But thats the thing...it hasnt driven any point home other than to antagonise muslims in general...geez you just DONT GET IT DO YOU???
Sorry about that, but that wasn't what the day was intended for. The whole point of the day was to hit back at the extremists who think they have the power to say whether or not we should be able to voice our opinions. They threatened people with death and violence over them and I'm sure you'll agree that isn't right. Yesterday was just to prove a point that people will not bow down to others, regardless of what they are threatened with.
You may think the people in this thread just ultimately hate Muslims, but that's not true. I mean, at the this moment in time in my life, the friends I hang around with everyday are nearly all Muslims. Of course I have no problem with them, they're awesome. The thing I do have a problem with is extremists thinking they can do put fear into people's lives just because they dislike something, and that was what the drawing day was for.
I found this the most amusing post yet. Any hindhu posters on here goin be offended and post 23490890 posts in a thread that now offends them and why everyone is racist and how the world is against them.
But hang on... you have just ridiculed Hinduism. Think before you type!
Let's be honest, Islam isn't one of the older, more respected religions. It's at the Johnny-come-lately, teenage, no one loves me, I hate you stage of development. Unfortunately the rest of the world has moved on leaving the Islamic countries as the most dangerous and unproductive countries on the face of this earth.
Please, someone tell me, what contributions have any Islamic country made to development in the world over the last 500 years. (Don't mention oil, that would still be under the ground if they were left to their own devices)
To be fair people of the Muslim faith have contributed greatly to Mankinds knowledge, be it mathematics, medicine, astrology etc. Do a quick Google of 'Muslim contribution to Civilization.'
I just think modern day Islam is clashing with modern society (free West) and is doing itself no favours in the process.

Ahem... now provide some proof of it!
What have they provided in the last 500 years? They have been overtaken by the world a long time ago and still insist that their way is right. Even though it is patently wrong.
Also, Islam clashes with everyone else that is not Islamic (and some that are), not just "The West"...

Why? It's the truth to me.
Or are you finding it difficult that I have Muslim mates and still think yesterday was right to happen?

Yes it has... it has hopefully made a lot of people think about our right to free speech and realise censorship isn't a good thing.
Remember, it's only a small percentage who threaten violence. Hopefully this will get other non-violent muslims to protest against such acts being tagged to their religion.
OH WAIT IT HAS!
I think what the Muslims in this thread have failed to grasp (besides Khaaan!) is that you have no right to impose your beliefs onto others. Yes you might find it offensive that people are drawing Mohammed, but this is legal in the uk and even though you are offended you cant stop people from doing something that is well within their rights.
Personally i feel the thread has been a little derailed. If the Muslims hadnt shown how offended they were by just the thought of pictures, then the torrent of pictures that appeared might not have happened.
I do appreciate that a lot of pictures are just offensive and have been posted just to rile Muslims, but by actually rising to the bait and getting more riled.. it just encourages more pictures. Be less judgemental, people will get bored and not focus on it.

+1
Shame that's the situation though. I think most people just took this as an opportunity to rile Muslims up a bit. No one HERE has literally been denied their right of expression directly, so why the need to go out of your way to "fight for it"?

Not the Islamic way though is it?
because it is hysterically funny that you can really upset some people by drawing a person with a turban and a beard and calling it mohammed?

And when you consider that Burnley, Bradford, Bolton, Leicester, Birmingham etc are full of people in pyjamas called Mohammed it's not obvious which Mohammed it is.
And before I get slammed for stereotyping Muslims, why do they stereotype themselves by putting Mo the Paedo somewhere in every kids name and using English as their second language even though they have been born in the UK?
You'll never understand Islam or the important of our prophet (pbuh). No point even trying to tell you.
Most of which are from at least 500 years ago, often more, and have nothing to do with Islam. They were Muslims, but the key factor in their contributions to human knowledge was that they were Arabs. It was Arabs who learned from ancient Greece and set the foundations for their home countries to become centres of learning, keeping and building on the knowledge of ancient Greece during the time in which it was mostly ignored in Europe. Islam didn't even exist at the time. When it did and gained enough power, it hindered Arabic scientific development in some ways, especially in medicine. It wasn't as bad as Christianity in that respect, but it's certainly inaccurate to credit it with those contributions to human knowledge.
I've even seen Islam credited with discoveries that occured before it existed.
It's expanding both in numbers of followers and in depth of control, so it doesn't seem to need the favours you refer to.
To continue the ongoing process of taking over the country, of course. Why else would they do it? The purpose is to impose a different rule, different culture, different language, different legal system, i.e. conquest. It's far more effective than attempting invasion.
Although "Mo the Paedo" is going too far unless you can substantiate it. Marrying a child isn't enough, because marriage amongst people with money and power was a completely different thing back then. It was often a political and business arrangement more than anything else. You can find examples of people being married before either of them were out of nappies - the marriage was between families and didn't really have anything to do with the individuals.

Because you're eating Bacon because it's tasty, your reasoning has nothing to do with Islam. However your motivation for drawing Mohammed is probably quite different. You're only doing it because it's taboo and will cause a reaction.
That's nice, but relatively speaking it's not important.
In this country, murder and censorship are far greater concerns than what drawings you might find offensive.
If you find it offensive, deal with it.
For one, the person who offended you might later change his mind and apologise. He could have course just be young or ignorant.
But even if he is malicious and wants to cause you distress... it's just an insult! It is not life-threatening.
We don't understand why you can't just... man up and deal with it!
Why should we have to adhere to your beliefs? We are not breaking any laws by not adhering to your faith, while at the same time this religion of peace is threatening extremeties such as murder??
Like it or not the USA and UK are classed as christian countries, if you want to live by sharia rule move to the middle east.
If any other religion be it chirstianity, judaism, hinduism held the same beliefs and reacted to something such as the south park ep with the same attitudes then im sure exactly the same reaction would be had.
People are simply not happy with "crackpot" religions trying to insight their beliefs and rules onto us.
A lot of people also seem very eager to play the racecard as a defence. Thats not on.
