Last night had a meal with Jim at Vietnam Restaurant.
Just discovered M&M's being sold in a shop in town... thank the lord! I haven't found any M&M's for years!!!
OK... my two cents on the Muhammad cartoon controversy. What is worse? Insulting someone's religion... or inciting violence?? As I looked at pictures of Muslims using threatening behaviour outside the Danish embassy, here in London, waving signs saying "Butcher Those Who Mock Islam" I decided that my sympathy for Muslims has reached it's lowest ebb yet.
I need to meet some nice, sane Muslims beyond the lovely guy at the corner shop. I need positive images to go against the constant negative imagery I see on telly and in the newspapers. Right now all I see is facist bastards who hate Jews, want to end free speech and censor the press. People who don't think twice before hanging gay people or stoning an adultress. Positive Muslim input required!
My last Muslim friend was way back at primary school...
My fave site of the day is: The Church Sign Generator
As Muslims we are required to respect all religions, be it people who are Christians, Jewish, Hindu e.tc.
ReplyDeleteSo i’m really surprised at the pictures published in the newspaper, and also of their false nature. Maybe people should read about Prophet Muhummmad peace be upon him, and realise that he was a mercy to all mankind.
Attacking the prophet peace be upon him by drawing such pictures is attacking Muslims directly.
We dont draw pictures of other prophets like Abraham, Moses, Jesus, infact we respect them, and would never think to do such drawings.
Of course you don't draw them, or insult them... they are part of the Muslim religion as well. Last I checked the Taliban were more than happy to attack other religions, such as the infamous destruction of some very important Buddhist statues.
ReplyDeleteI think you are looking at this all wrong. You are saying that no religion should be attacked at all... Religion is a belief system and just like political opinion and even sexuality it must not be above freedom of speech.

ReplyDeleteThis is nonsence. I'd be grateful if you could supply confirmation of this. So far as my understanding of Islam goes - this couldn't be further from the truth. Furthermore, you say nothing of showing respect for people without a faith - don't they count?
sorry that anon message as me Jae
