Denmark vs. ... The whole world...

[Pokey!]

Basically, some newspaper in Denmark drew pictures of Mahamed, and now Muslims are pretty pissed off. First they wanted an apology from the newspaper company, but now they're blaming the whole country, and actually want the artists killed. Plus, there was a riot in London yesterday, and things have gotten totally out of hand, what are your views? Here are mine;

personally think that Muslims have taken over England. Seriously, my street is full of them, and they're sort of doing mini-terrorist attacks on our own house - trying to basically 'kick us out'. For Gods sake its our country, at least respect those who have somewhat lived here longer than them (Ancestry).
Also, I think that they're totally overreacting saying that they want the artists hands to be cut-off, let alone excecuted. If they have free speech in Denmark then don't even bother, if its a right, its a right and it should be respected. They should be thankful for the country that allowed them to live there as immigrants - they're, we're saving them from their own country!
Okay, Religions, although I don't believe in a God, are a yes if you believe in all that stuff. But I think that some people are just using the Muslim faith to meerly frighten the General public. And I do somewhat blame the founder of the Muslim religion for all of that, as he became king of a city, and invaded another city that sold Statues of Gods (I think) to people - this is where they get the idea of violence of.
In addition, there was a Riot in London yesterday, and some people were dressed-up as scuicidal bombers - do they have any idea how much that could emotionally destroy those who lost people in the 7/11 bombings?

Sorry if I have ranted on, but I feel strongly on this.

I'm against your Religion idea. You can't blame the past for the terrorists attacks. Blame the present people for it.
And they are over reacting with the whole cartoon idea.
But I do not like your ideas with Muslims.

Um... no. He didn't become "king" of that city, nor did he "invade" the other city. So, that's not where they got the idea of violence. Besides, it's those specific people who are violent, and not the whole community.

First they wanted an apology from the newspaper company, but now they're blaming the whole country, and actually want the artists killed

That's a bit over the top, I have to agree.

Plus, I don't see why when a couple of Muslim terrorists do some kill, the whole community has to be shunned. It was "them" who commited the acts, not the whole community.

HE did.
OR some dude did.
I might be thinking of a differnt Religion, or i'm talking abotu the wrong guy.
But some guy definoutly did invade some place according to a religion thing.

[Peeki]

Well, firstly, what cities are/were you talking about? . And, yes, they did invade some countries. But, not under his rule. One of his companions took control over the army.

But, hey, every religion had its wars, and invasion, so I don't think that situation of where they "got they're violence" is applicable here...

[Pokey!]

The Muslims had a march on our streetyesterday when I was in school. ._.;
And as-of yesterday, I am a Muslims uncle, great. --;

[red530]

Who care if you're a Muslim uncle? Shut up and stop being a racist.

If you see a Muslim on the street, would you be afraid of them?

[Mr. Scrub]

Fuck you Pokey. You're just like all these racist American bastards.

personally think that Muslims have taken over England. Seriously, my street is full of them, and they're sort of doing mini-terrorist attacks on our own house - trying to basically 'kick us out'.

Now, I can't speak for the Muslims in your neighborhood, but can't you bring it up to athority or something instead of bitching about it? And I highly doubt Muslims are trying to take over your country. They're trying to make a better life for themselves, most likely.

Also, I think that they're totally overreacting saying that they want the artists hands to be cut-off, let alone excecuted. If they have free speech in Denmark then don't even bother, if its a right, its a right and it should be respected.

What exactly was put in this newspaper... it could have been something extremely stupid, or something very insulting.

But I think that some people are just using the Muslim faith to meerly frighten the General public.

You know nothing about terrorists, do you? They don't use religion to make people scared. THEY USE VIOLENCE. That's why they're called terrorists and not door-to-door pamphlet passers.

And I do somewhat blame the founder of the Muslim religion for all of that, as he became king of a city, and invaded another city that sold Statues of Gods (I think) to people - this is where they get the idea of violence of.

WTF are you on Pokey? First off, get your facts straight. You don't know jackshit about the Islam religion, it seems.

Stop stereotyping people and blaming whole groups when it's the individuals that are fucking up.

[Peeki]

And as-of yesterday, I am a Muslims uncle, great. --;

And the problem with that is...?

Stop stereotyping people and blaming whole groups when it's the individuals that are fucking up.

I second that.

Well, they drew a comic depicting the prophet of Islam as a terrorist.

[red530]

It had Mohammed in heaven telling the terrorists either, "Nope, no more virgins here." or "No, no virgins for you." *pretty sure it's the first one*
Since terrorists are given virgins when they complete a mission, *points to the quote(s)*.
So there your answer, Marina.

But yes, you're being racist, Pokey.

They're trying to make a better life for themselves, most likely.

Yeah, give them a rest, will ya? They just came from a place where bombs occur all the time.

You know nothing about terrorists, do you? They don't use religion to make people scared. THEY USE VIOLENCE. That's why they're called terrorists and not door-to-door pamphlet passers.

Yes, religion was not there to be used as a weapon but rather a belief. *duh*

And as-of yesterday, I am a Muslims uncle, great. --;

And you haven't answered our question, racist jerk, or rather, OUR question.
