Why do these religious nutjobs throw their toys out of the pram over a cartoon. ?

Its like the other year when the same variety of religious idiots spat the dummy out because someone called a TEDDY BEAR Mohamid .

 

These people really need to get a life and stop living it by what it says in some fictional comic. ( this applies to ALL religions)

 

These people in Niger, Mali etc. would never have seen such a cartoon.

 

They will have been whipped up by their leaders, most likely at Friday Prayers.

 

Their inter-tribal fighting has going on for decades, if not longer and this is just being used as another excuse for a bit of burning/killing/looting.

Are you saying they don't have access to the Internet in Niger, Mali etc?

Because there are no visual representations of the prophet Mohammed.

 

So, for a devoutly religious person, this would be a very shocking thing to see.

 

And very upsetting, I would imagine.

If people get upset by a cartoon there really is no hope for them.

If people get upset by a cartoon there really is no hope for them.

 

And if people cannot try to understand another persons point of view, penis, then there really is no hope for them

I can understand someone being offended by a cartoon of Mohammed.

 

I think it's stupid, and that they should grow up, but I understand it.

So can I

Agreed also

That's simply not true. Muslims have embraced images of the Prophet Mohamed throughout history — why are so many of them upset now?

That may be true for some muslims altus

 

But there are 1 billion muslims spread ALL OVER the world

 

And it is definitely not true for ALL of them

 

Most muslims have never seen a visual representation of Mo and the idea alone is shocking to them - go speak to muslims for yourself!

I was just pointing out that your statement that "Because there are no visual representations of the prophet Mohammed." was not true.

 

That some, perhaps even most, muslims are unaware of their religion's history is their deficiency not mine.
