Well I certainly don't think a cartoon should spawn the violence and now death we have seen, and think if people could just laugh at themselves more the world would be a much better place.

However, knowing that hard-line Muslims would be offended by these cartoons, I feel it was irresponsible to publish them as it was obvious to any sane person that it would cause the kind of riotiing we have seen.

it was for irrisponsible to publish these. But strange isnt it? Say for instance Life of Brian takes the piss out of jesus and christianity yet you dont see a bunch of christians starting a full scale riot and killing eachother. As much as you would see is them writing a strong letter to the times and standing outside video shops with placards singing songs of praise.


It has hit a raw nerve all the same

Jean-Luc Picards ?

I look like a llama.

A turkish muslim shot Pope John Paul II, yet we did not see the world's 1.3 billion Catholics go on a rampage and screaming for the destruction of Turkey, all muslims etc.

Also muslims destroyed the two giant statues of Buddha in Afghanistan just a few years ago, and just like the Roman Catholics the Buddhists also showed great restraint.

Muslims, including many of the so called moderate ones are so retarded. They lash out continually against Jews, Christians, Hindus etc. but if anyone dares to question their religion all hell breaks loose. These uneducated muslim morons need to understand that their opinions are not relevant to anyone who lives in a society that has advanced beyond the 12th century.

Although some of your words are stronger than I would personally use, I cannot but agree with your statements about how others' show restraint in the face of religious disregard, yet if Islam is treated with less than full respect there is no end of protests and violence.

I agree. Sand niggers can always be counted on to react inappropriately. Not like us Christians. We are peaceful people.

Well put it this way, MonkeyBoy, when the Life of Brian was released, no one got killed in the protests about it.

Since Christians have the bombs, they have the luxury of keeping their protests large and global.
