That picture is supposed to be offensive?

Wait, Kate Middleton is off limits but Islam is fair game ? :?

And you don't think killing someone for this is taking it a bit too far? horgen123

France and America didn't make fun of anything. Citizens of those countries did.

I get what you're saying, even though I'm disturbed that you seem to think France and America should be held accountable for the harmless actions of their citizenry.

I'm tired hearing about al of these over sensitive muslims exploding over something as stupid as a cartoon. The people who created the cartoon, burned the quran and made jokes about allah all have the right to do so, its called "free speech". If the muslims have a problem with that then they can go back to their own backwards country instead of wanting everyone to bend around their rules.

Long story short, dont poke the bear and complain when it goes mental.

And it burns, burns, burns.

Good on them, the west needs to illustrate that there are certain things that will not be bent or broken if some one gets upset about it.. One of them is freedom of speech... If extremist muslims disagree they are free to spew their own speech and have done so constantly and in great number.. Especially within Europe.. The hammer needs to be dropped on any of these jackasses that get violent about this.. They are not only a enemy of the state, but are hypocrites because these are the same people who protest violent and disgusting messages themselves..

On one hand, I think people in general need to take in to account cause and effect. This cartoon could cause some people to become violent. People should always be considering what the consequences of their actions are. On the other hand, we can't resort to going in to a blame-the-victim mentality. Someone has all the right in the world to make a cartoon like this, and if people react violently to it, that is them wronging and victimizing other people and not the other way around.

dont be obtuse, it is well known that creating an image of the Muslim prophet is extremely frowned upon as shown the last the time it was done. Cage rattling just doesnt seem clever.

The fact that so many people are saying "don't poke the bear" when it comes to this kind of stuff is exactly what's wrong with it. Nobody should have to hold back their thoughts about any religion.

Regardless of the intent of the cartoonist, at some point we have to ask the question are we going to allow a bunch of primitive people in any other country hold our language hostage and allow them to dictate what we can do and say? I think not.guynamedbilly

[QUOTE="Capitan_Kid"]I always feel iffy about this stuff. On one hand, freedom of speech. On the other hand I wouldnt like seeing someone I revered as a hero slandered in the paper like that. Instead of killing, the offended should take it to court.toast_burner

[QUOTE="Omni-Slash"] No...One is ILLEGAL....the other is not..the Illegal aspect is a bunch of idiots thinking it gives them the right to kill people over it....you can't placate stupidity....nor should you waste time trying....if people really think this is over a comic a video that 99% of those protesting never saw...they are sadly mistaken....including our ridiculous administration...Pirate700

I dont recall condoning violence, there is an inevitable chain of causality here.

Theyre doing this to be offensive not criticising. Theyres a fine line between it and those fvcktards wanna break itCapitan_Kid

No. Thats just being an a$shole for the sake of being an a$sholeCapitan_Kid

[QUOTE="Sajo7"][QUOTE="Pirate700"]It's a cartoon. You can't live life walking on egg shells because you may piss off a group of hyper sensitive nutjobs. Society shouldn't have to live in such fear that you can't make a cartoon in fear of violence.Pirate700

SILENCE! I keel you!

Compare the response to the innocence of muslims video and the cartoons of the prophet Muhammed with the response to the Jerry Springer musical which was supposedly blasphemous to Christians. For the former, people were actually murdered whilst the latter provoked a few pensioners to picket outside theatres across the UK

It needs to be done. And often. Only way the violence will lessen. No one can rage forever....LJS9502_basic

Well, every one of these provocations causes more violence. What could potentially reduce violence is if the Pakistani media does some kind of call to the population telling them to stop cartoon-related violence by telling them how pointless it is and all that. But you don't need to publish an offensive cartoon every day to do that. The first cartoon was more than enough to bring up this debate in those countries, no need to try to ridicule the Muslims every day. It's not easy to change people's opinion. The most radical will never be convinced by anything anyway, so constant provocation looks like a stupid idea to me.

D'aaaaw thats really cute:oops:

I didnt know I had supporters, anywhoooo, I guess I am wasting my time here being anti-religion is uber cool with the OT crowd, have fun with it, when the inevitable fallout happens you turn around and blame those backwards islams for not taking a mockery of their highest beliefs with good humour, we all know if the Muslim world is known for anything its their sense of humour.
