[QUOTE]Originally posted by hibbah: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by The Conditioned: [qb] [QUOTE] I think its absolute crap that Muslims are supposed to accept insult and after insult to the thing we hold most dear. [/QUOTE]Nobody is saying you have to accept it. Justdon't torch, blow up, kill, murder and destroy stuff to show your dismay is all I'm saying. The last round of senseless rioting had consequences, and if there's another round, there'll be even more consequences. I honestly don't think Muslims understand that all of this mindless violence really does portray them in a terrible light, and turns the rest of the World increasingly against them. [QUOTE] If Europe has lost its respect for religion, thats not our problem. [/QUOTE]If Muslims want to live in Europe, they must abide by European laws...period! And respect for "religion" is certainly not a virtue that it should be missed. [QUOTE]If Europe is offended by the idea of Muslims questioning the holocaust, they should understand that Muslims in turn will feel offended about other issues.[/QUOTE]When Europeans bomb, murder, loot, destroy and burn when they're offended, perhaps this sentence will become valid. ~Alistair [/qb][/QUOTE]Thanks for demonstrating my point. You lack the values Muslims have, AND you lack the ability to recognize the fact that the world does not revolve around you or your values. I dont care if you don't care about religion, but if such a large population of the world does, it is something you should respect out of respect for them. This is an international system. And who said anything about european Muslims? Find me something Europeans actually *CARE* about and they're willing to get up and rant about. How about the G8 summit? I'm pretty sure there are hundreds of thousands of demonstrators screaming, insulting, holding up questionable signs, charging the police, causing trouble, etc. :) Europeans DO raise hell, I'm sorry if fox news has flashed too many images of Muslims from the middle east for you to have forgotten this :) Even if the only thing they care about is their own economies. Do you know what happened to a McDonalds that was built in the French Country side a little while ago? A White, Christian farmer took a bulldozer and drove into the McDonalds, and broke it down. And he was a hero to the French people. *I'm not suggesting that Europeans actions are comparable to those that some Muslims have, but most Europeans have been sedated by being citizens of developed nations. I'd like to see how you'd come out if you lived in a country where everyones poor, you're surrounded by corruption, and your politicans and the world dont give a crap about what you say. How about Latin America, and how they react to U.S. policies? Remember Bush's last trip to the region? And thats just one example of many from Latin America.You can't compare the actions of the British when they're faced with an obstacle to those of people living in the third world. That being said, ofcourse I agree that people should protest peacefully, and to MY KNOWLEDGE, you've jumped the gun. As soon as the next British embassy gets bombed because of this, you let me know. :) [QUOTE] When Europeans bomb, murder, loot, destroy and burn when they're offended, perhaps this sentence will become valid. ~Alistair [/QUOTE]So are you suggested the Europeans shouldn't care about being hyprocrites when it comes to freedom of speech, thats what you're saying? And NO, I'm not supporting the banning of books. My point was, SayWhatYouSee, some posters on here seem to be painting the issue of books being banned a "backward, muslims world" issue. When its clearly not. :) Those enlightened, liberal,democratic Europeans seem to be doing the same thing. And Mein Kampf isnt the only example :) [/QB][/QUOTE]
