[...] Japan please do something stupid and/or controversial again, so that I may regurgitate yet another pseudo editorial and pretend to be a wise [...]

Everyone talks about Islam as if they’re experts. You talk about Muslims as if they’re wild berserk animals and killing machines, and then they label them as “Terrorists” or “extremists”.
Muslims are oversensitive because they have been targeted. Naturally, they should be that way. I mean, i haven’t heard myself about extremism untill US involvement in the Gulf war. before that, have you?
Islam world is pretty large, the mid east, the so unstable-unpredictable region of the earth. and then you talk about everyone not wanting the Jews and decide to force them in “palestine” and slaughter some 100′s thousands of Muslims for your convenience (germany, canada; since they rejected jews refugees, and then UK).

There is no justification in taking innocent lives, whatsover. But, when those muslims fell into despair and realized they’re targeted they took an act of disperation and just blew themselves up causing collateral or whatever. (terrorist attacks, all over the world now..)
to them, its justified.

Dont be part of the problem or whats causing an escallation to it, dont criticize, try finding the solution and reason.

Lets take Denmark for an example, those toons, really pissed off all those ppl who respect their religion, they call it freedom of something, but hey what happened to respecting all those 1. some billion muslims!

If you’re to put someone’s work in ur paper they’d call it plagiarism! and you’re severely punished. You have to use quotations and etc..

But if you use a verse of “kuraan” in ‘this case’ in an anime then there absulotely nothing wrong with it. where is the sense in that.

I wouldnt take it as an offince, but atleast i can understand what is the Muslims point.

so afterall, just a bit of consideration and courtesy wont hurt, and it would save up this whole headache!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Of course, of course. Hitler’s plan was to get the economy out of a depression and to take back stolen land. And how did he do it? Murdering 12 million innocents who had nothing to do with either of those issues? Just because any problem can be justified doesn’t mean the justification is legitimate.

So are you. You have no power, no influence. You are irrelevant, yet you are trying to spread out propaganda about bad things about other religion and stuff. You are no better than the extremist, who also spread out propaganda about bad things about other people. These are the main cause of distortion of peace.

The people are the religion. Its a manmade idea, not some kind of physical thing with an independent will.

And your muslim friends still dont matter at all. They have no power, no influence. They are irrelevant.

That’s what i am telling you, as you do not know the truth behind religion. It’s not the religion (you have said Islam is dangerous religion), it’s the people. The danish media have caused misunderstanding and they are part to blame for the mass too.

And I’m not defending their acts for brutality. It’s just that the way you put is making the whole lot of muslim look bad. I have muslim friends and they are not as what you describe. What you are describe is only happen in the middle east, and as you can see, middle east is much to corrupted to even defend their religion.

And no, I’m gonna live my own lives and stand up to what i believe.

The extremists are the ones with actual political influence and control over the religion. They are the ones with money. They are the ones who represent it. They are the ones who made many countries stop trading with us. And they are dangerous.

Unless you wanna live under a totalitarian political system as dictated by their religion, you really ought to stop defending them.

Are you sure nothing is done to the drawing? There are peaceful negotiation before to stop publishing of the drawing, yet the danish newspaper does not comply, saying as the so called reason you have explained. Humans these days are thick-headed.

However, my main point is this; No religion is dangerous, including Islam, Christian and others. It people like the extremist and political leaders, (or maybe you) are making the things dangerous, with their so called political right. You all see others as a hostile and try to influence others with those kind of thinking. Religion is not the blame for this mess.

And I’m not making stuff. Which part of the country that demands apologies in form of death threat and stuffs? It’s a small group, usually run by extremist leaders . Try asking a proper country like malaysia, all they did is just boycott danish products. As I was saying, it’s the people making the religion looks dangerous.
