Re: Mohamed cartoons.
 

I hope any jews among us are suitably offended by this remark from BrainLess.

Re: Mohamed cartoons.
 

I couldn’t agree with your more Less – we should and do get on with our neighbours whatever their creed.

But if were to become a guest in your house to stay how would you feel if I slowly started to take over everything until such times that you felt your own house wasn’t yours any more? I’m sure that you would show me the door pretty damn quick before we reached that point. I would in your place.

BTW the Chinese are not Muslims and in any case they integrated into our society quite well.

In 20 years time, when the works canteen or coffee bars and restaurants were not allowed to serve meals during the day during Ramadan and all pubs had been closed and your weekend was changed from Sat and Sun to Fri and Sat, you might begin to wonder how it all happened. By then it will be too late.

Re: Mohamed cartoons.
 

I know the Chinese are not muslims, but if you want the streets running with blood I don't see why you should ignore them, their blood is just as red as everyone elses. The advantage of brainless violence is you can always attack the weak and innocent as well as your main target.

Re: Mohamed cartoons.
 

Nobody wants the streets to run with blood, anybody's. But, I personally want to be able to wear a T-shirt with any image I choose on the front (with some obvious taboo's), I want to wear a crucifix if I so choose, I want to fly my country's flag. All of which, in one way or another have been banned in area's of this Christian land. Even Christmas is at risk!

Re: Mohamed cartoons.
 

What taboos?

Surely if we are to have free speech, and show scant regard to anyones beliefs, there should be nothing that can't be seen?

Re: Mohamed cartoons.
 

There are some images that could not be shown, under common bloody decency.

Scant regard to peoples beliefs? That applies to us also.

Re: Mohamed cartoons.
 

I find it amazing that so many of you think free speech exists. Are you really all that gullible..

Never in the history of mankind has freedom of speech existed.

Can any one of you tell me when freedom of speech has been available.. lets narrow it down to just this country shall we..

Re: Mohamed cartoons.
 

It doesn't, that's what I was getting at, though of course America thinks it has.

I remember reading someone was arrested at the seaside for wearing a t-shirt on the beach with the slogan 'f**k off' on, when they refused to take it off, when people with children had complained.

Re: Mohamed cartoons.
 

Aye - and when there's a catastrophy in their lands - who's first to help ??? not their own Islamic bretheren, no, the West that they hate so much - I might have to think carefully next time theres an earthquake or tsunami maybe I'll donate to a good old Christian charity who works in the UK only

And as for them saying the press should not be allowed to print them, what about their favourite TV station Al Jazeera - they take great delight in showing the beheading of innocent westeners they've kidnapped, !! aye and repeating it night after night !! don't hear British muslims demonstrating against that !!!

And the protests - placards - "death to all non-muslims " - Jeez, what would have happened if some National Front members had carried placards like that - yeah they would have been arrested immediately !!

But its one law for them and another law for others

And no I'm not racist or bigoted - I get on with all who respect each other - and thats the key !! - they want us to respect their culture and beliefs yet they do not respect our culture and beliefs

Re: Mohamed cartoons.
 

Double standards all the way. It was those placards and the like that make me say, lets all wear the t-shirts!

Re: Mohamed cartoons.
 

The double standard is they need the openess of our media to project their opinion.

Re: Mohamed cartoons.
 

I think think that the really tragic thing in all this is the fact that, so far, 43 people have lost their lives because of these protests. If this sobering fact does not illustrate the evil of organised religion then I don't know what does.

I can understand exactly why Roy will not allow the cartoons to be published on this website and, reluctantly, I have to agree that his descision is the only responsible one to take. But I also think that it is truly shocking that we must now walk in fear and dread of these medieval and wilfully obscurantist fanatics. And worse still, that the government is prepared to bend so far backwards to accomodate their every whim.

Integration is all very well, but it is, properly, a process undertaken by the immigrant, not the host.

Re: Mohamed cartoons.
 

Hear, hear! Oh and hear, hear!!

Re: Mohamed cartoons.
 

AB is back and nailed the issue on the napper. The host seems to be bending over backwards and wont be long before they hit the deck.

Re: Mohamed cartoons.
 

These cartoon were published in a provincial Danish Newspaper almost two years ago......and who do you think brought them back to the media attention?? Well, they were muslims.....now doesn't that seem a bit like muck stirring? If someone has already pointed this out.....I'm sorry....I haven't trawled through all of the posts.

Re: Mohamed cartoons.
 

Quite right Margaret. The original dozen cartoons were also suplemented by a couple of more sexually explicit ones and then hawked around middle eastern news papers and mosques. Our Muslim bretheren do not seem to be able to see when they and their religious sensibilities are being used for an agenda that has nothing whatever to do with piety and everything to do with fostering anti-western hatred.

Just Found This T-shirt Anybody Wanna Link ? :d

Re: Mohamed cartoons.
 

I love your avatar!

Re: Mohamed cartoons.
 

i like yours its kinda hypnotic :o

Re: Mohamed cartoons.
 

Re: Mohamed cartoons.
 

The cartoons could certainly be deemed offensive, but any depection of Mohamed, in Islamic tradition, is not supposedly acceptable.


One can only confer that Muslim extremists are using this in their fight against the West, mainly because so little protest was heard when last year an Indian produced a picture of the prophet Mohamed, as I mentioned and linked in one of my earlier posts.
