But there is a difference here @ShayzwanChutney. The difference is the difference between public domain and private domain. I can guarantee you that even most vocal anti-theist will never draw a cartoon or disrespect a religious figure in a private one to one scenario. 1~ https://twitter.com/ShayzwanChutney/status/1317536407217262592

2~ All the basic courtesies you are describing are private scenarios. No anti-theist is going to a Muslim believers house and slapping a picture on the believers face. They are drawing pictures/cartoons in the public domain. In newspaper articles, in blog posts. How can ones 2~

3~ personal concept of respect be so large, so as to encompass all public domains of thought ?? If that is true, then if large numbers of a community personally starts believing in facism, do we then respect facism too ???

4~ Also about this. The teacher did not discuss with the Muslim students anything to disrespect their beliefs. The killer wasn't even related to any kids to that school. (As per Twitter) He just came across it in social media and took it upon himself. https://twitter.com/ShayzwanChutney/status/1317536420312088576?s=19

5~ Is it the same ?? One is an expression, which isn't acceptable to some people. The other is an act where a person is travelling to a place to throw something which isn't acceptable to some others. Not words, an act. A very significant difference. https://twitter.com/ShayzwanChutney/status/1317536428755046400?s=19

6~ I think most anti theists are ready for a civil discourse, and they are also willing to engage, if the other party is willing and honest about it.

The issue is not the engagement, the violence and the majoritarian forcing of norms.

The end.
