good fucking god. if you are that insecure with people talking shit about your religion, you should go blow yourself up.

oh, wait...

6/4/2008 3:26:54 PM

They've got a point. There is no reason to disrespect another religion especially at a time like now. Whats the benefit to drawing cartoons that mock someone that believes in something different than you? All they will manage to do is cause more disturbances and outrage.

6/4/2008 3:30:20 PM

well if they want to be fair about, I guess the Israeli Attorney General's office is going to have to subpoena the entire country of Iran

freedom of speech should be protected, as should human lives. Its a thin line between hate speech, making a point, and offending an entire religion.

Jeez.

I'm all for political correctness and whatnot, and yeah it wasn't in the best taste for those Danish dudes to make a mockery of their religion, but who do these guys think they are? Yeah it may be against the law in Jordan, but obviously the Danish guys weren't in Jordan. You don't see Saudi Arabia throwing around crap like this because women in other countries aren't covered from head to toe when they go outside.

Its the reaction to the free speech which is actually threatening world peace. You are too busy calling people human garbage to realize you are the only one taking the irrational side of the argument.

Regardless of who's feelings were hurt, calling for legal action across international borders for a FUCKING CARTOON is outrageous and ridiculous. It would be one thing if the same authors were making slanderous comments about Jordan's governmental officials. Something like that would have political ramifications that could be detrimental to Jordan's acceptance in the global theater. However, making a cartoon crudely depicting a religious figure is harmless to every legitimate (by this I mean widely accepted as a true following, not a cult) religion, save Islam.

I have nothing against Islam as a religion, btw.

Bottom line is that Jordan bitching about this does nothing but hurt Islam on the whole, because it makes it look as if the followers of Islam include a bunch of whining pussies.

just because you have Free Speech doesn't give you the rite to alienate an entire group of people just because they are different than you. Sounds like we are going backwards in time instead of forwards. Pretty soon we'll have 'whites only' signs every where.


so is it ok for the News and Observer to publish a racist cartoon about blacks? sounds to me like you are saying yes.

I am all for unity. But for one I know it doesn't begin by degrading others. All for your assumption that 'we all hate the rest of the world' you are again flat wrong. I carry a lot of personal respect of Islamic culture and have a number of Muslim friends. While I sympathize with their frustration of the Danish Cartoon fiasco, I remain firm that freedom of speech shouldn't be constricted due to certain (Islam) religions.

you implied legal action when you said that they have a point because that is the subject of the article

6/4/2008 4:01:39 PM

I get very mildly offended when I see anti-christian symbols. Yet nothing of this nature warrants taking human lives through suicide bombings or the like. State religion in Jordan and other Islamic countries rule that depicting the prophet is illegal. But these cartoonists don't live in said countries.
So what is your point?

actually...no. you assumed I meant legal action. The point of the story is that insulting cartoons were drawn and published.

because these drawings are unnecessary and insulting to a large group of people.
