Not at the moment, but I'm sure someone will post something to comment on presently.



Extremists and why there still allowed to flourish within all religions and why religions do very little to rid them?

@batesie: We're still discussing it even though it's somewhat stale.

What about it? He has a right to free speech (just as you have a right to demonstrate); his motivation is irrelevant.



So you think the Muslim world are idiots for protesting against "just" a cartoon?

i dont think there idots for protesting against the cartoon, i think the idots are the ones who burn building down and are calling for the death of danish people, also i think people who use terms like play with fire your gonna get burnt are idiots.
i wonder how these people who are burning building would feel if some far right people tried to burn the mosque down they were in performing salat as they took offence and felt insulted by the actions of burning buildings and calling for danish people to be killed?

Slattery I think the countries where the protests got out of hand was the more politically instable countries...
I think there they seem to be under a government that they not favourable of and their anger came out with more of just the cartoons in mind...

I don't know if any of you caught This Week on BBC 1 last night (after Question Time), but there was a Muslim girl on it who was bang on about the cartoon situation. Her psoition was basically that the cartoon situation has been hijacked by extremists and hate mongers and that such people should go live somewhere else if they hated the UK so much and leave the vast majority of peaceful British Muslims to live their lives in peace. She also had quite a bit to say on the relative inaction of the Muslim majority in Britain and she called for them to stand up and show that they did not approve of extremism in a more proactive manner.

As if she hadn't spoken enough sense she continued by saying that the London protests were unbelievable because the police did nothing at the time and she compared the protest to a BNP protest and observed that if it had been the BNP protesting and shouting hate filled slogans the police would have waded in and carted them off. She asked the question as to why Islamic extremists were apparently being treated as a special case.

She also informed the viewers that there is to be a protest in London this weekend by Muslims against the hate filled protestors we saw marching through London earlier in the week. Bravo I say! It is about time too; perhaps at last the Muslim majority will stand up and take Islam back from the extremists who have coloured it with hate and violence.

I liked this girl very much, for two main reasons. First of all she spoke sense, something that seems to be as rare as hen's teeth these days. Secondly she was not cowed by the PC brigade and she spoke her mind and said what had to be said without fear of being labelled or tarred.
