May 20 is ‘Everybody Draw Mohammed Day’

[Amnesia]

I think we realise that the front is interpreted as better with just a pinch of common sense can't we?
If there's no difference why distinguish?

The back is better for women as their backsides wont get stared at when they pray.
The front is better for men as they wont be distracted by womens behinds when they are praying.
Whats hard to understand ?

When u attack Black people, they call it racism.When you attack Jewish people, they call it anti-semetism. When you attackwomen, they call it sexism. When you attack homosexuality, they call it intolerance. When you attack your Country, they call it treason. When you attack a religious sect they call it hate. But when they attack the Prophet Mohammed they call it freedom of speech.

lol.

This sort of attitude is what irriates me about Islam. Does it honestly feel that the sight of a womans backside is going to distract me so much? Or the sight of a womans face/hair/whatever it is you have decided to cover? It seems to treat all men as sex starved lunatics that will rape a woman at the sight of a bit of bare flesh. Frankly it is insulting.

You can attack Islam without attacking muslims you know. No belief system should be free from robust criticism. Not to mention that all your previous examples you are "attacking" someone currently alive. Drawing pictures of someone 1400 years dead is not going to harm them in the slightest. Not to mention that once again you conveniently ignore that the Draw Mohammed Day is a reaction to previous events. I would say drawing cartoons, no matter how offensive, is considerably less a problem than rioting and threatening to kill people. Wouldn't you?

... except no-one is "attacking" mohammed

someone drew a lame cartoon of mohammed, and it had a strange effect on muslims - they over-reacted, massively

then, non-muslims became offended by this overly self-righteous response and decided to demonstrate by baiting muslims with threads like this

The solution is simple.

Don't threaten our tv and we won't mock your religion.

Also i don't remember anyone crying hate over all the other religious leaders who have been ripped on by south park.

 

[bazaarboy]

To criticise a person for their race is manifestly irrational and ridiculous but to criticise their religion, that is a right. That is a freedom.
The freedom to criticise ideas, any ideas - even if they are sincerely held beliefs - is one of the fundamental freedoms of society.

When u attack Black people

People think you're an arse.

you attack Jewish people,

most people don't care

When you attackwomen

Serves her right for being out the kitchen... I mean most people don't care.

When you attack homosexuality

A few laugh a few think you're an arse.

When you attack your Country

Most people ignore you and your soapbox

When you attack a religious sect

No one cares.

But when you speak out against Islam

You get shot 8 times, stabbed twice and left to die in the street.

I see humour and comedy about all those races and religions on tv etc. The only one in that list you don't is Islam. That's because if Frankie boyle did a joke about Islam like he does about catholicism or Judaism he would no doubt get death threats the BBC would be subject to threats from Muslim nutjobs as well.

Stop making out you are the only ones to get mocked, you ain't.

The drawing day **** was a collective 2 fingers to the nutters.

I expect a post or 2 more before our Muslim posters say "LOL IM OUT YOU GUYS ARE STUPID". Only u never go you continue to post and lurk around the thread picking at it like a scab.

Cheers Tefal, was about to have a bit of a rant but that covers most of what i was going to say.

Roffles...best explanation so far and quite funny too...hats off to you Mr Amnesia


But as funny or hilarious as that is....its a damn good explanation as to why women stand at the back when praying with men.

My views on Islam, 'respecting beliefs', and religion in general have been altered considerably by 'Everybody Draw Mohammed Day'. At first I felt people were just being cruel because 'they could', but I have come to understand and somewhat agree with the reasons behind the cruelty. The cruelty is not aimed at the average Muslims (who are generally nice), but to those fanatic/extremist/fundamentalist who have bullied their way to become the face of Islam in the worlds eyes. It's a big middle finger up at those bullies, to say you can take your death threats and shove 'em, we're not having it, and at the same time it's a rude awakening to the average Muslim, to say they need take responsibility for who they allow to represent them in the world arena.

Ermmm yes otherwise there would be no rule regarding that...you might find it insulting but none of my muslim friends, relatives ie aunts and cousins nor does my mum find it insulting that islam has these rules....they are there for a reason...to stop a man from being DISTRACTED when praying...works for me.

 

[FoxEye]

Try praying with your eyes closed? Would seem to be a simpler solution

 

[Yas786]

Ermmm for muslims Muhammad existed...thats the point you continue to miss....he may not exist for you as your not muslim yourself but to sit there and tell another muslim with conviction that he didnt exist isnt exactly the best way to make things better between muslims and non muslims.

But lets not go there shall we??...seeing as i cannot prove that he existed and neither can you prove he didnt exist without solid proof....its like proving God exists....there isnt any solid proof god exists but neither is there solid proof that God doesnt exist.

 

[Yas786]

Well for a blind person its ideal but im not blind...anyhow its the temptation to look thats the thing here...not the fact that a man will have those thoughts at all....he may or may not have those thoughts but the fact that temptation exist is the important thing.

 

[FoxEye]

So because a few men might be lacking in self control... all women should be wrap themselves up to the point of being totally unrecognisable.

And you wonder why people think "lol, Islam".

Sadly your logic is flawed because the average muslim has felt insulted at this mockery...simple as that and to think that it will improve relations between muslims and non muslims remains to be seen but ill take a wild guess that it probably wont improve relations...you want the average muslim now to stand up and condemn terrorist/extremist acts?? but after all this official draw a mohammad day, i think you will find things will have pretty much changed and a lot of muslims probably wont sympathise with you anymore should any bombings etc take place....i mean its great that you all decided to collectively stick a finger up at the extremists/terrorists but at the same time you also stuck a finger up to the average muslim...

Me?? personally i dont really care if someone draws a picture of our prophet....its really no skin off my nose...i find it pathetic and somewhat insulting but ill be damned if i have the time to go out and make death threats to people who drew pics of him....i wouldnt get any work done thats for sure
