do not harm our feeling

We all love to express ourselves and have free opinion to declare
but there are limits when we act or say , at least do not harm other feeling , do not abuse or insult
for me , I can not tolerate any word about creator or any of his messengers
what reaction do you think in these cases

Dr Badr, no one likes to have their feelings hurt. A great strength of TIG is that it brings together people from all over the world to discuss issues that are important for the world's survival. It is inevitable that people will have very different opinions on many of these problems.
Ideally, rather than adamantly saying we are always right, we should strive to have "empathy" with those having different opinions. But we should also feel free to express our opinions on all subjects within the limits of the TIG guidelines. In my view, all opinions are fair subjects for debate. Some opinions are better than others. We should not try to censure discussion just because our feelings are hurt.
However, some opinions are not based on ideas, but rather sexism, racism, "age-ism", etc. I don't feel such opinions can be expressed in any constructive way and can only hurt people's feelings.
You may feel religion is some intrinsic part of your genetic make-up over which you have no choice and therefore religion should not be questioned, lest your feelings be hurt.
I disagree. There are countless varieties of religion. People can change their religions, just like they can change their opinions. There is absolutely no evidence that one religion is any truer than another. All religions are simply opinions.
There are certainly other causes for conflict in this world, like nationalism, competition for resources, "imperialism", etc., but religion is a great source of conflict today.
Should all discussion of religion be off limits, as you say? Not when it plays such an important role in world conflict and violations of human rights.

The Japanese are known as the most polite people ,many of the western people act with the ethics of islam although they are not muslisms
we also were bred to respect other opinion and love to discuss for more understanding but under ethics limits
