I agree. I saw a German comic on the telly the other night who joked about the Holocaust. I thought that was in pretty poor taste... but I'd rather he joked about it than joined a neo-nazi group and reminisced about the "good old days".

Was he threatened to be blown up like the two South Park writers was?

The one where the Germans killed six million Jews. I'm surprised you had to ask, it was on the news and everything.

No idea tbh mate, don't think he did.

I am sure a stand-up today would happily do a Catholic joke but would not be so sure to mock Islam. Celebs would happily twitter something satirical about Christianity but again, not Islam or perhaps Scientology (in the USA)

How do you feel about this?

From what you said in the op the title should probably be: 'Should we defend the right to make jokes about Islam?'

Should genocide be forgotten, I'm sorry I've jumped in a bit late here but that's a strange thing to say.
Are you suggesting that all genocides are not created equal?

no, the holocaust wasn't religion, it actually happened. wtf are you talking about? Jews were not given the option to renounce their god in the holocaust, that was racial, not religious. Many people were killed just for being related to "jews" even though they don't believe in the jewish religion, it had nothing to do with religion. Jews were seen as a RACE, not a religion in the holocaust.

many so-called jews converted to christianity when they escaped Europe during ww2, they didn't care about the religion. most ethnic jews don't actually believe in judaism. they were persecuted for their ethnicity, not their religion.

very few jews actually believe in judaism. Orthodox jews are every bit as evil as the nazi's though. Orthodox jews now want to murder muslims and gays, so they are no better than the nazi's, but like i said, inn the holocaust, people were being murdered for their ethnicity, not their religion.

In response to the emboldened bit above: Many so-called gays pretended to be straight to save their lives. ie: They didn't really care about being gay.

It's not what you say that I find insulting sometimes because I've learned to make allowances for you... It's the fact that I think you really believe that you understand other people, their faith and how they feel so much more than you do.

The only other answer is that you're being intentionally insulting. It's a hard one to fathom.

preach

[Kizzy]

It's best not to engage really.

[the truth]

The holocaust killed 6 million mostly jews
I would add the germans got the idea from the british death camps which really shouldnt be forgotten in our horrific history too, we brits can be far too preachy and forget the horrors weve inflicted. such as the illegal iraq war. how many innocents died on the back of british lies? also lets not forget too the suffering of the others the nazis butchered, the 100s of thousands of disabled, the gay people oh and the russians....25 million russians died at the hands of hitler and stalin 25 MILLION? that figure boggles the mind. not to forget the italians, the spaniard , the japanese nuked in hiroshima etc over 70 million men killed during 5 insane years

When it comes to comedy nothing should be off limits and nothing should be taken seriously.
