“We are language-using and culture-incorporating entities whose forms of experience, conduct, and interaction take shape in linguistically structured environments and are conditioned by the meanings they bear.”

As research and our Western Democratic elite determine, political and security, words strung together by any Culture Ideology are not benign they are always constructed to have an affect, "Words matter.", just as words enable peace words also enable war:"Words are dangerous weapons." New South Wales Attorney-General Gabrielle Upton, 2015.

True 
"Words are dangerous weapons."

True

Nursery Rhymes on Cultures Knee:

Western 1872 version: Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.
"Sticks and Stones" is an English language children's rhyme. It persuades the child-adult victim of name-calling to ignore the taunt, to refrain from physical retaliation, and to remain calm and good-natured.

Role in Western culture
This sentiment is reflected in/reflects the Western common law of civil assault, which holds that mere name-calling does not give rise to a cause ‘provocation’ of action, while putting someone in fear of physical violence does. 

The corner stone values of Democracy

Western 2015 version: 
Swords and guns may break my bones, but words, images, body language will never hurt me.

Western “Duty to Doubt” Be doubtful, Be sceptical, Be critical.

Certainty is the root of all evil.

Accept being doubted, accept being viewed as untrustworthy, and accept being criticised without resorting to violence.

The State circumscribed by Law has a monopoly on the legitimate use of coercion.

The corner stone values of Tyranny


Islamic version 7th century C.E– 2015: 
Words, images, body language will ‘provoke’ me to break your bones with swords and guns and I will certainly hurt you.

Role in Islamic culture
This sentiment is reflected in/reflects the Islamic/Muslim cultural codex to justify assault and murder, which holds that mere name-calling justifiably gives rise to a cause ‘provocation’ of action, whilst no fear of physical violence exits.

Quran Surah 33 AL-AHZAB The Confederates
36 It is not fitting for a Believer, man or woman, when the matter has been decided by Allah and His Messenger, to have any option about their decision: if anyone disobeys Allah and his Messenger, he is indeed on a clearly wrong path.
....
56 Allah and His Angels send blessings on the Prophet: O ye that believe! Send ye blessings on him, and salute him with all respect.
57 Those who annoy Allah and his Messenger – Allah has cursed them in this world and in the Hereafter, and has prepared for them a humiliating Punishment.
58 And those who annoy believing men and women undeservedly, bear (on themselves) a calumny and a glaring sin.
....
60 Truly, if the Hypocrites, and those in whose hearts is a disease, and those who stir up sedition in the city, desist not, we shall certainly stir thee up against them: then will they not be able to stay in it as thy neighbours for any length of time:
61 They shall have a curse on them: wherever they are found, they shall be seized and slain (without mercy).
62 (Such was) the practice (approved) of Allah among those who lived afortime: no change will they’ll find in the practice (approved) of Allah.
....
73 (With the result) that Allah has to punish the Hypocrites, men and women, and the Unbelievers, men and women, and Allah turns in Mercy to the Believers, men and women: for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.


Please note the above quotes from the Quran are a miniscule example of what exists within the Quran to categorise Other out-groups; Unbelievers, Hypocrites and defectors as an evil, duplicitous, non-human-apes, etc. to be shunned and to be justifiably attacked subjugated or eliminated, ‘innocence’ is severely circumscribed to apply to Believers only.

Such Nursery Rhymes on the Islam/Muslim Culture Ideology’s Knee, Always, Always from Islam/Muslim Culture Ideology, generation to generation, when enabled to attain resource, social/political thresholds, be it situated within medieval or modern times, equals:

The Muslim good participating as required “chillingly resembles Himmler’s thoughts in his infamous Posen speech in 1943.” “it was a depressing reminder of the black shirts of the Third Reich”





“You will no longer say to your children: ‘Go to sleep and grow.’ You will say: ‘Sleep and rise, my son. The target is 2071. You will realize the footsteps of the Great Turkey,’” Eroglu said, referring to a milestone anniversary that Erdogan has cited several times.


The date represents the 1,000-year anniversary of the battle of Manzikert, between Ottomans and Greeks, which is widely considered as the start the conquest by Ottoman forces of the land that would one day become modern-day Turkey.


Erdogan has repeatedly claimed he envisions Turkey will enjoy the prominence it did during its imperial period by, saying in 2012 that by 2071 “God-willing, Turkey will once again reach the level it has been in the past under the Ottomans and the Seljuks.”

Islamic “Duty to Certainty” Be certain, Be compliant, Be silent.

Doubt is the root of all evil.

Other accept the certainty Islam is right, Other accept compliance to Islamic dictates, Other accept silence as to the veracity of the Islamic/Muslim cultural codex (textual and exemplar (messianic) template) or accept violence ‘provoked’ by Others failure to accept.

The state does not have de facto monopoly on the legitimate use of coercion.

What will happen, what has happened particularly to women when there is a demand as a societal norm the ‘victim’ should have acted ‘responsibly’ to prevent ‘provocation’ of the perpetrators violence, the victim therefore deserves what they get?

“To make one exception means to make them all.”
Blaming the Victim: Charlie Hebdo and Free Speech By Nicole Gelinas, January 18, 2015 New York Post

As with a person as with a culture utilising such a notion of 'provocation' which justifies violent action where no threat of violence exists this construct will invariably run through the whole of cultural method for dealing with internal and external nonconformity to cultural codex dictates.

This is what we want in Western Democratic streets a return to a “Duty to Certainty” and the terror which always follows in its wake as we have had clear proof of for centuries and even in our own time?

"Forty-five churches were torched over the weekend in Niger's capital during deadly protests over the publication of a Prophet Mohammed cartoon by the French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo, police say.

The protests, which left five people dead and 128 people injured in Niamey, also saw a Christian school and orphanage set alight, said Adily Toro, a spokesman for the national police."

Is just one child lost worth the unfathomable grief to a mother, to a father , to a brother, to a sister, to a nation caused by having such a culture which informs this obscenity in our midst to continue delivering via the few they create by their very own hands the escalating terror we see before us?

In the UK, your child's teacher could be a spy - New security guidelines that require teachers to report pupils who show signs of radicalisation are worrying educators.
Imran Khan Aljazeera 08 Apr 2015

Imran Khan Should be asking 
"How is it the Islamic/Muslim codex enables such terror against Other to be analogised into reality consistently constantly from generation to generation which causes Other to lose complete faith in the Islamic/Muslim cultures ability to stop the terror emanating from its ranks, so Other has to institute laws to have teachers spy on their students and students to spy on their teachers? "

Imran Khan should be asking 
"How is it the Islamic/Muslim culture forces Other to institute Orwellian constructs within the Public Square?" Do you understand Imran Khan what has to happen for a Western culture based upon Liberty and Equality to institute such a practice? The alternative?"

Anything, anything is possible under such a construct, is this safe to have in any Public Square, for to dissent from such irrationality informs what response? Reasoned debate? Could it be the level of violence emanating from any culture is directly proportional to the validity and iniquitous nature of its cultural codex social constructs regards women and Other?

ABC in showing just half the new Charlie Hebdo front page in news broadcasts sent what message? Respect? Respect for whom, the victims or the cultural perpetrator? By your action ABC you are informing what norm now in the Australian Public Square?
You do of course understand ABC - Cultures justify and authorise terror the individual adherent ‘Few’, as individuals or in groups deliver it. Who is then ‘responsible’ the victim, the individual ‘Few’ or the culture which created the individual ‘Few’ and is still doing so?
"Wrong: “If we could only communicate we could resolve all our conflicts.”
True: “Communication is often essential to resolving conflict, but rarely a solution itself.”

Communication may make it clear we have much more difference than we thought.


Dealing with conflict – ‘Let’s do it differently now and we will do it better.’ …. we are not writing on a blank slate when we try to change the way we think about or understand how we behave in conflict. The fact is we started learning to manage conflict early and those lessons are not just going to go away because we have researched this or listened to a lecture or done some reading.


We’ve been learning to deal with conflict from our culture and our organizations and certainly we begin in our families starting at a very early in our lives. …There is a difference in how cultures approach conflict… cultures teaches lessons of how to handle conflict,… each organization develops cultures about how to handle conflict… deeper than all of that is the family structure. We all learned early in life about conflict, and what it means and what happens if we handle it in a given way, we learned it in our families starting when we were very young as toddlers, tried out saying ‘No.’, how that person reacted was potentially your first lesson in managing conflict and you have been learning it ever since. So we learned in the family and what we did learn and the lessons we learned led to behavior we adopted and we got habituated to, we get skilled at so our early learning drivers inform and awful lot of the way we deal with conflict and we go choose organizations where we apply those skills and it all fits within the culture so we are not people who come into conflict, like it is a new subject, we are people who come to the subject of conflict management having learnt it early, we’ve got built in ideas, some of that learning really works well, we are getting along, we are not killing each other, it still amazes me humans do as well as we do, managing conflict although we could do a lot better, some of the ideas we got, the way of dealing with conflict turned out to be wrong ideas.”
