Re: OT: Muhammed-caricatyres and freedom of speach
 

Yes, and wasn't there also a crucifix suspended in Urine? I was more offended at the government grant that the guy got than the possible sacriligious image. I'm pretty thick skinned and have a real demented sense of humor. Once in a great while I will get offended. But I'm a big boy now and I can deal with it.
Maybe those muslims should go have a beer and eat some porkrinds, maybe go fly a kite or something. Too much religion not enough ethics!

Thank you, well said.

More often than not, Extremist and Fundamentalist Religious leader ethics boils down "Do as I say, not as I do."

One one the cartoons that was shown in the Arab countries showed the Prophet having intercourse with a pig, Atrocities. However, it was not published in the newspaper but got sorted out ahead. But it was one of the contestans for being published.

Re: OT: Muhammed-caricatyres and freedom of speach
 

OMG! Well thank God that they never published that one.

Re: OT: Muhammed-caricatyres and freedom of speach
 

Thing is, when a European Muslim organization went to the Middle East and drew attention to the whole thing, they included 3 cartoons in addition to those published in Europe. These 3 were NOT published anywhere, but were included, presumably to inflame those people in the middle East. Those 3 included: 1) The picture Baron described. 2) A picture of a Muslim bent over praying, and a dog...doing what they do. 3) I'm not sure what this one was, but it was similarly offensive.

As you can see, it's no surprise the Muslim world became inflamed.

Oh how I really want to go on the record here and rant but I made a promis. http://www.shrapnelcommunity.com/thr...undercloud.gif

No rant, just explain your position http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif I'd like to hear it.

Re: OT: Muhammed-caricatyres and freedom of speach
 

I think you mean "thank Allah".

BTW, I'd like to excercise my freedom of speech and publish my own caricature of Mohammed. Here it is:

(Note the beard). He's unhappy because of all the stupid phongwits running around killing people in his name.

Re: OT: Muhammed-caricatyres and freedom of speach
 

Remember that old joke about the three biggest lies in the world? Well I think it’s time to take a new survey and perhaps change the list.

Islam advertises itself as a religion of tolerance, but it does not appear that way to me. It looks more like a religion of intolerance and absolute control. But then I'm probably a little biased in my view, having a less than enthusiastic view of religion as a whole.
