"Suicide bomber" in the Muslim protest against the cartoons

Can someone explain to me how a true Muslim can be a drug dealer?

Talk about hypocrisy.

Sorry to bring this up, but this thing really gets my goat. I suspect this guy also eats pork and drinks beer.

As to the cartoons, I can fully understand why the Muslim community are up in arms about them, but in the Western world they must understand that freedom of speech exists, and within that freedom of speech some things you don't want to see or hear WILL appear from time to time.

I don't think there was full scale demonstrations when "Life of Brian", say, came out. Correct me if I'm wrong...

 

Life of Brian was banned by many councils at the time, I believe it was banned for 8 years in Ireland and there was some prtests.

But, AFAIK no one burnt down the Python institute or wanted to behead them.
It is rather ironic that they protest against cartoons depicting them as violent by setting fire to embassies and threatening violence.

Blessed are the cheesemakers!

 

you're making the mistake of operating in the realm of logic - this is religion we are talking about. faith and rationalism don't mix.

I lived in Algeria for a year - I knew plenty of people who drank alcohol, broke Ramadan and screwed around but were then quite happy to go into anti Western, anti semitic fundamentalist rants without any peception that they had double standards. Not that this is unique to Islam - plenty of Christian hypocrites around and always have been.

 

you can't brand everyone a hypocrite just because one person is.
'Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.....'

Any takers?

 

I am a cheesemaker!

 

leave aside the cheese and follow the gourd!

 

The Sufi in Bolton, the Wahhabi in Waziristan, the Alawi in Damascus, the Druze in Beirut, the Sunni in Mecca and the Shi’i in Qom are all Muslims. A mixed bunch you would agree, so who are the bad guys?

 

All of them, and everyone else too, most definitely including us. We're all human, which makes us inherently horrible.

Go on, tell me I'm wrong. D )

 

This simple irony seems to be beyond most radical Muslims. They make the cartoon seem to present a fair picture.

 

Equally if there is a right to free speech re: the cartoons, they there should be no problem with celebrating the bombing of London.

 

The ones with the bombs and guns and murderous intent.... the Americans.

 

You'd be happy with random shouts of 'fire' in crowded theatres?

Oil on troubled waters, water on an oil fire or British Law in action?

Abu Hamza jailed for seven years

I expect each option has it's own vocal supporters rather like the guests on News Night last night.

 

Eh?

 

The bounds on 'free speech' are pretty well defined. A cartoon of Mohammed is fine, encouraging suicide bombing isn't.

Where are they well defined?

It appears a cartoon depicting Muhammad is not fine if you are a Muslim, so your comment does not universally apply regards that, it's just your perspective.

 

I found these cartoons MOre shocking myself.....
