Eh, I understand that these abhorrent things have happened, and that they are indeed terrible.

However, trying to pretend that other religions extremist groups (or religions in general) have not committed murder over what they consider 'offensive' is laughable. Christianity has committed many, terrible crimes and acts of terrorism too.

Christianity isn't the only one. I don't think there is a single religion out there that hasn't committed some form of atrocity but hey - nowt beats a good muslamic bashing thread does it?

peace out.

Nobody has said they haven't.

But anything done by Christianity etc that is on a scale of what the current and recent Islamic attacks are was probably done over 500 years ago.

You cannot compare any other religion to doing atrocities like the ones we are seeing now, or in the past 100 years at least.

See my post above, and Islam has been doing it century after century to this day, since the early 620's i think?

Tell you whats pure lolz:

Programmes are edited or removed on almost a monthly basis on claims of 'anti-semitism' and 'anti-christian' sentiments.
[..]

Please provide at least half a dozen comparable(*) examples in order to show that you're not just making stuff up for the purposes of propaganda.

If what you claimed is true you should have no trouble providing half a dozen examples, or even 100 examples (which would only be ~10 years worth if your statement was true).

I think you're making it up.

* By comparable, I mean a mistake with no intention to offend as opposed to, for example, a cartoon of the Christian trinity having a threesome. Which, by the way, was not edited or removed. Nor did it result in Christians murdering random strangers as part of a campaign to destroy civilisation and replace it with brutal theocratic tyranny.

I'm trying to work out why showing a page from the Quran is Islamophobia

No1newts · 27 Jul 2016 at 18:13

Anyone stupid enough in this day and age to get so offended over a bit of paper needs their head checked out, more proof that religion is the cancer of mankind.

And if I ever travel centuries back in time that would be relevant to me.

It's true that religions in general are dangerous. But Islam is the only one that's a significant danger in the present and for the foreseeable future.

Hiijinx · 27 Jul 2016 at 18:27

So you can't...

Talk about Mohammed
Show the Quran
Show Pictures of Mohammed
Mention Islam and terror in the same sentence

Without being branded an islamaphobe?

No wonder we are tetchy towards one another!

The Qur'an is considered to be so Holy that Muslims treat it with enormous respect.

While It is being read:

• You must not speak
• You must not eat or drink
• You must concentrate quietly.

It is not to be touched unnecessarily. Before reading it or touching it:

• You must wash thoroughly
• You must be in the right frame of mind and have good intentions
• You must seek refuge in God from satan's wicked intentions
• Women should be clear from menstruation.

Upon completion of its recitation one should conclude the session with certain phrases, at least stating that the Exalted God speaks the Truth, His Blessings be upon Muhammad (SA) and his kinsfolk. But normally, a longer prayer is recited.

When not being recited, it should be:

• Placed high up, so that nothing is put on top of it
• Kept covered with a light cloth to shield it from dust.

What ? Like in these moments of quiet concentration ?

It's either sacred or just another book - can't be both unless Islam bends everything to suit itself.

Looks like Muslims can ignore the Quran rules, but no-one else can ?

I wonder if any firemen slipped helping with the clean up after the event

HEADRAT · 27 Jul 2016 at 19:11

No normal person would be offended but I'm sure there's a crew of mad ISIS loving loonies ready to snuff out Norman Price (or any other helpless character real or otherwise) to show that infidel how brave they are!!

zoomee · 27 Jul 2016 at 19:16

I'd give you guys a list as long as my arm but you still wouldn't believe it and will almost certainly dismiss my efforts. So no, I'm not going to spend the next hour going through anti-christianity or anti-semitic stuff to filter it out for you guys.

I'm not stupid - most of the people posting asking for examples are well known christians here - "oh I can't find anything other than three movies" - Heard of the ABC TV show called "christian belle" that was banned? Another example for you.

What I will point out is like I said - Christians and Jews easily take offence too. The example I can give of them quickly is:

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/m...nding-christians-after-30-people-9170020.html - claims kfc is offending christians.

Mention the word Israel and watch how jews trip over themselves to call you jew-haters, and anti-semitic as the prime example on that front (no examples needed - see Will21st's post a couple of pages back for evidence).

Go educate yourselves without wearing your biased goggles.

Xordium · 27 Jul 2016 at 19:20

You're correct zoomee it doesn't take much for the anti-semitic card to be played and it is played far too often. Yes, what happened in WW2 was abhorrent but it does not excuse the persecution of Palestinians.

I'd rather get rid of all religion tbh it does nothing good whatsoever.

Still no examples then? Lol

Having just seen the clip in question this is one of the most pathetic 'outrages' ever.

d_brennen · 27 Jul 2016 at 19:22

30 people complaining about an advert is hardly comparable. They're probably the same moral crusaders who get offended on behalf of every group and they certainly won't be taking to social media calling for blood to be spilt

E: or actually go out and commit vile acts against the "infidels"
