dude, if you read through this WHOLE thread, you'll see that there have people that have changed the subject a NUMBER of times, why when I do it to make a point (even though it's related to the subject) you say it has nothing to do with it.
This thread is futile.
It just proves that you all would rather force your own ideology on people rather than learning to get along.
Agreed this is rather futile, passes the time though doesnt it
Oh and I do not, never have and never will force my ideology on anyone! Infact the only ideology I have is to be happy. People can do what the hell they like as long as they dont interfere with me.

two things, first READ UP ON THE NEWS.
Second of all, I thought free speech applied to everyone equally, therefor you CANT say because this or that.
free speach applies to those countrys that allow it so do your homework. if china doesnt allow freedom of speach that is a matter for its people and its goverment iots got bugger all to do with this discussion
in europe we do have freedom of speach which is relative to this thread since the country invovled has freddom of speach as did the journalist, freedom of speach isnt always senstive to everyones issues but thats the rub of the green with freedom of speech.
interms of you thinking people are trying to push an ideology onto you unfortunatly if you believe in freedom of speech then you ll stand up for peoples right to exercise it. in the same way you wont be moved in your belief that the cartoon is very offensive to muslims as this is your ideology
for which i have no problem with this view but you must also respect the fact that a large number of people really dont see it as an attack on islam rather just a bit of fun in the same way life of brian or dogma poke fun at christianity.

I think thats a little unfair. Religion, followed properly is supposed to be peaceful. Its people who cause hate, they just misuse the religion to their own ends. The ten commandments state quite simply 'thou shalt not kill' yet people have used the cloak of christianity to justify wars over the centuries.

I think we all agree that the cartoon was inappropriate, right?
Do we all agree that the barbaric protests are inappropriate too?

I'm a Muslim and I say that they did perhaps over-react.
I say that threats were uncalled for.
It just happened because they felt they were being called out or discriminated against.

ok guys
to summarise this long thread we all agree that the cartoon is wrong and the riots were also wrong
message to everyone: if your gonna follow a religion - please follow it peacefully without harming others
if we all stuck to that the world would be a better place

i d agree with this the cartoons were inappropriate and so was the barbaric protest. i d have had no problems if a group of muslims had gathered outside of the danish embassy saying that they were discussed by the cartoon in a peaceful way. i dont think anyone who have have minded this in fact i think alot of people who have had sympthy and a greater understanding of why the cartoon was inapproproate to muslims world wide.
sadly what the minority have done is segment relationships even further and probably stopped any sort of understanding or sympathy.
which is probably the greatest shame out of all of this
