Re: More cartoon protests

I remember the poster on Nelsons wall that said "nuke the arabs and take theyre oil"

For some reason i think we should pay a little more attention to the hidden message there ;)

consider yourself lucky in Israel that you probably don't have to deal with these guys. guidos are males with most, sometimes all of the following:

-fake tan -over-gelled spiky hair, usually very short on the sides becoming a high fade that makes them look like they stuck their finger in a socket -typically from 'jersey -usually italian or partially italian decent, but not necessarily. have seen guidos of all races (even black!) -hang out in clubs/ruin the club experience -muscle heads...like to dance with muscles flexed to try to show off -usually shorter -travel in packs -stupid and belligerent...like to start fights -tight expensive (or pseudo-expensive) clothes, usually what you could find at macy's, but also diesel, armani, etc. -gold chains -sexually predatory, but probably latently homosexual -mean expression trying to look cool

[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][QUOTE]Why do Muslims see it as OK to riot, kill and destroy because of a cartoon??[/QUOTE] [/SIZE][/FONT]

That wasn't the question.

I found the questions unreasonable because they were directed at me. I am personally not offended by the images/cartoons, so I can't give the exact answer/reason as to why the 'rioters' found them so offensive. You'd have to ask them, the rioters/Muslims that is.

Do you understand this?

I offered an opinion/reason/view, thats all and if they happen to differ from yours then so be it.

That's what discussions are about.

If you think the questions are reasonable then I'll ask the same questions to you and look foward to your response.

Tell me if you can what is offensive about these images?

What is so offensive about them that it has led to riots and deaths?

What is so offensive about them that embassies have been burnt down - even embassies of countries that have not published the image?

I'm sorry if you think that to question the actions of rioters and murders to be unreasonable. Should we all sit back and allow this sort of behaviour in our countries?

That said, on the whole, these pictures look like nothing more than a man with an olive complextion (?) and a beard; one even looks like a bad paradoy of Bill Gates (or maybe just to me). Does this mean that we can no longer draw pictures of men with dark skin and a beard in case it offends members of the religion of peace?

And as for the picture of the so called Mohamed and a bomb in his turbun, this image was republished in an Egyptian daily (with some others) - notice the date of 17th October 2005

And not once was an egyptian embassy burnt.

Double standard no? Muslims can print images of the prohpet with impunity, but when the west does it, riots, firebombs and deaths (with apparently stand at 17 people of this now)

Your arguement would have some validity if attacks had only happened against Danish property.

Other countries interests were attacked for, as you say, re publishing, the cartoons.

So my question is this; How comes they were attacked and Egypt not? Is it ok for Muslim to publish such material but non muslims can't?

You miss the fundamental point. If it is against Islam to show images of the Muhamed, why is it ok for an Egyptian paper to reprint the cartoons and not anyone else.

This isn't about a joke, this is meant to be a basic instruction in Islam. . . . not quite the same as what you have tried to show.

look you will find books on 'islam' which are circulated in the schools of kids and that books you and i are able to get...these books may have descriptions of Muhammed i have read a few, they vary, and there is no real legitimate consensual image of the holy prophet of islam...there isnt ..there are supposed to be paintings which show him in his supposed form....and the koran (holy book) came before muhammed died, so it isnot written in verse that it is not allowed to show him...it is because of many traditions and disagreement which arose later that it was decided that the holy prophet will not have a visual symbolic image, his name is everywhere in muslim societies but not once will you see an image of his...even the famous movie i think called 'the message' with anthony quinn was about him and his life and not once was his face portrayed or his voice heard, even though he was an active character in the movie.... the reason why the egyptian paper re published them could be to incite...could be to diffuse as well...maybe there was a hope that if everyone saw the pictures they would think twice before getting angry and i dont think they did...maybe im wrong but i dont recall any crazy violent protests in egypt and why no one else printed them...that would be obvious i suppose after the way some muslims reacted because i think it was soon after they were originally published that the paper reprinted)...non the less it stems back to the books and how they had descriptions of the prophet, these books were written by muslims it makes a difference no matter what you say about fundamental facts..people are biased thats thier nature..thats human nature....its not like it would have been ok if a muslim did it at all...he would cop a hunk of shit for it maybe even killed you know what happed to salman rushdi after he published 'satanic verses'...but the reaction wouldnt have been as extreme (must take into account{when talking about this extreme} the way muslims have been marginalised since 9/11 because i dont think it would have been this intense even even danish papers published it well before that day..)
