But opposing what the Pope said, Cameron said freedom of speech is important in an open society;
'I think in a free society, there is a right to cause offence about someone's religion. I'm a Christian; if someone says something offensive about Jesus, I might find that offensive, but in a free society I don't have a right to wreak vengeance on them. We have to accept that newspapers, magazines, can publish things that are offensive to some, as long as it's within the law. That is what we should defend.'

I totally agree with Cameron. Killing people over utterances should not in any way be justified. The pope should be representing Christianity. Christianity flows from Jesus Christ and Christ would never condemn killing people over whatsoever reason.
If slapped in the right chick turn the other to receive another slap..so Jesus teaches.."by not punching" the offender,you might convert that person.. James 4:17, James 1:19. @Bishop_Dammy
Okay!
same way I am free to mock his mother and he will be cool with it right?
There is something controversial about this pope??? My mind is telling me that.
Bolateethole.blogspot.com
No Cameron is right if u punch me iwil punch u simple
This is rubbish! That is NOT what the Pope said. He was giving an example saying that if the gentleman standing to his right (smiling in the pic) insulted his (the Pope's) mother, he could expect a punch from him. It had nothing to do with muslims or islam.

it's leaders like this that gets their citizens killed for no reason,the Pope is 100% right,no group,body or persons have the right to make jest of a symbol of any religion and expect it not to have any consequence,we all have to respect the religion of everyone and stop making jest of them or their religious symbols.

Oga Prime Minister, he said his friend Gasparri should expect a punch should he insult his mother! He was using it to describe what happened not what should happen.
I agree with UK prime minister! ain't christians also mocked? why don't we go ahead to butcher pple? how can mortals/humans be fighting for the immortal God? if their god is supreme he should fight for himself. severally i got mocked for being a catholic, how many persons i have bite? none, bcos i dont need to prove anything to anyone for being a catholic.
I support u that's the truth.
NA OLD AGE DEY WORRY THAT MAN... I BET HE DOESNT EVEN KNOW WHAT THE BIBLE REALLY TEACHES..... HIS FOLLOWERS SEE HIM AS god
Very correct. Well spoken PM
Yes! I said it that that pope is dumb and stupid. Pple mock jesus everyday bt nothing happens, Only Animals like bothers nd sisters in islam will kill becos of that rapist and adulterer called mohammed....who is he not to be insulted?? all insult and curses must be upon him....animal,who slept with his son's child,killed,slept with a 6yr old girl,slept with Old and young...oloshi, The Only Prophet without a prophecy.........what a devlish religion.
He's right!
Cameron is right
Let us forget about what the Pope said, it is embarrassing based on what the Bible encourages us to do. It would have sounded better if he had said the temptation to punch will be there but restraint is key.
As much as I kinda agree with the PM, you also don't test people. We already know that there are a lot if Islamic fanatics that are violent. So yes, they should expect a punch for speaking against their religion.
This is so ignorant of Cameron!
All man with his opinion jare.
All of you don't understand english
Listen to your self, i think the pm is right. You should go back to school and get some education. Freedom of speech and its limits, If not watched closely it can cause havoc like what happened in france. You dont mock other religion, and dont expect a bunch....
Very correct. Well spoken PM
Very correct. Well spoken PM
Plz with due respect I do not agree with pop killing those pple shuldnt have been the option u dnt fight for God at all
ITS WELL ALL THIS KILLING AND FIGHTING ALL OVER THE WORLD GOD WILL SAVE US JC
Y post dsame statemnt over n over again? Grow up pls
D pope like to make stupid speech always so is not new to me.
~@iamjbankz SA to President Jonathan 2015~
Right or wrong, I know d Almighty can fight His own battle & does not need me to fight for Him. I beg to disagree with d Pope on dis one. Linda take note!
I don't me to skul you but just to advise you. Neva speak ill of a man of God. Linda take note.
our level of comprehension in this new age is quite alarming ........
what d pope meant was that d 2 sides were @ fault?
1. the cartoonist had NO RIGHT 2 insult any one`s religion under d guise of freedom of speech
2. Muslim jihadists are wrong in killing people under d slightest provocation. (Which I concur)
LETS CALL A SPADE A SPADE, then this world would a better place..........
Shut up! What kind of xtian are u? Jesus talked about forgiveness and tolerance and never asked anybody to fight for him! Ok?
I guess UK pm is right

Thank God someone is talking right not wit double edge mouth...
God bless David....The pope just sanctioned killings by the muslims. The other day, he was seen praying with them in their mosque. to which God please. I understand the pope is a religious leader and he should be seen as a man of peace, but he is loosing it gradually. The Bible said do not be un-equally yoked with the unbelievers, what has darkness got to do with light?......cross
Evenn gunshot wound sef
Mr Prime Minister , and then Jesus added that we should turn the Other cheek. How often did Peter or Paul go after the Romans? when Jesus was mocked on the cross, did God come down, Smoke billowing from his nose and clouds under his feet to avenge him? Oh, going back to me eye for an eye days, did Moses not release commandments, one of which says not to judge lest one be judged in like manner? Is finding some abusive thing to say about someone'S preferences not judgment? Make una read Una bible, all you world leaders, the time has come when you need it to make wise decisions
MOCKING OTHER PEOPLE AND HATE OTHER COLOR OF PEOPLE IS NOT WHAT WE SHOULD CALL FREEDOM , SHOULD WE NOW SAY SLAVERY, AND KILLING BLACK PEOPLE , IS FREEDOM
I WOULD LIKE TO SAY TO THIS SO CALL CAMERON THAT YOU ARE SOOOOO WRONG ,
BECAUSE IF ANYBODY MOCK THE SO CALLED JEW , YOU WILL END UP CARRY YOU DRONE PLANE TO BOMB THEM , I THINK TH PM AND THE EURO ARE RACIST
I THINK Z D TRUTH DUO Z HARD TO ACCEPT..Z WRONG TO MAKE MOCKERY OF PEOPLEZ RELIGION

In as much we have freedom speech, we should tackle other people's faith. Really love pope opinion on world matter; but wee should also learn to have religious tolerance. Thanks
Guy you b idiot...ode
Don't insult other ppl faith but I also find it crazy when ppl fight for religion, Na u be Jesus christ/ Muhammad???
#Commenting thru Glo 4G LTE
TELL DEMMM JAWE
D UK pm is a christian but doesn't love Jesus d way dese Muslims love Muhammed, A typical Muslim can ignore a mouth watering deal because his on his knees praying but of course very few Christians would do dat, so d PM should use his mother as an example because it's still under dsame "freedom of expression" won't he react if his mother is mimicked? Me I will react so freedom of expression should be limited.
Na wa o
D Pope did not applaud d Paris attack, d Pope only made it clear dat it is wrong to insult one's believe n dat it might lead to violence.
Right cheek........haba Bishop, u have been making some blunders lately abi u be the fake Bishop Dammy? What Pope said is,'u can EXPECT a slap.' If u followed what the Pope said, he condenmed the actions of the terrorists. He was trying to explain that people take laws into their own hands without considering that there is freedom of speech when ever a provocative statement is made against them.
The pope said "they should expect a punch" but he didn't say,it should be given,don't misunderstand what he said
DJ i can't stop laffin
THAT TALK IS LIKE TAKING SIDE WITH THEIR ACTION.IN OTHER WORDS,IT MEANS IF ANYONE TALKS ILL OF YOUR RELIGION,KILL THEM....AKA...JUST SAYING
@ anon 2:43, I think ur a muslim and a bad one at that, cuz as far as am concerned ,God can defend himself..he doesn't need humans to do so...#Kapish#
You're certainly getting it wrong. Pope is trying to say that if u disrespect someone's religion u are at d risk of a 'punch'. He didn't mean that getting a "punch" is d solution.
Ur english is horrible...and I took note of it...lolz
Freedom of speech is when u make a less than smart remark abt d Obama girls and lose ur job.
Freedom of speech is when Jim Clancy makes a less than smart comment and loses his job of 34yrs with CNN.
Freedom of speech is when u repeatedly mock a religion (a violent one at that) and pay the price. Don't say less than smart things. We live in a world with sensitive pple.
And sm1 mocking Christianity is it right? Is it bcos christians love their enemies, u tk it for granted?
Freedom of speech is allowed. But i feel we should all respect people's religion even if we don't believe in what/who they worship. It makes tings easier and more peaceful
Stop putting the Pope's remarks in a stupid contest. He said "He should expect a punch"He did not say he will throw a punch. When you expect something it doesnt mean you would get it. Let the Saudi King come out boldly and denounce Islamic radicalism, seeing as the Pope is defending his religion.
this thing is getting twisted.. I dont think the Pope undermine the sadness the deaths of the people in France has caused their families.
today's media keep feeding us half truths, unfortunately Linda Ikeji is in that league. when the Church held her synod, Linda was among the first to publish preliminary reports about accepting gays in the Church. sadly, Linda and her cohorts in the media refused to publish the full report of that synod when it was concluded. now they are reporting part of what The Pope said about the charlie hebdo attack (a. freedom should not make you insult people's faith. b. you don't take human life because you were provoked)...and my people still perish for lack of knowledge. Dear Linda, while you need all the controversies to keep the cheques coming, be mindful of your line of reporting. please give us full reports of issues especially as they relate to The Pope and The Catholic Church in the face of increasing persecution. Yet, the gates of hell shall never overcome The One;Holy;Catholic and Apostolic Church. The media can continue to try all they want....
And since when did massacre become a punch. That was too extreme. And no one should defend that.
We are now living in TWO WORLDS:
1) A World of DIPLOMACY
2) A World of TERRORISM
While the FORMER belongs to THE WORLD of civilised, decent and home trained, the LATER belongs the feeble hearted, ill trained at home, school dropouts.
The FIRST BELONGED to the OLD GENERATION of diplomacy.
The SECOND BELONGS to the NEW GENERATION of VIOLENCE.
So, in our dealings and actions, we should look(like environmental impact assessment) at THE REACTIONS of the GROUP, both corporate or Individuals, we want to deals with. LET US LOOK BEFORE WE LEAP. The DIPLOMACY TIME has CHANGED into VIOLENCE TIME!!! FREEDOM of this FREEDOM of that!!! No longer SENSE OF REASON in today's world. Let us be careful. What hurts another may not hurt you. LET US RESPECT EACH OTHER. DISCIPLINE IS THE ONLY CONTROL NOW!!!!
Because there is freedom of speech that dose not mean you shuld be stupid or disrespectful of other ppls religion
Ogun wee kill u for posting more than once,idiot
The UK PM is right
Pope Francis is nothing but a wretched Muslim apologist...
And so the damnable reprobate would go to a Mosque in Turkey to face the direction of the Kaaba in Mecca, in S/Arabia, to bow and holler 'Allahu Akbar' to the stone monolith that is tucked in its pussy-shaped receptacle...
I hate to think that this thing is the leader of the Catholic Church, the biggest Christian denomination in the world...
Bagger is simply justifying terrorism!!!!
But nothing in this world justifies terrorism...
Nothing...
Did you know that same Charley Hebdo had in one of its editions derided Mary in one of its worst depiction, and had once depicted Jesus Christ as a pig..
Yet no Christian went berserk with guns to slaughter...
Today Muslims are Burning churches and killing Christians in Niger and other parts of the world, just because of Charley Hebdo
ISLAM IS EVIL!!!!
ISLAM IS SATAN THE DEVIL ITSELF!!!!!!
This man is right, even though speaking against a religion is wrong, it's also wrong to 'punch' coz of that
NOTHING JUSTIFIES TERRORISM!!!!!
MR. SICK POPE FRANCIS IS DEAD WRONG!!!!
Pope pope pope. Is that man really born again?. To all Muslims if u serve a living God he should fight for himself not U. Ask those that acted Jesus the gangstar movie they will tell U how Jesus fought for himself and not Christians fighting for him
Love nwantiti
NDI MGBU...d pro cameron can't even undestand simple English language.
U can say anything about my religion...abuse it,mock it,ridicule it..that doesn't take nothing from me....God doesn't need man to defend his name...and so I c no reason y I should go about killing pple,destroying properties cos some misguided pple insulted my religion...
Is this what UK can offer as their PM? In the premier league in UK if make a racist comment against a footballer you are in soup. Now this same premier league overlord is giving a free pass to the news media to abuse one's faith. He must be hollow! Really HOLLOW!
Its democracy quite alright but people should respect people's choice of religion and all.
I know your mother. She's a canivorous witch and I'm going to publicise it! Now, I'm waiting to be invited by you to dinner for my expose on your mother since it's ok with you and Mr. Cameron!

@Juliet Iwuno, bitch shut up already with that "Linda take note" shit. Aren't you tired of saying that.
You see it from the Christian side. Now, turn around and see it from the side of a Moslem. The world is not all Christian! That's where you all fall flat!
And wot makes u so sure dat the pope is a man of God??? Smh
It's no wonder you write as Anonymous, COWARD!
Well Linda, that's not what the pope said - get ur facts right.
The pope said, if a colleague of his insults his mother - he can expect a punch!
U don't accept it but u don't take it to streets either! Like it or not Islam is just d only problem we v in dis world, yes, the cristain religion has its flaws but we don't take it to streets, killing pple like fowl...
Thank you jare
Yes o! There is! he is d antichrist! So obvious!
Thank you jare
The best comment I have read here! A lot of people here write before comprehension or thinking through the Text they read.
Let us all live in peace. Muslims are too intolorant and aggressive
You seem to be the only one that understood what the Pope meant to say. Comprehension in the age and time is so minute. And the PM blabbing all his bullshit should read what the Pope said and understand what he was saying.
But I guess the world will be a better place if we all start to provoke each other. You are so smart.
He's right..
i don't agree with the UK PM on this one.
in his country if i mock gay or transgender people even as a journalist, the backlash will be serious, and i won't get away with it. they will not excuse it under 'freedom of expression'.
why then is it okay to wax satirical over something so obviously sensitive as religion? i'm not saying its right to kill because of it though. just that it looks like a whole lot of double standards to me.
there's enough material from politicians and people in government for the media to make fun of.
There is nothing wrong with the pope praying in the mosque, the sooner all you religious fanatics stop seeing yourself different from people of other religion the better for world peace. I will go to church on Sunday and also go to the mosque on Friday. I am going to pray and worship God that's all i know as long as they let me in.
Old fool like u
what do u know
Go and mock Allah and u will be dead try it
The pope said 'Expect' let me break it down, when u get people angry be expecting a punch, that doesn't mean u will get a punch for every person u get angry,silly Cameron, church of England my ass,go and read their history,u will understand where all of these is coming from
Your UQ is low...sorry
Low IQ....go back ...read what you typed....sit then reflect....what do you think still???...in your mind have u spoken like you are educated????? You may have been brilliant @ school(which i doubt) but you def not educated...funny all i feel for you is pity....
p.s....i am not a muslim..
*like*
Should have took more note in language school.
Eku iroju oo!! Misejaculated creations ...im sure its ppl like u dat trully deserve the punch ur pope mentioned atleast it'll serve as an auto reset for a cotton wooled brain head like u r.
Go to Qatar,Dubai Saudi Arabia and see the luxurious life they are leading basically because they choose to follow the prophecy of Muhammad (S.A.W).
Does he have to open his open to say it. Open ur eyes beyond the leader pls!
I dont no why my spirit is not connecting with this pope at all. Something is not right somewhere.
@ Obinna Okorie, thank u jare
Freedom of speech?!
Is it still acceptable when:
-it causes your neighbor to be hurt?
-it causes your neighbor to be provoked to anger?
-it causes your neighbor to feel his beliefs are being scorned at and undermined?
-it causes your neighbor to feel his God and faith are being insulted?
- it causes your neighbor to react in a way that bludgeons the hitherto peaceful harmony between you and him?
- it causes your neighbor to be driven to the precipice of jettisoning the sympathy with Charlie Hebdo victims and joining sympathy with extremism?
-it causes your neighbor to actually spark off protests thereby causing more unrest and deaths as is currently going on in Pakistan and Niger?
I really don't think so and I agree with the Pope! As much as I sympathize with #jesuischarlie and condemn all forms of violence and religious extremism, on the flip side i also believe in the mutual respect of the other person's faith and beliefs.
In the light of this, Charlie Hebdo and every other people bent on insulting religions should be asked to exercise caution and respect as they exercise their freedom of speech and not to drive fragile peaceful coexistence into more bloodshed and anarchy. I believe the assassinated editors wherever they are would smile more on acts tailored to bring peace to the world than the opposite.
You are tunnel visioned. Try to see things from the Moslem's angle instead of your own ( Christian) angle. The world is not all Christian!
Really, who is antichrist? The Pope who is an ambasador for world peace or your Cameron, self acclaimed Christian who sanctioned that man can marry man in the UK! Or is it you, with prosperity as your God? Pity you!
Pope is entitled to his own opinion, but have not said anything about bombing catholic churches in the North Nigeria.if mocking Islam will lead them to kill, what will Christians do when they are bombing churches? Pope, Sir tell the world the truth about this your comment. History alone tells us that Islam has been mocking Christians
Hear Mr. Cameron: "I am a Christian ......." These days everone claims "Christian" including antichrist Cameron who sanctioned the marriage between men in the U.K. His place in Hell is already booked!
I wud not diginify wat u just sed by insulting u. Let me elighten ur low IQ the pope always and will always preach about peace. He made an example abt someone expecting a punch. The key word is expect. I kno don't kno wat it means. Thankfully the pope is answerable to no man else u wud ve seen him on twitter trying clarify things.
Yes! I said it that that pope is dumb and stupid. Pple mock jesus everyday bt nothing happens, Only Animals like brothers nd sisters in islam will kill becos of that rapist and adulterer called mohammed....who is he not to be insulted?? all insult and curses must be upon him....animal,who slept with his son's child,killed,slept with a 6yr old girl,slept with Old and young...oloshi, The Only Prophet without a prophecy.........what a devlish religion.
& Y is aunty LINDA not posting ma commentz?????

Nice one
He is not wrong he his right....As you lay your bed so shall you lie on it! ("Most Nigerian Gossipers and Publicist really need to go to school to understand the fundamental of new comprehension")
Look at this. I wonder how you would react if an imam says this? Ask yourself that.
OLODO PRIME MINISTER, THE PUNHC THING WAS ONLY A FIGURE OF SPEECH. MORE SO, HE SAID MAY GET A PUNCH AND NOT MUST BE PUNCHED.
