1391692 2015-01-14 23:43:00 Just a thought, how do Muslims actually know that those cartoons are really of Mohammed ? After all, no one living has ever seen his face, and no one was allowed to depict him either in either drawing or statue, so the cartoons over which much mayhem was caused could be of anyone wearing a turban (or even a towel) and having a beard.

I'm sure Muslim children at school when drawing, draw men with turbans and beards ?

I wonder if it is connected to the text??

Last paragraph on page 2 says it all :

Whether we “won” the war in Iraq remains an unsettled question. It hinges, at this point, on which way the Iraqis turn.

Lurking.

Ps, 4.5 million Muslims in France, so don't think this will be the only attack.

lurks.

I think it can be measured by how many yanks got killed and how many Iraqis got waxed. So it would be a definite win by the allies.

Sad, stupid but dangerous little monkey brains. God help us all, including all the other creatures in the world.

1391698 2015-01-18 01:12:00 I think that it should an offense in law to deliberately act in a way that is likely to encourage acts of terrorism or riots. These news paper idiots know that publishing unnecessary cartoons about religious beliefs can cause violence, and yet they continue to do so. Lives are at risk just because a few arrogant journalists get a kick out of their stupid cartoons. Political cartoons are another matter and are part of democracy. Religion is private and should remain so. I have no sympathy for them! mzee (3324)

There's a slippery slope if ever I saw one!

Freedom of speech includes the ability to say anything to anyone at anytime. You start adding exceptions and soon we'll not be allowed to even think for ourselves in case we offend someone... There are no spoken or written words that are justification for anyone to go around killing people.

Zqwerty has it dead on in his post above. And I don't often find myself agreeing with him!!!
