This is stupid and uncalled for

Do any muslims like mayhem? (The band)
Cause they usually have pigs heads on stakes at gigs...

Its just a pig's head, stick in a bin liner and throw it away

I found a dead hedgehog in my garden once, it stunk i felt abit sick... but still
i just buried it peacefully

You can't really compare it to having someone leave a pigs head outside your house. To them its more than a bit of dead animal, its a deliberately offensive gesture. Its difficult to think of something that you might feel the same about without knowing your religion, beliefs etc, but its a bit like someone letting your tyres down or something, yes they are only a couple of tyres, easy to replace, but the point is someone made a special effort to slash each tyre on your car to try and annoy you... if you see what i'm getting at.

Having said that, they do make it easy for people to do things like this and they very often overreact.

Hmm pig head.

Alrighty, I'm going to put a dead pig head at the door of every non believer in this country, should take me some years but I'll get it done.

I just realised part of the problem, the media. I'm not talking about how the media portray Islam, I dont care about that. What I am talking about is the fact that Islam is every where in the news these days, every little story is being printed up. I think it provokes people, not just muslims but everyone. When some "incident" is displayed in the news that is being viewed by millions, whatever way the media spin it, it is going to annoy someone. I'd like to think that less media attention would mean less problems. I've been hearing that the war in the middle east has provoked more terrorism rather than decreasing it. I can understand that. When you attack something, pay attention to something, attract attention to something then its going to escalate.

I really dont think media coverage helps any of it. What do you guys think? I mean thats just my opinion.

And people are quick to blame the religion when I really believe that its the followers who are to blame. My religion says dont drink, dont smoke, no sex before marriage. If I was weak I'd break those rules, I'd justify my reasoning for doing those things. The problem is followers interpreting the words in the Quran either literally or forgetting that we live in the 21st century. Islam says to integrate into society while upholding your religious ways, THAT is what makes it a challenge and worth being part of.

Some people are lost, they are lost because they refuse to open their eyes. If the western laws have ways of dealing with criminals then you have to leave it to societies laws rather than taking it into your own hands.

No, it suggest that a small group (possibly as small as 1 person) doesnt like Muslims.

I struggle to see how you can extrapolate from that to the country as a whole....

I dont think that 1 person is alone, Just most people are afriad to voice there views incase it offends Islam or any anything based on that stupid religion.

You'd be suprised how this negative media is backfiring.

I'm not sure if you've noticed but a lot of muslims are starting to find their own Identity.

Roll on more bad press

Islam is worth being a part of because it is challenging to both uphold its religious ways and to integrate into British society?

Surely what is stupid is abstaining from sex, drinking or smoking not because of moral reasons, not because of health reasons, not because of personal preference but because your religion tells you to and you might upset your imaginary god :rolleyes:

I for one am sick of hearing about muslims if there not in the paper and the news its on here! Its so boring to read about them all the time when I couldnt care less about there "religion"
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

The report is so absurd it made me laugh - also coming from Newport I can understand how these spanners think

e.g. similar numbskulls vandalised a paediatrician's house thinking she was a paedophile

Probably best to ignore such actions or laugh them off tbh?

I still think the fundamental problem with Islam is that mohammed went into the desert and wrote the kuran from what was spoken to him from his god.

Who is this God, for all we know it could have been Daffy Duck / Mickey Mouse even Hitler.

fo a religon which began under these conditions it simply cannot be a good start.

The last time i asked that questioned, i was severly punished at a religion class i atteneded in Nigeria.
Iirc, he was in there for almost a while without eating or water....I suppose hullicination and seeing things happened as a result of low glucose/energy.

No we like to create mayhem rather than sing about it or create a group with that name

Islam has never been a religion you nut. It's only imaginary if your ignorance wishes to hold those views without any reasoning :rolleyes:
