OT: Muhammed-caricatyres and freedom of speach

[Renegade 13]

Religions evolve over time, they change. Change is the one thing in life that is inevitable, besides death (Taxes can be worked around ). I don't know my Middle Eastern history that well, but in the past wasn't Islam an honorable, decent religion?

Well, perhaps in the past it was. Perhaps it still is, I don't really know. But like I said, things change. Perhaps Islam has changed from an honorable religion gradually to one accepting of violence against those who are not believers. Maybe I'm wrong. But take for example the evolution of mainstream Christianity. It to began as an honorable religion, promoting unity, harmony and selflessness. However, that changed, as all things do. The Crusades. The higher-up Cathlics doing everything in Latin which no one understood in the Middle Ages just to keep people in the dark. The collection of money from members of the religion. The Catholic Churches is immensely rich...comes from ripping off the church-goers for millenia.

Now I'm not attacking either Islam or Christianity. Well maybe I am being critical. But I think everything I've said is accurate to the best of my knowledge, so I hope nothing I've said is overly offensive.
