Re: Toonophobia

seriously, once the american and euro publinc in general gets sick of the news and protests, you can count on things like this every day from the normal everyday citizen.

its not that we dont respect thier views and religion, but dont even try to temper our freedoms or you will become the target of satirical jokes for a long time.

what i find the funniest and most ironic, is that this has nothing to do with the governments, we are all going against our governments by publishing and poking fun. every gov't in the world wants us to stop but cant, because they cannot take away our freedoms without going to a shiaric state of affairs.

Re: Toonophobia

then get more muslims against these people instead of standing parade side. NO ONE HAS STOOD UP AGAINST THEM.

seriously, someone that knows this guy call up CNN or AJ, give us his name, or something so we can interview him. because as of now,. the muslim reaction to this is DEAFENING. the only reason the UAC has asked people to stop is because it is having an effect on trade and relations when a countried embassy is attacked.

well said dood...well said...but i guess that whole generalisation issue you cant really escape from..its when people with nothing better to do but belittle because of whatever insecurities of thier own seek out as many glitchy pictures as they can find on the internet and use them to convey the message they so desperatley want to make legitimate...i guess it also depends on how you interpret it...that uneducated probabely illiterate man might be saying ..peace please can we have peace and if nobody listnes look im willing to sacrifice my own child (who looks pretty willing) in the name of this peace that i seek...id never do such a thing but who am i to judge what has pushed him so far that he straps his own daughter up with symbolic dynamite to prove a point...i dunno man it seems like people just need to think a bit more....including all of us before jumping to sweeping conclusions...media is not a reliable source of truth i mean thats the least i expect from people from this community....

:roll:way to try to make the other people on the board seem juvenile and bigoted. i'm sure people make fun of the situation because they are insecure...that's it

"use them to convey the message they so desperatley want to make legitimate" trust me...people don't want it to be legitimate. that's why they draw cartoons to mock the absurdity of the situation.

i think that people generalize because there is not enough backlash against the protests from the muslim community, which people take as silent consent. if the peaceful muslim community is going to win over the hearts of non-muslims and change the perception of muslims abroad, they are going to have to take action against those who would tarnish their peaceful religion. either the media does not show this side of the issue enough or it just doesn't happen. you'd think there would be scads of muslims decrying the protests because what they do is fuel anti-muslim sentiment. I read the news and I don't see that much muslim anti-protest...so again, either it's not being covered or it's not happening. since many think that the news can be impartial and they see that there is no resistance by the peaceful muslims to the knee-jerk violent protest mindset of the fanatical ones, they believe that the peaceful muslims are not speaking out because they agree with the protests. if they agree with the protests, then they are only one step away from terrorism, etc. etc. so i can't fault people too much for generalizing, even if it's wrong.

Re: Toonophobia

true that mr kinky j...this is starting to drag....but regardless..i do agree with you sammwalk in that there isnt really any protests against the protests...but why does that have to mean that they are being relished or accepted by the muslim community...you have to understand firstly the place at which this (anti)protest will happen...and that its virtually impossible to protest against the riots simply because you cant seperate the moderates form the extremists..if you want support you cant be slective...i dunno if you know about the cronulla riots here near sydney..but there was some racist boshit going down here for a bit...you know how it started...it was a protest against violence and what happened...some white extremist racist fuks came down and started instigating...chanting shouting spurring on the rest...then mass paranoia diffusion of responsibilty, before you know it its an anti lebanese riot which then somehow becomes an anti muslim riot...the players in this...the extremist white boys and the media....im just giving this as an example cuz it just happened recently here and maybe youll pay more attention or maybe itll make more sense ir be more acceptable if its out of the whole middle easternn context....but this is just to highlight the fact that riots and anti riots or whatever really have a fat chance of staying peacefull right now so why...if you wanna hear muslims leaders and clerics and scholars condemn the violence and chaos caused by the cartoons(which in no way were making light of the situation or trying to add humor..they were simple and straghtforward..not mocking the absurdity of the situation they were conveying a clear message..iv seen really funny stuff about muslims and that but this just wasnt) youll find it hard to because hwatever air time they get or coverage they get is very little and far between...whats gonna sell?...look you live in the states yeah..no prejudice i lived there once to..but watch manufacturing consent or read the book..its by chompsky you migght like it...ok back to the topic..dont take muslim 'silence' (which doesnt exist)..its just not as covered or reinforced rather, as consent..and peacefull muslim community trying to win over you heart...what the hell does that mean..i dont undertstand..your saying that the muslim has to take initiative to prove to you something which is relative to you?...what?...take the skyrocketing number of muslim converts..note not immigrants but converts in the u.s.,...its the fasting growing religion there which seems to speak for it self....pick up the koran in english its a book not that long and read...you wont become a muslim (dont worry) and niether will it be blasphemous if you are of any other religion...you wanna change you perception you take the initiative...thats doesnt seem fair..i agree with the fact that they will have to take initiative to do something about the people who tarnish thier religion but how far will you go..to each thier own man..a fundamental belief that you must have to me a muslim is the conviction of life herafter...you will ultimately be judged by he who knows all...he who created you...this life is seen as temporary...the day of judgment will see all christian muslim jew morman buddhist athiest zionist cuntloverist who ever everyone is equal...the true muslims have faith in the fact that thier lack of power and cotrol is temporary ultimately this life will end and so will this world and all the wories and injustices and stupid shit which seems to be a big deal will no longer be...something to consider when talking about religion and people from it are thier beliefs...because that plays a mojor role...

and that's exactly the point. if you don't condone terrorism but it's what everyone else perceives as what you stand for, then it's your problem to get rid of it.

if smith's kid comes over and fucks with me, and i go over to smith's house and his kid isn't gettin an ass whoopin, smith and i got a problem, right?

[quote=malayday]and peacefull muslim community trying to win over you heart...what the hell does that mean..i dont undertstand..your saying that the muslim has to take initiative to prove to you something which is relative to you?...what?...[/quote]

whether or not they condone terrorist action is not "relative" to me; they either condone or they don't. and yes, it is their responsibility to make sure that they are portrayed accurately in the media...who else's? If the community does not like the stereotype that they are all flag-burning, suicide-bombing extremists, then it is their responsibility to stop the propagation of this stereotype by stopping the ones who perpetuate it. And by that I mean not cartoonists, who are merely commentating, but flag-burning, suicide-bombing extremists.

I'm no expert on explosives but wouldn't sticks of dynamite be wrapped a bit tighter? Since I've seen this picture I can't help but think these are packages of Ritz crackers (the kind that come in the big red box).

i dunno if its as simple as that...that anology takes into no account the reason why smiths kid came and fucked with you..your assuming and portraying that the muslims for no reason whatsoever except pure malice and love of death and destruction do what they do in acts of so called terror.... most of these extremists who blow themselves up donot have laser guided missiles to do the job man...or anysort of sophiticated machinery or weapons..they make themsleves into weapons so that they may react...think about that knowing that there is no choice no way of inflicting damage except to make yourself a bomb and take your life along with others....and flag burning most of the people who resort to buring flags is symbolic...they cant speak in english and tell fox fuking news and cnn what they want so the most effective 2 minute way of showing that you donot like something make a copy of it and burn it..whos gonna doubt or get confused with what your saying...? the americans burnt their own flag in demonstations in the 60s because they were sybolising that thier country no longer represented what they want it or believed it to...it was only america in name not in spirit...jimmy hendrix played the star spangled banner in the destorted way he did to sybolise and communicate what he felt about what happened to america (last day of woodstock) and what he feels about it...why because he could..he was a great guitar player and could speak with his strings at the time many criticised him deeply and scournfully...but in retrospect we see what he was trying to say...

Re: Toonophobia

about palestinian children dying..thats some insensitive shit you be saying man...dont stand so close?...did you know that about 48% of palestinian children under the age of 10 have seen..like actually been there to see thier father being either beaten or held to be powerless in front of thier eyes...can you respect the effects of this...very few have ever been put in that situation...think about how you saw your father..the protection and security he gave to you and you family.. and think about realising that there is no such power in him at such an early age...that he cannot protect you and that he is powerless against any isrealite (military)...how you cannot move freely in you own country without someone watching you or someone knowing where your going...and that someone being the percieved enemy...how your movment and citizenship is being regulated by someone who does not belong to your country... there is no speration between so called terrorists and the ordinary fathers and young men who make up the resistance...the men who were the scarf on thier face and have the ak in one hand are the very same people who live there as so called citizens...there is no seperate army or militia who make up the terrorist.... a year and half ago there were six children varying from the age of 3 to 11 who went to play in the strawberry fields that they they would go to almost everyday...they were there picking the little strawberrys and eating them virtually thier own back yard...when a tank shell was fired from a distance which blew up the little bodies into pieces leaving them unrecognizable...they were all brothers and sisters..all belonged to one mother...the compensation..none...the excuse...suspected terrorists....the case..never saw the light of day....only made a brief apperance on a show on television which must be forgotten by now...these palestinian children who are growing older seeing this around them these generations of oppressed children who become impowered by the group psyche which is hamas will only have violence and hatred for thier neighbors....1/3 of all the casualties which have been recorded by the palestinian side have been children...and for every one isrealite dead there have been five palestinians to pay the price and out of these 5 1/3 are kids..inoocent kids forget the innocent adults..fuk them...think about the new lives a little more and think about what it was like to be one before you say or support something like 'dont stand so close'....
