One of those occasions I agree with David Cameron.

Tricky not to when polls indicate the minority who hold views that would be considered extremist, even if they don't act on them, is such a sizeable one. Oddly the media don't cover that angle either, they appear to instead try and claim that people killing while shouting 'Allahu Ackbar' is nothing to do with Islam; any Islam.

Re: Mass shooting in Paris
 

Remarkably the vast majority of Christians, to take one example, make the same pronouncements about people such as Breivik and Kony not killing in the name of their faith.

I know, I'll poke a stick at a King Cobra then complain when it bites me.

You'd think they'd gone soft if they didn't do anything.

and you'd think they've gone mad if they thought they weren't gonna do anything.

Re: Mass shooting in Paris
 

So you'd be quite happy living around a large bunch of King Cobras having to constantly tiptoe around them waiting for them to attack?

Are Muslims the only ones allowed to go around killing people if they say that are offended by something or can we all join in?

Re: Mass shooting in Paris
 

I'm assuming you've not really read much of this thread?

Re: Mass shooting in Paris
 

This was a competition to see who could best insult Islam ,if you are going to hold a competition like that then expect some kind of retribution

Re: Mass shooting in Paris
 

And what would have happened if they had insulted christianity, buddism, sikhism or one of the other popular mental aberrations ? :confused:

Re: Mass shooting in Paris
 

What was so insulting? Even if there has been something nasty about the pictures, the attackers had no idea of what was in them. They were against the principle of ANY pictures.
The Islamic rule is JUST for Muslims, not everybody else. That is unless they are intent on imposing Islamic law on EVERYBODY. Before you know it they will be imposing things like Halal meat on people, oh wait a minute THEY ARE.

Many of the rest of "us" are offended by certain things, but not only do "we" have to put up with it, it is often FORCED upon "us".

Considering that happens frequently, we know the answer.

Although.
At least the law there applies to ALL religions.

Re: Mass shooting in Paris
 

Probably nothing at all which is the whole point :rolleyes: ,this competition was designed to provoke a reaction from known extremists ,the organisers didn't have a competition of cartoons of Jesus because it wouldn't get a reaction

I don't actually think it possible to miss the point any more than you just did

Re: Mass shooting in Paris
 

The irony is that if they did he would be depicted as white rather than the Arabic/Judean that he was.

Re: Mass shooting in Paris
 

Indeed,I never saw an Arabic Jesus on the cross in all those bible belt towns they have in America........I wonder why

Re: Mass shooting in Paris
 

Exactly and I can't understand why otherwise-intelligent people can't get their heads around this.

Do I think people are being over-sensitive at being insulted at these cartoons? Of course I do. But to then act surprised when the nutters react in that way after being provoked is utter stupidity.

Re: Mass shooting in Paris
 

Zero surprise it happened, doesn't mean any accommodation should be given.

Look on the bright side, such actions are illegal here and indeed should Labour be elected we'll pretty much have blasphemy laws. Very progressive, open-minded and 21st century.
