'Anti' Isalm cartoons....

However, in my opinion, Religion causes a huge amount of suffering and misery

Up until recently religion was used to stike "fear" into the common man and keep them "down". Religious leaders were just another kind of "elite" that ruled over the masses and subjugated them.

Thankfully are dependance on religion had broken, the ideals of "love thy neigbour" and "thou shalt not kill" etc. are still important in our society but I honestly don't think they relegion has done as too many favours.

Even now that Catholic Church still forbids contraception that leads to the spread of Aids and unwanted pregnancy, in Africa they are basically condemning people to death in the 21C.

To be honest I have no time for relegion.

I simply believe, and personal belief and freedom of speech, I think, is the basis of a number of religions, that religion is both good and bad, and simply creates a divide in itself.

I don't dislike religion, at no point have I said that, so once again, you haven't read the posts.

*sigh*

I inferred that you dislike religion based on your criticism of it. Let's stop this now.

Posting rubbish like this clearly indicates that you have no idea what you are talking about. Grow up and stop being so offensive.

Think he waas just trying to lighten the mood mate. Its this kind of agression over trivial things that we're talking about.

I think the point was it takes more than nationality on a passport to be British and that many seem like they would be much happier in the land of their ancestry, as they often seem uncomfortable with life here and aligned to foreign values

yup!
also vonhelmet has a point about some of them being here to cause trouble.

Somewhat harsh - How very dare you.

My original comment was genuine, and eloquently made.

"Christ on a bike"

Presumably the pedal powered 2 wheel type, and not a wanton woman with low morals?

You would have probably been burnt for blasphemy (by some religion or other) for saying stuff like that just a couple of hundred years ago

It's just a book of fiction get over it (otherwise you're start to sound religious, virgin birth pah!)

A few went a bit mental over Life of Brian

One of my favourite films, I'm all for irreverence it helps the rancid nature of religion easier to bare.

The right to protest is a fundamental one in any democracy. If Muslims find ths=ese cartoons offensive then they ahve every right to protest as much as they want, as long as they dont break any laws.

Suggesting that agroup shouldnt beallowed to protest simply because you disagree with their cause is disgraceful. Its akin to saying 'I believe in freedom of speech, but only for those that agree with me'.

They didn't did they

I missed the introduction of the guest so not quite sure on his standing but basically it was a muslim dodging all the interviewers questions regarding celebration of 9/11 etc being more offensive than drawings, and instead stating how it is fine in the west to take the wet out of muslims and british people should take into account the muslims way of life more because there is soo many of them. Now im sorry but :agrierthanagryface: doesn't cut it for me. All muslim people i know think if it was their choice the drawings shouldn't have been published but they are drawings, there is a lot more important things to worry about.
