it's unfortunate that muslim get portrayed that way. It is only a handful of them that do that shit, gives everyone else a bad name.
If you look at the History of christianity it isn't much better.

If not a very big fan of organized religion, and im not a fan of ignorance and people not being able to understand both sides of the problem.

I think that yes that cartoon should not have been printed in a major newspaper in europe, that was just fucking dumb., and unfortunaly there was an OVERreaction to say the least.

In fact If you want to talk about this cartoon and it's impacts, it would be appreciated if you did it in a intellgent manner, and not just link a stupid video in which the creator of it thought he was smart and it was vaildity, but if you know anything at all, that just as much bullshit as anything else.

what ever happened to being culturaly sensitive and having respect?

Just because you don't agree with something doesn't mean you have to be a fucking asshole.

So so true! What if all christians freaked out on Kanye and started to kill black people and threaten to nuke something because Kanye posed as jesus? Islam isn't the religion of peace. The problems of radical fundamentalist islam are far more widespread than anyone wants to admit. Did anyone see the video posted where a few thousand muslims were chanting in the streets of London saying they were going to nuke Denmark, the UK, and the US because of these fucking cartoons? Unbelievable.

I can't help but compare these to the Jesus LOL cartoons, which are honestly absolutely hilarious. Radical islam doesn't seem to understand what a joke it is. It's the kind of behaviour that gets you excluded from society in most parts of the world, because who wants to deal with someone who's always angry, takes everything way too seriously, can't laugh at himself and gets worked up over nothing? Can't stand those kinds of people. And the mob mentality makes it even worse.

Exactly! They are like the smelly kid in your 5th grade class that has several disorders and they try to bite anybody who even looks at them the wrong way.

the whole country of IRAN boycotted the danes, so i dont think its only a handful of them really. its true that its only a handful that commit suicide bombings and shit but this only means that its only a handful that properly follow the religion. the religion clearly states that any non beleivers should be turned over using a jihad, a religious war...

plus the newspapers wernt being being assholes. they were trying to make a point about that the terrorist were using a religious war to cover their violence.

The problem with what you said here, is that it can work both ways:

Our culture values freedom of expression. In this case we expressed something that offended another culture. This culture in return isn't accepting ours.

So in this case you could say it comes down to which culture (pertaining to this event) makes more sense and is, let's say, more civilized. I think I know which one, and I'm sure you probably do too.
