these things began to be really scary A danish embassy has been burned in Beyrouth today and did a mess in the Christian area of the city. |

I can't be arsed to read this whole post, but those first couple that drunken posted seemed pretty close to the money. Unfortunately, right now, with the way things are going in the states, I doubt any newspaper is about to post a picture of jesus carrying a bomb... That would end up with the cartoonist ending up in a CIA prison somewhere in europe being forcefully "questioned". |

i dont think those that 'protest' have even bothered to properly interpret the cartoons - surely the main message is that terrorists are using religion? anyway, bet the police are laughing - many as suspect has shown their face. |

My POV: Bunch of pricks who made the cartoon all the more accurate by responding the way they did, thereby making the cartoon's message not worthy of "moral outcry" and themselves hypocrits. Civilised (westernised?) Muslims wouldn't go off the wall at images like this, those who did are a bunch of savages and a good case for western imperialism. |

When I said, "Bunch of pricks who made the cartoon all the more accurate by responding the way they did, thereby making the cartoon's message not worthy of "moral outcry" and themselves hypocrites." I was refering to the Muslims who went mental over it, not the newspaper. I have a lot of respect for the newspaper for showing some backbone and not saying the usual, "the cartoons were in bad taste, we are most sorry for any offence it has caused and apologise unreservedly, we've sacked a scapegoat and will run islamic terrorist-sympathetic articles for the next 6 months to make up for it". |

ooh you forgot decapitating scapegoat |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the newspapers aren't showing backbone! The editor of the norwegian newspaper who printed the cartoons (it's a christian newspaper, by the way) is calling the government cowards for making him take the responsibility.. this shows that he expected to be able to hide behind the government if someone protested... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it doesn't show he thought that on beforehand. on the other hand you can't blame him to feel fudged when he does. also let's see see how cool you'd be when you get a billion death threats |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'd be pissed off, but I wouldn't go out and commit a terrorist act against a bunch of Muslims who had nothing to do with the cartoon. Incidentally, I doubt the cartoonist(s) was a devout Christian, per se, so their choice of revenge target sucks balls. There's a big difference by being offended by someones views and going and shooting them for it, which was the point the original cartoon made. At the risk of sound like a WWJD fundamentalist Christian, do any of the knobbers concerned really think Mohammed would of responded the way they did? |

why is freedom of speech important? next muslims will take the street crying out for us to ban homosexuality because it offends them somehow discuss |

he's the editor of a christian newspaper, and he printed the pictures AFTER there had already been protests and commotion. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the best reply in a newspaper as of yet is in fact a cartoon.. it's called "fakta fra verden" ("Facts from the world"). he just had a square saying "freedom of speech is important." Then the next square said something like "we fight for freedom of speech." And then there was a picture of aforementioned editor. Then a picture of him looking like hitler. Then a picture of him looking like an arab. Then a picture of him in kiss makeup with blood running from the sides of his mouth. (there were more captions, but I can't remember them). Of course, due to the events as of late, he can't get publicly angry, but at any other time, this would've made him cry out about being harassed or whatever... |

looks like the danes have noticed all the fuss they have caused http://www.jp.dk/meninger/ncartikel:aid=3527646 meanwhile, i go to college and we have an assembly about all this - my head of year saying "the way its going people are going to be killed" and i get home and there ya go - deaths in somalia protests. this is ridiculous. |

he would send down lightningbolts on all extremists and other evil people. So far it isn't happening, so either: A: he doesn't exist B: doesn't care or finds it amusing C: likes evil people |

your previous post reminded me of Are We Here? by Orbital |

that's a great track. Snivilisation and In sides are my favourite albums by orbital. I didn't like their last few albums though |

are we here ? do we really exist ? what does god say ? why some people on earth claim there's god and they know what he/she says ? why some people are able to kill other people in the name of an idea ? etc. etc. etc. |

The "people" "demonstrating" in London with placards calling for more 9/11 type things are ABSOLUTE SCUM and should DIE NOW...that is all... |

Has anyone made the point that it's perfectly valid to draw Mohammed with a bomb as a turban if suicide bombers say they do what they do in the name of Islam?? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
epohs's pic says it all........... all the muslims i know were pissed off by these cartoons, but all of them say this violent protesting is absolute bollocks. that one picture proves that conclusively. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

they arent muslims............. the koran says stuff about being nice to people, juat like the bible and other similar religious texts/fairy stories do. |

if I blew up a hospital and then I said "merg told me to do it," would it be correct to draw a picture of you with childrens corpses hanging out your mouth? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
..I also have a feeling cs2x' and shopes images were slightly tampered with... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, because merge's image was funnier this thread has taught me however that we could be more considerate of our neighbours feelings when making jokes final thought: someone in the paper today argued that muslims have a monotheistic religion. therefor idoltry of mohammed is wrong. therefor making fun of mohammed's temper is good.D |

Sam Harris on the subject. |

|
|
haha, he's your hero as of late, isn't he? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

he seems, however, to have forgotten that there is a difference between acting out against extremist actions and against something the extremists support acting out against. I don't know for sure, but I have a strong feeling that for instance people in Iraq don't necessarily approve of the extremist ways, but they are also very afraid of what could happen if they went public with a critique of them.. they could face not only their own death, but the deaths of their loved ones. However, when a case where the extremists support your protests, protesting is probably both a way to let out steam otherwise suppressed and a way to feel more secure, as the extremists are now "on your side"; you aren't very likely to be killed. I'm a bit tired and I have a headache, but I hope that's coherent. |
||||||||
|
|

but I have a strong feeling that for instance Ha ha! Nice try, troll. |

As far as I am aware those images are NOT altered. I saw things like that in the newspaper, and they are unlikely to photoshop it just to add more fuel to the fire... Also if there are no pictures of Mohammed, how do they know they are cartoons of Mohammed? Perhaps they are cartoons of Abdul from the corner shop? And let's face it, Mohammed is a common name amongst muslims, so does it say that they are cartoons of the prophet Mohammed? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
mohammed is the most common name in the world. but the protesters dont understand the cartoons. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the one i posted was altered. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ah well there you go. the first one isn't altered, of that I'm quite sure... although your's is doctored, it's still the sort of drivel they were spouting the other day. I have to agree with Ceri JC 100% and I can't be bothered to read any more of this. After reading the Sam Harris, I agree with what he writes. I see this thread becoming quite cyclic now and all I have to say is that all those who disagree with me will be beheaded. thankyou. aphex akbar (god is great) |
||||||||

| |||||||||
|
|
how do they know it is mohammed? the article that went with the pictures clearly stated that they were pictures of mohammed. the title was indeed something like "the 12 faces of mohammed." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so you disagree, then, that not all muslims are mad killers? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

In France, in Strasbourg, there's still a law saying you can be condamned up to 3 years in jail if you blasphem againt god. The truth. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ha, thats probably just some residual medieval law. theres one of them near where i live - apparently it is still technically legal to kill a welshman with a longbow in a particular street near Hereford cathedral. |

I don't think mohammed would want anything to do with this fucking nonsense. |
