I feel kinda silly asking this since I haven't actually done this myself, but...

...has anyone actually spoken to a Muslim they know about the cartoons? Not having seen or heard of protests taking place in the US, I'd like to talk to someone who isn't holding a sign and marching. I mean, damn, they're cartoons.

The United States condemned the cartoons on Friday, siding with Muslims who are outraged that newspapers put press freedom over respect for religion.
Figures. Leave it to the US to state that the press needs to be silenced so that religious groups don't see something that might upset them.

A good mate of mine is a quite devout muslim with his head screwed on right, I'll be interested to see how he feels.

Kitsune - sorry, I didn't clearly differentiate the issues, the legislation should be struck down but while it is there it should be equally and fairly applied.

Oh, buh. My brain isn't firing on all three cylinders today. The pouring rain has me sleepy.

Seconded. Please report back to us! I only have a chance to chat with Muslims on campus while taking classes. I don't know any outside that environment and I'm taking anything this semester.

Why wasn't there a huge uproar over the South Park episode? Or a cartoon Mohammad being decapitated on a Spike TV show?

I have known quite a few followers of Islam in my life,(driving a taxi in SoCal) and 75% of them I would not turn my back on. As for the rest except for the way they treated their women they were decent people, my signed copy of The Satinic Verses was Given to me by Mohammed Cherazad, an Iranian I was working for. Farad "tony" Frozhish Told me that when dealing with muslims you need to be careful. They are offended by what we consider nothing. I think they need to grow up. There are no visible middle eastern muslims in beautiful La Crosse on the river, since 911.

When will Westerners get it through their heads that everything we do or don't do is offensive to Islam? Absolutely EVERYTHING! And double the fault if a woman happens to do it. You CANNOT please them or molify them. As far as they are concerned, you are only acceptable when you convert and are absorbed into the Borg :neutral:

Beestie 02-03-2006 08:24 PM

I'm sorry but people that easy to offend are just too easy to pass up. I say we turn it up a notch and see how far we can push them before all their heads explode.

Hey, maybe we can set up a posthumous Robert Mapplethorpe photography exhibit at the Guggenheim of mason jars half full of urine with a Quor'an peacefully soaking in each one. Then, we can send seruptitiously taken footage to al Jazeera and wait for the fireworks.

WooHoo! Who needs cow-tipping?!?!

:lol: :stickpoke :lol:

If they don't like it screwmm, people make fun of my beliefs all the time, and I laff at some of the cartoons and jokes. These mohammedens need to get real.

They're sorting through the countries to see which ones will cave in. France has, Briton has not, Spain has, The US has not, etc, etc.......

My contribution. I'll be buying Jarlsberg cheese (heard the muslims were going to stop buying that because Norwegians are so horrible) at the store tomorrow to show my support.

I still can't figure out why these nutters haven't been up in arms that all women aren't covered up from head to toe. Aren't we being blasphemous by not doing that? Or do they just need a reason to push their ideas onto others?
