cartoon death threat

[brionon]

The Danish man who drew the cartoons that so upset the Muslims is in hiding after a reward was offered for his death. A reward for murder. How much longer are we going to allow Muslims to run amok in our western society ?

Lucky Christians are okay (and never protest):http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/tv_an d_radio/4289915.stm

Bear in mind that the KKK class themselves as Christian.

Then there are the Jehova Witnesses: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/panorama /2119903.stm

And don't even get me started on the Catholics.

Maybe not..but still dangerous to know!

How much are the CIA offering for Bin Laden dead or alive these days?

[ludwig]

Grow up Mani.

[Reverandfunk]

Muslims?

2 bob the lot of them.

Death threats against him? I'd wouldn't be worried the "extremists" can't find their ar5e with both hands half the time.

[Reverandfunk]

Islamic tolerence?

Are u f$%^ing mad?

How about Muslims not behaving like little girls when someone says something they don't like.

[Oneeyedvic]

Yeah, sorry Raggy, I thought the question was about threats to individuals - not about bomb threats.

As Jake points out, what about the Amercian threats?

Luckily the IRA never bombed main land Britian. Do you see all Irish people as IRA terrorists?

If not, why not - the IRA killed more people in this country that the Muslim's have.

[jake-the-peg]

Well at least they don't urinate on dying women!

[jake-the-peg]

My point is that had this guy doing the urinating been a Moslem you'd be out tarring all moslems with the same brush.

You can't go and say all white people are disgusting look at him so you have to narrow the target of your loathing.

Cop on to yourselves

All moslems are not terrorists like all white people don't pi$$ on dying women

If you can't see that you need to get out and meet some moslems

This is off the original topic, but the debate is heading this way anyway.
Can I propose less tolerance for all religious faith? It's ALL mindless, dangerous nonsense that devalues our existence, history, culture and holds back our development as a species. When are we going to rise up and do something about it?

As for the actual question. It's utterly brainless to wish someone dead because of a satirical cartoon, but it's equally brainless to tar people with the same brush because they happen to share some common beliefs.

I have a serious question to the poster of this question and all the others who think we're about to be subsumed into a Muslim superstate.

Have you got any Muslim mates?

I ask, because I have quite a few, and even though their religion has some pretty nasty things to say about homosexuality, but they're kinda like Christians - there's some pretty filthy rubbish in the Bible, but like Christians, my Muslim mates ignore it.

So two questions:

1. Do you know any Muslims?

2. Do you think all Muslims are the flag-burning hot heads that we see on telly.

If you answer:

1. Yes

2. No

then I think I know where you're going wrong.

[sp1814]

Dur - I mean,

If you answer:

1. No

2. Yes

then I think I know where you're going wrong.
