About Paul Spoerry

I’m a groovy cat who’s into technology, Eastern Thought, and house music. I’m a proud and dedicated father to the coolest little guy on the planet (seriously, I'm NOT biased). I’m fascinated by ninjas, the Internet, and anybody who can balance objects on their nose for long periods of time.

I have a utility belt full of programming languages and a database of all my knowledge on databases... I practice code fu. Oh, I've also done actual Kung Fu, and have a black belt in Tae Kwon Do.

I run. I meditate. I dance. I blog at PaulSpoerry.com, tweet @PaulSpoerry, and I'm here on Google+.

I'm currently work for IBM developing web enabled insurance applications for IBM and support and develop a non-profit called The LittleBigFund.

    They were killed so that exempts them from critique?

    Their cartoons can be critiqued as art, but how can you justify murdering someone over a cartoon?

    +Paul Spoerry who is trying to justify them being murdered over a cartoon though? I'm not.

    +Kent Goertzen Radical Islamic followers; in other words.. those who killed people over cartoon drawings of Mohammed. The point Harris was making was about those who are apologists for radical Islam… that there is no moral analysis that needs to be done over people killing others over cartoons.

    +Paul Spoerry that was a given. But aside from them in those critical of the paper and cartoons?

    +Paul Spoerry besides the extremists who wanted him dead. Who tried to justify it?

    "It's normal. You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others." – Pope Francis

    Ron Paul called it "blowback" against imperial French and American foreign policy (http://www.fitsnews.com/2015/01/12/ron-paul-lessons-paris/). And while it's very valid that the West monkeying in the Middle East has repercussions attacking a comic is hardly justified.

    Res Aslan just goes on and on how it's the Wests fault – http://www.salon.com/2015/01/12/reza_aslan_those_asking_why_muslims_arent_condemning_attacks_dont_own_google/

    There are more but the bottom line is that as soon as somebody kills over a cartoon there's no moral analysis to be done… they're killers.

    Those aren't justifications. False equivocation on your part.

    Sure man. Have a good one… You've yet to make any real point and obviously don't want to put in the effort to have an actual discourse. I'm bored with your one sentence question/rambling.
