Why dont Christians and Jews go to most Muslim nations and demand apologies for 'Holocaust denial'?

Because we have a life, thats why.

‘Holocaust denial is targeted by laws in Europe. Why can’t we have laws that protect all religions and prophets?’ he asked.

Because if we did, the police would be very busy arresting Moslems - I hope.

Hmmm. These 2 in the picture don't look as if they been spoon-fed with wisdom...

In other news:

Australian resident Islamo-agent-provocateur Yusuf Irfan is leaving a trail like a snail to discredit and smear Dr. Daniel Pipes, whom he accuses of ‘misrepresenting’ Canadian Human Rights Commissioner Graeme Innes. Unfortunately for Yusuf, nothing sticks....

Expelling a nation's ambassador because of an independent newspaper's editorial choice is analogous to removing General Petraeus because some people were offended by the latest Rambo film.

"Christions?" You may as well say "Palestinians" - they are both nothing groups essentially.

General Zaki Bani Rsheid needs to get it straight: it is Muslims today who use the example from their own Prophet and inspiration from the Koran to repeatedly target non-Muslims around the globe. This idiotic general should be protesting jihadists chopping people's heads off.

BTW: sheik yer'mami, good write-up regarding Yusuf Irfan. Irfan is a fat Paki with no life and for a lawyer, he loves to pretend he has real power by threatening to sue everybody who disagrees with him. He doesn't seem to understand debate. Then again, most Muslims don't.

Why do we keep describing Jordan as "moderate"? Moderate at what? I guess they're moderate because they only burned flags and not people.

‘Why can’t we have laws that protect all religions and prophets?’

Why do I have to be censored if I don’t believe in your religion or your prophet? Ridicule of Mohammed IS NOT like shouting ‘FIRE’ in a crowded theater. It should not be regulated in places that respect free speech.

For an entertaining viewpoint on faith and religion, go to Youtube and look up Pat Condell. He has many videos. I really like ‘Why Does Faith Deserve Respect?’

Why can’t we have laws that protect all religions and prophets?

Ask your prophet. He was the one who decreed one religion for all. Ask the Saudis. Denmark protects your right to practice your religion. Saudi Arabia doesn't do that for me.

‘We came today to send a clear message to the entire world that we reject the repeated targeting of our prophet and religion,’ IAF Secretary General Zaki Bani Rsheid told AFP.

When, oh when, will we send a similar message to the Muslim world regarding ITS repeated targeting of OUR religions AND our people? Muslims who can't abide freedom of speech shouldn't live in societies where it is respected. Freedom doesn't mean you don't have the right not be offended. That isn't what freedom of religion is about, either. With every passing day Muslims show us just how dense they are and how obtuse they can be when it comes to understanding the meaning of freedom.

The protestors are "calling on Muslim and Arab leaders to 'defend Islam and revenge for blaspheming the Prophet'."

Blaspheming? What does it mean? (see blasphemy definitions)

Blaspheming the Holy Spirit (Matt. 12:31-32; Mark 3:28-29; Luke 12:10) is the only unpardonable sin in Christianity, and wouldn't you know it? Islam has plagiarized and mangled this as well.

You see, Islam has PROOF that Mohammad is that Holy Spirit to come, as mentioned by Jesus in John 16:13, and based on how the word is spelled, which means, as a matter of divine syncretistic justice, that anyone who blasphemes Mohammad will not be pardoned in this life OR the next, so all of you uppity Christian blasphemers of that epileptic/psychotic, pedophile, rapist, thief, liar, murderer, and false prophet named Mohammad, that Muslims revere as the Holy Spirit incarnate, had better knock it off, because you now know better... but then again, it's probably too late to save your sorry reprobate asses, so boo hoo for you, LOSERS!

How does it feel to be doomed?

First, for those with whom I was dialoguing in the comments to a post last week, my apologies for suddenly disappearing. I got called for a family emergency, and had little chance to get online again until today. Now, on to this most recent post.

In the article, Rheil Ghraibeh asked ‘Why can’t we have laws that protect all religions and prophets?’ Mr. Ghraibeh ought to do his homework. The fact is, Western nations DO have laws that protect all religions, and by extension religious figures. The global threat posed by Islam is two-fold, and has to do exactly with these, and related, sorts of laws: first, an unwillingness to be treated, in legal or social terms, like just one religion among many; second, an unwillingness to treat members of other religions within the borders of their own countries with respect and dignity.

On the first point, I have no more problem in principle with a mosque in my neighbourhood than I do with having a church, a synagogue, a Buddhist temple, etc. I might think that any religion other than my own (Catholicism) is, to varying degrees, teaching errors of various sorts; that does not mean that I do not recognize their right to exist and, yes, even teach things that I think, for various reasons, are mistaken. However, principle gives way in practice when evidence mounts to suggest that mosques (unlike churches, synagogues, Buddhist temples, etc.) are key recruiting grounds for domestic terrorists. Then, I think, religious freedom ought best give way to national security (in my case, Canadian national security), not because I do not believe in the former but because I begin to think that, perhaps, the mosque is more about sedition than religion.

On the second point--Muslims' treatment of non-Muslims in Muslim majority countries--this phenomenon is well-documented. Generally, I am a supporter of the principle that one nation ought not interfere in the domestic policy or jurisprudence of another. However, when the domestic policy or jurisprudence is so outrageous, the West ought to take greater steps to ensure that its citizens do not suffer from receiving such absurd punishments as the death penalty for naming a bear 'Muhammed.' Moreover, the facile descriptions of Western 'aggression' as immoral miss a fundamental point: there is a qualitative difference between a purely, unwarranted, aggressive war (i.e. the Nazi invasions of other countries) and war aimed at defending of human dignity from totalitarian regimes of one persuasion or another. Clearly, the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq fall into the latter category (even if one might think, as I tend to, that the perhaps the invasion of Iraq could have been managed better in practical terms. A mismanaged, however, is not necessarily an immoral war).

'Nuff said.

Just how is reporting accurately on a lying, plagiarizing, thieving, warmongering, slaveholding, intolerant, murderous pedophile terrorist "blaspheming" Mohammad?

It's all in the Koran and Hadiths.

Maybe these guys can't read.

I gotta admit, I never was a fan of Christions. They act too much like the Jo's. Come to think of it, I don't like Meeslims or Atheons either!

Posted by: Goob at February 26, 2008 11:10 AM

If it were not for these people always rioting, killing people and doing property damage, all this fuss about cartoons would be funny, worthy of a Bill Murray comedy movie. It would be better yet if Jim Varney (Earnest) was alive to do a movie called 'Earnest saves Islam'. Ok, I know this is not actually funny, but the muslim mind set about such things is laughable. We need to find as many things about Islam to laugh about as possible. They have no humor, lets not join them in that dourness, but bombard them with laughter...

Posted by: duh_swami at February 26, 2008 11:58 AM

You don't like Antheons Goobs? I always thought you were a great Atheon supporter. I used to be an Atheon supporter until I found out they require you to wear a tin foil hat. I don't doubt that you would balk at that as well. I suspect that under the hats caps, burka helmets, and head scarves of Meeslims, you will find hidden, tin foil hats. Meeslims may be strange, but they got the tin foil hat number down.
I don't think that Christion's require tin foil head wear. They go more for full body armor, and tanks. I try to avoid all of them as much as possible. Especially those pesky tanks...

"One question for Ghraibeh: How exactly do cartoons harm religions and long-deceased prophets?"

Answer: Cartoons can harm a religion and a long deceased prophet when said religion and long-deceased prophet are monsterous and false.

Real religion can take a bit of humour poked at it; the Islamic house of cards that is built can't withstand that kind of probing or pressure; too much of it, and the whole thing will come crashing down around the world's ears.

I think the cartoons should be published in every newspaper, mag. in the world. I also believe that the truth should be noted that it was the imans who added and incited the origional violence. But sadly, there are more evil works against us. We can not be passive, prayer and reform to G-D is the only way. The muslims are used of satan and so it will be until the end... then JESUS will come. Yes the koran is evil, written by satan just as the Bible is written By G-D. Pray for them and us and but be encouraged, JESUS is soon to come!

Based on: Abu Huraira said: The Prophet said, "I have been given the keys of eloquent speech and given victory with awe (cast into the hearts of the enemy), and while I was sleeping last night, the keys of the treasures of the earth were brought to me till they were put in my hand." Abu Huraira added: Allah's Apostle left (this world) and now you people are carrying those treasures from place to place. [Sahih of Bukhari, vol 9 p 106 no 127; Sahih of Muslim, vol 1 p 266 no 1063]

Eph 6:12icon For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the “RULERS OF DARKNESS” of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places].

“RULERS OF DARKNESS

One question for Ghraibeh: How exactly do cartoons harm religions and long-deceased prophets?

This is the perversion and dirty little secret. Mohammad is worshiped as much as allah in this cult. They follow every mention of his name with a little homely as they do with allah. Connect the dots. You are attacking the idol god of islam. Now in their schizophrenic logic he is not god but they sure don't hold back when it comes devotion to him. They call him a prophet but his sayings are superior to any other prophet before him. And it is OK if his prophecies contradict any earlier prophecies.

Seems like a real god would not have prophets contradicting other prophets that would make god look stupid or untrue. Oh, I just realized they don't say prophets contradict each other they say the story has changed. Without a shred of proof mind you. Matter of fact the archaeologist are finding just the opposite everyday regarding what has and has not changed in old texts of scripture.

Lies upon lies upon lies to cover other lies and deceive all. Just some thoughts.

Ya know, both Marisol's post and the comments here touch one of my raw nerves.

Some Zen monasteries used to place Zen scriptures in the community outhouse for use as toilet paper. I wish every religion would adopt a similar attitude towards scripture.

"If you see the Buddha, kill him." ~a Zen koan

Jerry Falwell frequently claimed,

“The Bible is the inerrant ... word of the living God. It is absolutely infallible, without error in all matters pertaining to faith and practice, as well as in areas such as geography, science, history, etc.”

Nonsense. To say that about any book is to commit an act of idolatry with that book. It doesn’t matter whether it’s the Bible, the Koran, the Gita, or “Valley of the Dolls”.

My faith in Christ is so strong that I don’t need a Book to see Him in the eyes of beggars.
