If we’re truly for peace, justice and unification we cannot be ignorant or arrogant in our own flaws. Are our ideals more legitimate than others? In an international system of government, law enforcement and media, we cannot fail to distinguish the difference between ideals and freedom. We must respect that there is a thin line between freedom and ideals and some discourtesies in journalism. No matter what kind of freedom you advertise; freedom of expression, press freedom, you name it. How we insist that provocative attitudes and influential reports are imposed on others cannot be with disregard when the same is expected of us. There must be a place where we draw the line.
Psychological manipulation is an assault. Within the main cultures, creed or religions of Asia, the Middle East and Russia, respect for political and religious leaders is warranted. Slandering of authority figures or blasphemy of prophets are as serious as pedophilia, adultery or animal cruelty in the West. This is their ideal. It does not mean that they encourage pedophilia, adultery or cruelty to animals. it equates the scale of seriousness that is attributed to such acts. Just because we have a superior military with a mass media does not give us the freedom to disregard their leaders, Holy Prophet/s or their sacred ideals. If so, they too will disregard our leaders and our ideals.
Press freedom has limits because no one is free to impose what they believe is grotesque. Remember, democracy is about the people, not the media or a unilateral idea – the people. Besides, we should also note that our press is blatantly bias when it comes to its government, law enforcement and corporate interests. Therefore, our media is expected to show the same respect toward the governments, law enforcement, established religion, ideals or corporate interest of other countries. When we decide to impose our ideals on them, we ask for war. In this context, we see that the main point is the LIMITATION of our freedom as it relates to the respect for the other ideals around the world. Basically, we are not the only ones with sensitive ideals.
This is far too crucial! This is
exactly why China, North Korea, Iran and other Nations are our enemies
now. Because we refuse to accept their leaders, religious system and
IDEALS while using our mass media to impose ours on them. What’s to stop
those countries from banding together to attack us? As far as I condemn
any and all kinds of violence, cruelty and contempt for human rights, I
also do not support pedophilia, racism, cruelty to animals in the name
of culture, ideals or religion. That said, the truth remains constant
that, we must respect others as they respect us. We must be sensitive to
the grotesque nature of our actions towards them and their ideals. Our
media must be respectful.
ALL murders and violators of human rights must be brought to justice!
