No One Murdered Because Of This Image. But Blocked On Facebook For 24 Hours.

Yes, really. Shortly after the Charlie Hebdo terrorist attack in Paris, I shared this article on Facebook. They deleted the post and blocked me from posting anything for 24 hours. Me and 233.7k other users on Facebook, 18.1k on Twitter and 3.9k on Google+. They blocked ME. Also, I had to re-authorize all Facebook connections with other apps. Maybe, one of the prophets knows why this was necessary.

It’s from 13th September 2012, and the cartoon in it shows the Hebrew prophet Moses high-fiving Jesus Christ as both are having their erect penises vigorously masturbated by Ganesha, all while the Hindu deity anally penetrates Buddha with his fist.

It’s satire. Probably, a user reported that post as “offensive” (or so). My advice: get over the fact that religion is subject to criticism, also in form of satire. This was not meant to be pornographic or anything like that. While you’re at it, get over the idea of free speech. It’s also for you, and lots of people fought and died for that, for your right to speak freely and publicize your opinions. As weird as someone may find them.

Hence …

I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

— Francois Voltaire
