DaFoot Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 We see plenty of self proclaimed athiests having a go at Christianity on the forum all the time, but as soon as Muslims (what ever the faction) do it everyone gets upset... go figure.

I think its more to do with the fact that its been done by a group who are known (though a minority) to stir trouble. Also that the poster itself has not been thought out properly- alot of those 'evils' can affect many ppl including some who will call themselves muslims if asked what faith they subscribe to. Is the originator of this public stunt suggesting rape,alcohol,drugs, debt etc does not affect muslims? I accept practicing muslims may well be able to resist some of those temptations (as most ppl of other faiths would) but it does not make them immune to them.

mj.scuba Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 I'm an atheist and even I find these offensive! poster hate campaign If it was anti-Islam posters being put up with words of such venom, there would probably be riots on the streets, the people putting them up arrested for inciting hatred, and condemned here in much, much stronger terms.

If the situation were reversed then yes, the Muslims would be having purple fits as was the case with the cartoon saga, but that's just the way they are - they come from primitive cultures and behave as though they were still in the third world. It's just that they have a different way of expressing their passions. Many of us, me included, might be tempted to pen a sternly-worded letter to somebody if we felt really vexed on a subject, while our Muslim immigrant cousins would rather burn effigies and demand deaths. Just a culturally different way of expressing displeasure I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not having a go at Christianity though. He's having a go at everybody that celebrates Xmas. Which makes him a delusional, misery worshipping, idiot.

Not upset about the fact they are having a go at Christmas and Christianity. More about the fact they are claiming 'In Islam we are protected from all of these evils" such as teenage pregnancy (not really an evil) and rape - which is clearly balls. Apparently "Islam is the only way to avoid this". Pfft. Try just not raping people. Simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
