Muslims march over cartoons of the Prophet

Post Reply New Topic

A strong faith does not whine. It does not bully. It does not seek special favors. It spreads enlightenment and peace, not ignorance and violence.

The fact that there are inflamatory cartoons is great. Islam leaders will call for outcry over the small and mediocre just to button their stance as a powerful leader (or teller). why would someone make a fuss about an opinionated cartoon? because the opinion differs from their own. no lions, no sheep, no pride, no fuss

Are there any links to the pictures?

This is how Lambeth Council integrate Muslims (or don't):

There is practically nothing in the Koran about Mohammed - he is hardly mentioned. There is no evidence that he was known to early Islam until 691 ad - 60 years after his death. Mohammed was "imposed" upon Islam early in the 8th century.

Islam without Mohammed would be a far better faith than it is.

Islam, as it is today, is based upon politically inspired machinations by "expansionists".

The Islamic literature outside the Koran is, to a great extent, the work of people who "gave lip-service" to the truth.

Mohammed is not a role-model that the world should tolerate ... unless one thinks that executing prisoners by the hundred because they refused to convert and taking 9 year old girls as wives is "holy".

I'm not a Christian - but did Jesus kill anybody? Did Buddha kill anybody?

One Islamic scholar I respect says that the mainstream Islamic religions' interpretation of the Koran is "Satanic".

The followers of Mohammed corrupted what was at its origins a sophisticated and benevolent movement.

The history of Islam, as it is generally understood, is a tissue of lies.

Conflict between Islam and the rest of the world is inevitable when the world's economy goes "on the blink" (which it might do soon if Bird Flu turns out to be as bad as some predict).

It's scary when a humorless bunch of people moves into the neighborhood and tells you how they want the neighborhood to run. It's scarier when they believe in the death penalty for "blasphemy" against their religious icons, and want to dictate to you how to talk about them.

I think Muslims of Islam need to grow-up ab-it. This is the Kingdom of Denmark a Constitutional Monarchy with a Parliamentary Democracy. Where people have curtain rights, they might not be what the Muslims would like to see portrayed but they are living there. Though all should respect each other though some times these things will come up in such a country.

I am Myself am getting tried when the Muslims get so up set about such things, but when they portray Us in some derogatory way they laugh and think they are smart.

So they shoul shut up ab-it I think. They are no better than We are.

I think you are all anti muslim racists who are repeating propaganda.

If you were talking about black people, we would need to put some KKK hoods on you.

Happeh, when a religion dictates that people behave in a dictatorial and paranoid manner, and dictates that the rest of us call it shinola, there is a problem that has nothing to do with any kind of bigotry, except perhaps from their side. Because they want to act like bigots, we should be called bigots if we think that is wrong and we don't want to obey their rules? Is Christianity the only religion whose members can be called bigoted? The Muslim world hasn't exactly been free of genocidal practices either.

Some of these old religious rules are things that we simply have to get over. They were wrong on the face of them when they demanded torture and death for minor offenses. Threatening people with death for producing depictions of the Prophet is criminal. We would call it criminal today if someone sold his daughter as a wife when she was 13 years old, but even Christian religious law still says that's legal. We also, thank the secular world, finally call it criminal to murder gay men, and that is part of Old Testament law.

Growing up means that we must abandon the teachings of madmen from four thousand years ago and drag ourselves kicking and screaming into a more modern age. I don't even know that Levitican law was useful back then except to keep people fearful that they would be murdered if they left the group of bandits that they were wandering around with. It's still the same deal. They still say that people will die if they leave the church, but they call it a "spiritual death." If that is the case, then why did I feel my spirit dying when I went to church?
