After a movies now cartoons in French magazine and off course people will defend because its freedom of speech

If Westerners went to a strong Muslim country and started burning flags and shouting about killing those against Christianity, they wouldn't last five seconds. They can argue with the filmmakers as much as they like but behaving exactly as the filmmakers described in countries that are nothing to do with the stupid, badly made thing is hardly a sensible move.

Totally different from saying to the 'potential' rioters good boys and girls for not being bad. The leaders could have just as easily sat and said nothing and just let their 'followers' do as they wished.

Re: Praise the Muslims

I certainly have no axe to grind with the Muslim community or the religion itself as I dislike all religions equally BUT why is it that Muslims are just so precious about any sort of perceived or real criticism ?

Re: Praise the Muslims

Exactly right, I just dont get why they are so sensitive about what others think about their beliefs.

Every religion is a minority in the world. Muslims are at 21%.

As a devout atheist I find that figure hard to believe.

No - can't find one - but I shall have a sign that says "death to those that think aethiesm is a religion" and on the reverse "behead the agnostics for trying to overpower the aethiests"

That'll be a big sign. Lots of big words as well. You may need to cut it down a bit. 'You're pissing me off, go away' should do it.
