The violence is out of hand. Look, there been plenty of Jesus cartoons and no large group decided to kill everything in sight. I've seen Priest and Catholics made fun of in cartoons, even the pope and no mass murders. Geesh, either they don't know, don't show or just don't care that violence is not always the answer to everything.

 

They are obviouslt violent people and that is wrong but let me play devil's advocate and say what about the Christian religion of the Colonial period the explores of the 1500 and 1600s with a Bible in one hand and a sword in another. I am not saying by any means that they are right cause i don't think they are buy any means but hasn't at least a majority of religion's caused problems and it been over small things?

 

Christianity has gone through many reformations since the days of the crusades and later Spanish conquests of the west. Lets hope the Muslims pursue a reformation denouncing violence.

 

No Kidding.

 

What is your point, mbz?

Are you saying it's okay today to murder innocent people and destroy other's property if you're religious because religious people did it 500 or 600 years ago?

Would you let murderers go unpunished today because there were murderers 500 or 600 years ago?

 

Lugnut - That is not my point at all.


I am saying that when using a religion or "higher power" to back up what ur doing causes more problems than just doing it cause it drawls in more than just the people commiting the acts.

NO! I am getting fed up with them to the point that someone might just have to say the hell with it and "carpet" bomb the place its getting out of hand.

 

i live in saudi arabia for 4 years.

as far as i understand, mohammed and jesus christ is the same person (now don't debate on that, i know it can't be). where was jesus for 30 years when there was no record of his activities? could it be that he is mohammed too?

so the christian should be outraged too because of this cartoons.

 

I am an athiest so i could care less. My belief you die ur dead. End of story.

 

The same ideologically, but they were born about 550 years apart.

 

anyway, i admire the russians for having a much acceptance on the term "freedom of expression".

Denmark has nothing to do with it since it's just an individual artist's idea. Danish people are innocent with it. i don't understand why boycott their products and burn their embassy.

when osama bin laden destroy the WTC, does it mean that his country and his countrymen are bad??? no!
