Good question Mr Banana. Think it refers to the reaction to what happened now.

Almost a shame I returned a poster to ignore; this thread is tricky to read now but I'll live

I'm a people person on the whole, in the same manner as Hannibal Lecter. Pass the fava beans and Chianti.

and nobody is denying that but while we have such maniacs in the world what purpose is served by purposely insulting the religion they claim to follow

If just for once if you accepted that people have a differing view to you then life may be easier

Apparently it's very easy to insult Islam. They need to be less sensitive.

If they can't handle their " prophet" being cartooned that's their issue not ours. You can't see that because you're an apologist for them.

what purpose did killing those two thousand in Nigeria serve, who did they insult. Like Carl I'm a people person to, I tend not to upset people for no good reason but just because someone draws a few cartoons doesn't mean they're part of the problem. Even the leader of Hezbollah has condemned the attacks, you know your a dodge pot when Hezbollah calls you extreme

Oh look, Persians were drawing images of Mohammed centuries ago, with or without a face.

Then they have won. The politics of fear and terrorism have won because you and your ilk would allow it.

So what is being debated as its hard to decipher?

If the children in this thread dont stop their petty arguments with each other, I will.

Good, it was your use of it that made me request the change, hated the other one but had no idea how to change it. Much happier now.

It could be argued that if you look at it like that then they won after nine eleven, when all those hard won freedoms we held so dear were gladly surrendered to the state because we were all scared, MI5 can't cope with analyzing the data they've all ready got on us all but it won't stop them asking for more powers in the wake of this atrocity

It'll be interesting to find out whether the two morons who tried to set fire to the offices of a German newspaper which reprinted the cartoons are Muslim or not. Idiot sympathisers or people trying to stir up anti-Muslim sentiment.

I don't get that. The sentiment I've been getting from his posts in this is along the lines of "you can have free speech if you want but be prepared for any consequences as a result".

That's my worry and is what I reckon we'll be seeing more of.

Some interesting views from Will Self and cartoonist Martin Rowson on C4 news.
