Re: Mohamed cartoons.

Baz I really think you should remove the picture. Anyone who wants to see it can find it easily enough themselves. I didn't start this thread to make more trouble, and I'm sure Roy wouldn't either.

Re: Mohamed cartoons.

Muslims will find the cartoons offensive, just as Catholics would find women in porn films dressed as nuns would, etc.


My biggest fear in this whole saga is that the protests have been hijacked by a very visible minority of Muslim extremists. I defend their right to protest peacefully, just as I defend the newspapers that published the cartoons the right to print what they want, so long as it's legal.

Re: Mohamed cartoons.

I'm afraid I have had to remove the cartoons. I'm not pretending to understand why they are found offensive but after seeing how a minority of Muslim's reacted to them I do not want myself or anyone else on Accyweb put in any position of danger.

Re: Mohamed cartoons.

I've seen them, I really think, well, they are just cartoons. I would have paid then scant attention ordinarily.

Re: Mohamed cartoons.

Knowing that something offends someone it puzzles me why anyone should want to do so.

I know what you mean about trying to make people understand that the actions of a minority do not speak for the majority. Unfortunately there will always be narrow minded people who can't understand something as simple as that.

Re: Mohamed cartoons.

If a lack of understanding by all parties of these cartoons plays into the hands of a minority of "deep believers" than what will happen when someone really goes over the scoreand pushes too far? Expression is a freedom we cherish but if it is pushed beyond reasonable and decent levels then we have to accept the fall out. In this day and age people should have a basic understanding of others religions and beliefs and that encompasses ALL BELIEFS then that way there is less chance of a repeat of what happened. The gentlemen who dressed as a bomber is back behind bars through his actions and if he and others could understand what anxiety it caused to some he might not have gone ahead with it. Have a peaceful protest to let views be known but dont push it to the point of rioting which this mess could have lead to.

Isn't that why its time for the majority to stand up and say enough our relgion and way of life has been hijacked by this minority, or is the real reason that they truely belive all the propaganda that these militants spew forth, the largest relgion in the world can't control a few thousand protesters?

Re: Mohamed cartoons.

When politics is overshadowed by religion of any kind then we are on the way to the distruction of our way of life. Religion has had a hand in most war in one way or another and regardless of who wins we are all losers in the long run.

Re: Mohamed cartoons.

It looks like this is the thin end of the wedge. If consecions are made to the islamic relegion regarding this matter then we start the transition of GB into a muslim state.

The law which forbids the showing of mohamed in print is one that applies to muslims not us. I was not aware of this law prior to this fiasco and frankly am not interested in finding out about islam ( or any other religion for that matter )

The extremists have shown that they are not civilised and should be arrested and deported if possible ASAP. Sod the human rights charter ( something which makes barresters rich at taxpayers expense and us locals out to be a bunch of idiots.)

While politicions refuse to listen to the people and pander to PC we are headed for right wing politics. That will be when the **** hits the fan.

Angry Re: Mohamed cartoons.

I am not a Muslim so I am under no obligation to obey their religious laws in my own environment. The UK may not be an entirely Christian country but it is certainly not a Muslim country and thus Islam must take second place.

If I wish to draw a picture of their profit then I am free to do so. If I publish it and a Muslim is offended by it then it is too bad. He shouldn’t be looking. If I nailed it to the front door of a mosque or posted it through the letterbox of a Muslim then they would have a case. But the cartoons were published in a non Muslim newspaper so if they see it then it’s too bad.

The excrement has already hit the fan In_Fed_Del and the extremists will not let go of this opportunity to further their cause and try to frighten us into bowing down to them.

The only way that a line could be drawn under this affair is if the Muslim religious leaders reigned in the thugs and forced them to stop. That action is strangely lacking in the strength that is needed to make it happen.

Re: Mohamed cartoons.

The cartoons should be published throughout the world, along with a few Christian/Jewish etc. ones, just to show a point.

The extremists would still rant and rave as they are so blinkered tunnel vision has a wider view.
