister network can have a show called All-American Muslim where they openly pray and talk about their beliefs and it's not edited at all.

I give credit for honesty, for sure. People also have to understand that when you are under someone elses employment, they are going to look after their interests. the GAC channel is probably not going to be able to put on a show featuring the 2 live crew,, for instance..lol. Networks have sponsors, sponsors pay their bills, sponsors have consumers that prefer certain demographics and forms of entertainment. IF this is the environment of their employer, their employers sponsors and audience, that they cant be openly Christian, they should certainly be shopping around for other options themselves. I hope they do go to another network. There are many that want them and who will treat them fairly and not sensor the,. They are pulling over 11 million viewers, that is more then a lot of the major networks hit TV shows and top 10 and it is the highest rated non-fiction TV show ever. not to mention this controversy will now boost the ratings even more because people will tune in now to see what the show is all about and people who support them and their beliefs will start watching just for that reason. |

Wonder how much of Soros' money is "working" at A&E! |

It doesn't take much to offend a Muslim? Some of them need to realise that people have different cultures and beliefs. If we're meant to respect their beliefs, they should have the courtesy to show the same in return? As for the PC brigade? Go f**k yourself!!

We have been PC'ed right out of our 1st amendment rights. Someone is always going to be upset with something someones else says, but that is why we have a 1st amendment..... to protect our right to say it! Lambs will always be slaughtered for food..... or fleeced...... |

the first amendment doesn't pertain to employers or citizens, it only pertains to how the GOVERNMENT must respect speech
a company, an employer, or a private citizen has the right to determine what they will accept on their property or during the times they are paying an employee for their work,,,, |

The old double standard ... They have free speech unless they say something offensive to you? Companies can avoid hiring blacks for example because they don't like their speech? Perhaps they just don't want to have blacks on their property? Liberals are all about rights unless they don't agree with the reason, then they are all about removing those rights. |

Liberals are all about rights unless they don't agree with the reason, then they are all about removing those rights. this is the text of the first amendment Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.[1] CONGRESS SHALL MAKE NO LAW,,,,,it pertains to CONGRESS, it doesn't mean that citizens and employers cant set the standards for their business or private property,,, its not a double standard, its what the constitution says just like , I don't know, drinking is legal over the age of 18 but not younger,, that's not a DOUBLE STANDARD< that's the law,,,it pertains to specific people for specific reasons and that's the 'sacrifice' part of having so many 'freedoms' and giving support to a FREE MARKET the power is given to the money makers, the owners, the people in charge of hiring and firing,, etc,, they are 'free' to make whatever decisions they choose and just wait for the natural courses of the FREE MARKE to keep them in business or put them out companies CAN decide not to hire for a host of 'legitimate' reasons to cover up their real reasons for not hiring,, |

But if someone decides that Muslims cannot sit at their coffeeshop in traditional headgear as a protest against Islamic terrorism the government can't do anything because their right to free speech is protected? The recent "Duck" situation is a classic example of how "freedom of speech" has been bastardized by political correctness and about all it takes is for someone to make an accusation of "hate speech" to bring the government into action where it has no business being. The rights guaranteed by the Constitution are being selectively enforced. The right for Muslims to openly hate Christians (and most everyone else) appears to be protected but any right of the Christians to say "Gays are sinners" is hate speech. Apparently, "hate speech" is NOT protected under the Constitution and it only the Gays, liberals, Muslims, and a few other groups right to decide to who "hate speech" applies. |

the government is NOT Involved
this is an employer, paying a person for a certain task or tasks, who gets to outline what they will pay them for or not freedom of speech doesn't mean I have to continue to employ you no matter how you speak or what you say,,,it means CONGRESS cannot make a law saying that NOONE can speak certain things or EVERYONE MUST speak certain things,, this is not a FREEDOM OF SPEECH issue, it isn't about congress, its an employer/employee situation,, |

What the duck? This and the homosexuality is a sin and poor blacks in the South were happy-go-lucky tilling cotton in the 1950's comments are while inaccurate, they are all protected free speech. But then A&E is also allowed to do what they need to do. But don"t forget that the courts are/have taken away your 5th Amendment rights.
On the other hand, not only do you have different fingers, but I have lived in big cities and an "artist community" which was predominantly gay (although the city council refuses to sanction gay marriage) and I have seen and spoken to people. Strange Fruit hanging from a tree and "Gay Bashing" was commonplace. I assume negative reactions are so strong because no one wants to see those behaviours creep back in (kinda like calling Intelligent design a science). Darn the phone kept ringing and I lost my train of thought Remember your right to swing your fists ends where my nose begins |

I think people confuse whether a person is 'likable' or perfector never did anything wrong,,,,,with whether they do their job,,,,
nothing new in that common conufusion,, I Think they say ignorant things, but if they are getting the ratings their employer should be able to keep them, or conversely, if they are losing or risking losing the employer money, they should be able to let them go (as long as its for some reason that is under the employees control,, like their speech or dress,,etc) I think there is social responsibility too, that if the persons are using a national or international medium to provoke or encourage people to do physical harm to others,, its legally and socially responsible to pull them,, but I don't know of this group going that far with their opinions,,, |

They promote satanic rituals, immoral sex acts, violence, paranoia etc. All people who sign their souls over to them like the Duck Dynasty guys have signed a contract with the reptilian overlords (Satan) and they should realize they have basically signed a contract with evil. They need to get out of their contract now before A&E corrupts them into denying their religious beliefs. All people whose greed is for fame and riches who will sign contracts with those Hollywood Satanists should expect that they will be corrupted and controlled. They should continue to pray and express their beliefs until the network lets them out of their contract. If they are sued, they should give them back their dirty money and go back to making and selling their duck callers. |
