Current Events > Woman gets death threats for criticizing Islam. UK police say she's to blame.

(+) Yeah! (+)

And the police refuse to investigate.

tl;dw: A woman dares to criticize Islam on social media, and people send her death threats over it. When she goes to the police (while livestreaming the event), they refuse to investigate the death threats because "the situation could have been avoided"

It's actually stunning how so many people in the UK are more ok with death threats than they are of criticizing Islam, one of the worst and most violent religions in the world today.

She should just say some people are out front of her house with unlicensed tin snips
---

She shouldnt be getting death threats for expressing her freedom of speech in the form of being critical of the Islamic religion. Bad on the police for victim blaming her, if true.
---

This is the lefts idea of tolerance.
---

Isn't that victim blaming?

The far left, anyway, who are fascists lacking in all reason and self-awareness.

Apparently it's not victim blaming if the victim said something mean about Islam.

Did anyone in the USA even bother to so much as lift a finger to investigate death threats sent to Anita Sarkeesian, TotalBiscuit, etc.
---

How many people actually watched this 4 and a half minute video?
---

I'm pretty sure death threats don't stop being death threats just because they "could have been avoided."

Why wouldn't they

And I'm pretty sure the police didn't blame them for the threats.

It's almost as if they make death threats over the slightest criticism of their religion

Because lots of reasons. Namely there's little reason to believe in the credibility of most death threats delivered anonymously through the internet so it becomes a giant money sink for no reason.

Now sure that doesn't excuse the police blaming her for getting the threats but cops say dumb shit all the time. There's nothing unusual about not investigating death threats. One time in New York my apartment got burglarized and we called the police and they basically showed up looked around a bit, shrugged, and left. Real life investigation isn't like a TV crime drama is what they told us.

I dunno, its like poking a beehive and then complaining about the bees. You are welcome to say that its awful that we have a religion where this sort of behavior is more the norm than can coexist with modern society, but how do you suppose we control that? Through coercion? Thats how ISIS found its footing.

I think its obnoxious that people think they can avoid consequences for their actions. Its like throwing stones from behind a fence because youre confident nothing can reach you. Hows about some tolerance? Its basic escalation of conflict, you dont do it if you arent prepared to see it through to the end. Islam is shit, protect me police is fucking immature.

death threats from losers on the internet who post "you deserve to die"

vs

death threats from a religion feared for it's violent sects

if police get involved in the former (i.e you get a message from a police department via text as a warning for you actions) people would revolt, and if they get involved in the latter it could cause these threats to become reality

The woman in the video got phone calls. The death threats weren't just on youtube comments.

You said "delivered anonymously through the internet". I was just pointing out that wasn't the case.

Also, I'm 99.999% certain Zoe has gotten the police to investigate her threats.

Has anyone been charged for death threats made through the internet or phone? I'm guessing it's easier if the victim knows the person but I haven't heard any stories like this actually leading to anything.

How about some tolerance from the people making death threats because their religion is simply being criticized? No one deserves a death threat for making a criticism of something. That's horse shit.

Death threats are not an acceptable escalation from criticism. Are you actually that far-gone?

I was gonna be surprised to see someone actually defending sending death threats because of hurt feewings

then I remembered where I was.

Yeah "tolerance" isn't just accepting that death threats are an acceptable reality to criticism.

This same guy had a very different response to the rape allegations made from women in Japan and how the police responded to those.

I wonder why?

He also tries to paint anyone slightly left in the most negative light possible.

Anita went to the UN about her death and rape threats and Mal/other gators laughed at her. I wonder what's with the about face.

Just to be clear, you don't think death threats made over the phone should be investigated?

Anita asked the UN to take action on messages like "you suck". Not even remotely comparable.

I have been the target for 3 years nonstop of egregious online harassment in all levels. I think its important to recognize that harassment is, as someone had mentioned, its not just what is legal and illegal, right? Harassment is threats of violence, but its also the day to day grind of youre a liar, you suck, making all these hate videos to attack us on a regular basis, and the mobs that come from those hate videos, etcetra.

That's not what she said.

So again, not even remotely comparable to death threats or being told that death threats are her fault.

Shes entitled to her opinion, no matter how trash tier shit it is. But she isnt allowed to tell people not to say she or her opinions suck. Nobody is defending the death threats she is recieving

Except you're ignoring the full quote. I've bolded to help make it clearer for you. You're completely ignoring the 'day to day grind' and 'mobs' that are literally said in the same sentence.

You're also ignoring that they are examples of harassment that aren't considered illegal.

Death threats for insulting Islam? No big deal.
Train your pug to do a nazi salute as a joke? CRIMINAL SCUM!

The same guy calling you a liar every day for a year is still not comparable to death threats over the phone.

I'm not sure what part of this you aren't getting
