If i post a funny cartoon of Mohamed would you....

reply to post by KentuckyMan


You are right,even here they all pander to the Muslim extremists.If pictures of their ' prophet' are offensive then why are they not offended at pictures of Jesus who according to the Muslim is also a prophet?
As for some of the replies to the op just because his user name has Kentucky in it,you lot are the bigots.
I'm with you op.

Pandering to Islam? Really?

Perhaps the ties to Kentucky deals with the stereotype of certain southerners being intolerant. In that case you just proved and endorsed a stereotype.

The question asked by OP versus the question that he wanted to ask are two different questions. Yet HE (Kentucky Man so I assume he is male) is attempting to paint anyone who feels a certain way about ANY religious figure being the butt of a joke with one brush.

Nope.

I'am not a Muslim I have just learnt a bit about Islam, I suggest you do the same.
I live near bradford which has a huge Muslim populace and I see honest hard working people every day.
Funny you call people bigots when you call Muslims extremists.

If it was my Forum and allowed the Jesus posting as you stated Id let you post it.
Hope that is the same standard ATS staff would follow.
As far as offending the religious nuts I don't care either way.
Honestly I found that movie thing pretty funny myself.

Only an extremist would threaten to kill and riot over a cartoon.I never called all Muslims extremists.
Back to my original post.....who are the bigots here?

Do you have your answer yet? I think it has been explained that a picture of Mohammed is offensive, so are insults to other religious figures. Presbyterians' extreme reaction to an insult to Jesus is to fling green bean casserole all over. Muslim's extreme reaction is to fling little bits of you all over. We are not willing to pay that price just to prove a point. We will admit to having free speech as long as we don't use it in some areas.

What more were you needing to know?

reply to post by boymonkey74


Forgot to add- no thank you I have learned enough about Islam already and find it more like a cult than a religion.I have no wish to learn any more about their barbaric,backwards culture.

I disagree that this is a matter of free speech.

If I think insert religious leader is fill in the blank then I am free to say that. And I would. However, I don't need a cartoon or an insulting tone to relay to you or anyone else how I feel. IMO cartoons are hiding. They are being used by people who will not say what they want to say. This is the end of the FOS argument. Why not say what you feel?

In the end your freedom of speech is only as free as you infringing on my rights as a US citizen.

It is so true. The muzzies have the media in their pocket, they are trying to destroy Israel with their propaganda bull# about Palestine.

Look into it. Don't believe the propaganda on the internet about Israel, they get it as bad as everyone else, sure they have their Illuminati puppets running things but all countries do. It is all propaganda what you hear about them. Look into it. a good page to start. www.facebook.com...

Also a good video.

They also seem to have most of the members here in their pockets too.I have spoken to numerous Brits on here about the problems Muslims bring to Britain,all have the same stories from the bottom of England to the top of Scotland yet the PC brigade are still in denial.
Or could it be there are no Muslims in their nice leafy hamlets?

I find it quite worrying , that the wife works for a Muslim doctor but is not allowed to look or touch him. Who does he think he is? He is living in the USA and women deserve respect there...and everywhere.

OMG dude you couldn't get a more Muslim place to live as where I do, I have a mosque 5 mins away and Iam the only white guy on my street.
Stop reading the Daily Fail eh?.
When I first moved into my street I was weary and I admit a little scared but my fears were thrown outa the window when my next door neighbour came around the 2nd day with a lovely curry as a welcoming gift.
I know most of my neighbours by name and have been invited to weddings and family gatherings and boy they are a lot of fun.
Some of you lot need to wake up and realise that Muslims/Christians/Hindu's etc are all just like us...they love their children just the same as us and want a good life for themselves and their familys.

I personally see it as freedom of speech. We've sure put up with the other side of the coin. I would never obey fascist taking away freedom of speech.

On the other hand, why incite those who are in more controlling beliefs when there is surely better ways of modeling peace and love and equality than simply posting a cartoon like this.

So quite a complex issue isn't it. Just because freedom needs to exist doesnt mean a person should do so and won't encounter some consequence from those around them for being mean.

How do you know the OP is legit? He could be making that part up, especially considering all the "lols" peppering his responses.

This smells like a total troll thread.

Go ahead and post it I love the 3 Stooges Curley ,Mo and Larry

That is very true. People are falling for it too, the way people talk about Jews and Israel reminds me of Nazi Germany, they are being told Jews are evil and screaming death to Israel, they cannot see they are falling for the Muslim propaganda being dished out to them, anti American anti Israel, anti British. hatred of jews it is like a witch hunt all over again like ww2 against jews and they don't see it.

Yes there are bad jews but there are a hell of a lot more bad non jews who are just as bad. The Illuminati is in every country in every part of the world, one place or certain people should not be singled out have people not learned from the past.

You can spread anti Israel and anti Jewish all you like but my goodness call a muslim and all hell breaks loose they have it all sown up their propaganda machine is in every part of the media especially online.

DO NOT BE ANTI ISRAEL PLEASE.

That's it I'am out....
I refuse to be wound up by people who hate more than love.
Goodnight.

Its happening George.

Sounded like good reasons to me, thanks for that

At the end of the day it is about respect isn't it? I respect Muslims as human beings and would not try to offend them on purpose just like the OP wants to do.

edit on 12-11-2012 by boymonkey74 because: (no reason given)

i guess you don't respect christians, i know i have seen post of yours where you say all kinds of vile things about christains. if you respect one you should respect the other.


i will now go and look through your all of your posts and find examples.
