OK. I think that I covered the "hatred"-part. And I haven't seen much danish full of hatred towards muslim world in any media. Where the hell you get the idea that those images are discriminative? Only people that alienate islam from western world are religious radicals all around the world, and sadly most mediatime is given to muslim radicals. Mutta jos ruvetaan sanoilla leikkimään niin mikä ettei. Pistä poika parastasi.
Oh screw the fucking protocol. What we have here is a case of a Danish newspaper posting a god damned carricature. Appropriate or not, they had the right to do so. Every 'civilized' individual knows how to take a carricature. Complain if you must, but avoid setting things on fire or calling for the destruction of your host nation in the process. If you fail to comply with these very simple rules, there's a 95 percent probability that you're a fucking ass hat and need 7.62 mm headache relief.
I'm not on either side since everyone has printed pretty tatsteless cartoons but the reason for the Muslim outrage is this: it is blasphemy in Islam to depict the Prophet Mohommad--even if he is drawn as the most handsome man in the world, giving him a human image is like making him a mortal--this is the best I can explain this. The most similar connection I can make would be a cartoon of Jesus molesting young boys or bombing children with the wrong skin color with dozens of bomb markings on the side of his F-15. There is a fine line between the 'right' to do something, and whether it is 'right' to do it.
Last Temptation was a great movie, except Harvey Keitel played Judas with a Brooklyn accent. Maybe that was the comic relief.
Yes, and it's called "moral". So what? I'd like to know who thinks he/she's is uber enough to decide the latter 'right' (Yes, I know that Roland and Fucketeer are waiwing hands now and Gandhi is hopping anxiously ) Problem begins when minorities will decide the moral for the majorities. I don't think that I would burn houses if someone will post a pic of child molesting Jesus. Well, maybe a swedish embassy, but just a little one...
[j/K mode VERY ON] lil brother syndrome still? Damn 1809 we lost U to russkies. Burn their embassy, ffs [/j/k mode] seriously, I dont think there is much to add that is on topic in this thread. So I give in to silliness
I think I'm clear on the concept, but let's make sure. I'll post a hypothetical & you say if it is in line: We all have the right to fuck glas' sister, but she is ugly, so it is not right to do it.
Nope. Wrong. It's right to use the right to fuck the ugly sisters. But only with lots of alcohol. And a way to escape in the morning.
As I have said before, I whole-heartedly support Jyllands-Posten, but this does not change the fact that the newspaper would be found guilty under the CoE hate crime protocol. Freedom of speech is being needlessly curtailed in Europe. -Just last month, British historian David Irving was sentenced to three years in prison for denying the Holocaust. -The CoE protocol criminalizes discriminatory materials, even insults - this website is illegal. These anti-racism, anti-hate laws of Europe are products of the "Age of Equarius" manifesto referenced here by frog. This is the school of thought which emphasizes the importance of "political correctness" and "tolerance." Frog would be the "Democrat" in this situation. He is all about "dialogue," as opposed to confrontation. He would rather "learn to understand" the grievances of the Muslims than issue an ultimatum of citizenship. I advocate a "tough" policy for those immigrants who seek to destroy my country, yet retreat all too quickly to the protection of its judicial system. I think I many Europeans actually agree with me on this. One can not be a citizen without demonstrating citizenship. This is not a message of "tolerance," however. If only the advocates of tolerance would keep their ideas to themselves...
Tolerance is to bear something someone else finds reasonable. Age of aquarius. Hmm. Never thought about this topic in that light [what topic?]. So, is kinda touchy feely? Like today's Army? We won't ask if you are a fag. You won't tell if you are a fag. We will get along fine that way. We are a modern organization. These are modern times. It's okay, how you fuck is your own business. Here is your gun. Here are some bombs. Here is a jet fighter. This is your target. Go blow the shit out of those fuckin ragheads. No no no, I already told you, we, in today's army ar tolerant and aquarian. It's okay to be gay. Go blow that target up, now, soldier! Those are your orders. After your mission you can come back to the barracks and fuck anything you want. Remove those ear rings before battle, sonny, okay?
