Yes, in fact you did say that (the underlined part). My bad. I guess I was sort of expecting somebody to come with the "it's forbidden because the Koran says so" argument and your post looked like it did that. In fact it didn't, so I'm sorry about reacting to it. What I said still holds, but I should've posted it by itself and not as a response to what you posted.

I know that posting something will only get me into trouble, but I'm sick of this jihad springing up every time someone exercises their rights of free speech. They really do want to silence all opposition. No wonder these countries are 100% muslim, you probably get beheaded if you don't at least pretend to be one. Anyway, the christians can really bug me sometimes, but at least they don't launch a crusade just because doonesbury (I think it was doonesbury, correct me if I'm wrong) shows a kid asking his father why jesus had long hair, kept the company of men, and hung out with a bunch of peaceniks. The right of someone to set rules for their own society, which I support, doesn't extend allowing you to apply those rules to everyone else. I would guess the cartoonist had recently had his car blown up and was a little unhappy.

I don't know why the Muslims are protesting in the streets. It would be best to play the childish, wests game by firing back with the defiling of their religious heros.

If I were in charge of the different media groups in the Muslim countries, I would send forth a memo that would ask for all news, cartoon artists to begin a campaign of cartoons depicting Jesus being azzed-raped on the cross by a goat, or other cartoons with the same theme.

Freedom of speech! You devils have got a lot of nerve.

This whole thing is incredibly disturbing.

Protesting against free speech? Free speech is what is allowing those protests with their despicable slogans in the first place!



How beautiful would this planet be without hypocrisy or fanatism.

Maybe not all muslims are ignorant, violent and intolerant but it would seem that way since those that aren't don't want to speak up against what the "crazy friggin lunatic" muslims that get all the press coverage and claim to represent the muslim world do in the name of Allah and his prophet. They get all bent out of shape over a cartoon and yet their prophet Mohammed had boys in his harem. That offends me.

Also needs to be said that there are always malcontents willing to riot for no reason. Places regularly get smashed up in political rally's protests, even sports games in the West. All you need is a couple of hundred lunatics with other grudges, bloodly mindedness and too much Tostesterone and you're shiny.

I suspect if you could magically round up rioters the world over you would find the same sort of people, young men not really invested in society who feel they have nothing to loose, the violent sociopathic types, the criminal element and political rabble rousers. The rest, the folks that demonstrate but dont take part in looting/rioting, tend to be the sheep of society. For example, none of these folks will have seen these cartoons yet they are on the street because someone told them to be.

Sheep!

But we have the same here, how many "Christian" or "Family" groups protest or boycott TV and films without seeing them, or burn Harry Potter books for being satanic?

Erm, Jaytee, there’s plenty of Muslim groups and institutions speaking out against the violence, maybe the question should be "why don't they get equal air time to the crazy fundamentalists".



More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!
The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four persons is suffering from some sort of mental illness. Think of your three best friends -- if they're okay, then it's you.

In case some of you forgot, if you roll the clock back for just a few hundred years, you will find that Christians were doing a lot of the same things as these modern day Muslims. The killings, the torture, and the murders were all done in the name of Jesus, our lord and savior. Anyone remember the Inquisition? If somehow those Christians back then were provided with modern day weapons and communications, you would have seen a level of killing and murdering by those Christians that would have made the angels weep.

Before you point the finger at the Muslims in this modern day and say how barbaric, cruel, and mean they are, or how immature they are acting, crack open a history book an enlighten yourself to the misery, and suffering the Christians of the past had bestowed to the world as a whole.

I personally believe that the western world operates on a double standard mindset and it makes me want to vomit.

You all make me sick.

I followed the link and found your thread. I'm glad you are one of the few that knows what he's talking about.
