We know that when you are threatened your family don't give a dam.

Over the last years i saw (funny and good) cartoons about USA/Bush, but i couldn't see such riots in the USA.

Fire said:to me this whole discussion is too theoretical
so true, so trueSnuggs said:the point is
religion is just shit
religion that want to "rule" all peeps is just utter shit
and islam is the biggest shit of everything
that´s my opinion
Thrasher (_!_) said:But you're not, and so you, me and everyone else in this thread can have no idea how these people feel. You keep saying how YOU would have responded. It's not YOU, it's THEM.
I agree with Snuggs in principal that religions generally suck. I don't understand the concept of believing in something that is so completely unbelievable. BUT that does not mean I ridicule those who find comfort/strength in religion. I respect the right for a person to believe what he/she wants no matter how bizzare it may appear to me.
Useless said:If making cartoons of the prophet is such a crime, as the muslims clearly feel it is, then why stop there? Why isn't worshipping Buddha an even worse crime? Why aren't the muslisms rioting about the existence of Christians all over the world? These religions aren't exactly respectful of the Islam faith either, are they? To believe in one God or higher power is to deny the existence of all others, but one little cartoon is worse than that? At least the cartoon didn't deny the prophet's authenticity.

Welcome to Islam my friend.HUEY said:I just got back from the Maldives...nice place, and it's a Muslim country. IT'S ILLEGAL TO IMPORT STATUES OF BUDDHA THERE !!!!!...How hypocritical is that??? Can you imagine the shit that would hit the fan if European countries banned the importing of a Koran or summit similar??
