Muslims meet over cartoons

bravo! a very intelligent observation, specially considerin your age. people don't realise the bigger picture and unfortunately when we lose sight of it, we fail ourselves/humanity which is really more important than our personal agenda/pride

 

i can't force someone to be respectful. we can't force the opinion of the majority on the individual. outside of physical violence, there's nothing really wrong with it. a nonbeliever has no need to respect the icon of another people, as is demostrated again and again the world over. it is a basic human right to express yourself and voice your opinion, no matter how stupid it might be.

 

you didnt really get my point there, anyway

 

i wasn't actually responding to your post, just opining, again.

 

guys stop fighting. you know what happens when you guys fight. it adds pounds on to my thighs.

really

it does

 

ouch, that's a harsh toll...who'd you piss off in a past life?

 

EXACTLY.

This kinda reminds me of trolls on the internet, where the first rule is, to not FEED them. The Israelis got all upset when the cartoons about Concentration Camps and Ann Frank with Hitler were being published, when what they should have done was to say, "Let's be the better ones, and IGNORE this crap." Just like the people who are getting so upset about a freaking cartoon about Mohammed should have done in the first place.

You are right about the age of the religion, KC. It seems like many religions go nuts at about 1,500 after their start. Look at the Jews in the OT, the Inquisition ect, and now Islam is about 1500 years old. Really, maybe people need to develop a sense of humor or just IGNORE it. Did it hurt anyone? Did it harm their beleif system? If someone wants to get upset, that is their right, but to be killing people and burning embassies, it's silly.

 

firebomb the KFC and destroy the businesses run by anyone not muslim: south korean train depot? burn it! assholes abound on both sides, we're all human, we're all pricks sometime.

Muslims march in cartoons protest

Organisers said thousands were expected at the march

Muslim protesters are marching in London in protest against cartoons satirising the Prophet Muhammad. Police said 10,000 people had gathered in Trafalgar Square before marching to Hyde Park. No arrests had been made. The march is being led by the Muslim Action Committee - an umbrella body for mosques and community groups.




The Muslim Council of Britain along with the Muslim Association of Britain and a number of Christian groups, peace organisations and the Mayor of London helped organise that protest. The event was intended to highlight the opinions of moderate Muslims after demonstrators earlier this month carried placards threatening violence through the capital
