helian - yes, there are as many insulting remarks made about christian figures as you would like to see.
All made in complete safety.
That is freedom of speech.
Freedom of speech is not about being nice or not.
It's about saying what one feels to be the truth.
no.. freedom of speech is the right to express yourself and your beliefs, but when your expressing yourself in a way which oppresses others and incites violence or hate against them it goes beyond freedom of speech, it becomes incitement. your particular brand of free speech is not only inciting hatred, but completely without fact.

Try saying a few remarks agaisnt mohammad in a muslim country, see how malik reacts even here !!!!!!
i asked you not to insult the prophet muhammad pbuh, i didn't threaten to cut your head off or anything. at the time of the prophet many people insulted him, in fact when he went to the city of taif seeking refuge prior to the migration to madinah the people there hurled stones at him, he was bleeding so profusely from his injuries that the blood filled the sandals he wore.
but when he took the city after taking over mecca did he exact revenge? no..
after leaving the city, the angel gabriel came to the prophet muhammad pbuh and said for the injustice the inhabitants of taif had given him, he had ALLAH swt's permission to bring the two surrounding mountains together and crush them all should the prophet pbuh wish for that..
but instead of seeking the death of the inhabitants of taif, he prayed their children would accept islam.. and they did..

Malik, yes I have invited a number of muslims here to say their piece.
So was happy when you arrived.
I hope you notice I have not abused you.
Any comments I have made have been supported by a number of quotes and by comments by other muslims.
i honestly couldn't care what you would say of me, but when you insult my prophet you insult everything i believe in. we consider one's honour to be of paramount importance, reputation, chivalry, honesty and honour make up a major part of our lives. your slander of the prophet pbuh is incredibly offensive. that isn't free speech, that is slander of his name and i find it so abhorrent. how do you expect to have dialogue when you behave in such a despicable manner? your behaviour will only drive a wedge between us and breed animosity

If I'm badly mistaken, perhaps you could go to the extremists and show them where they have it wrong too?
oh yes, let me pick up my telephone and call osama right now.. because of course, being a muslim i must have his phone number, ill just dial..
*ring ring*
osama: allo?
me: assalaamu alaikumm ob1 how are u?
osama: wa alaikumm assalaam adz how are you? how is the family?
me: alhumdulillah fantastic osama, did you get the eid card i sent you last year?
osama: hey yeah i didn't receive it yet, u know, the mail up here in the caves are not so good.
me: ahh ok, well anyway ob1, the reason for my call is i just wanted to tell you that you have it all wrong, islam doesn't allow terrorism and killing innocent people.
osama: what?! are you serious? wow thanks for telling me adz.. boy is my face red! i'm so embarrassed!
now do you see how stupid what you said is sprint?

This is typical. Muslims say they encourage freedom of speeh and it is the religion of peace.
Query them about mohammad and whant is in the koran, and we all have it wrong !!
Query them some more and they pull out the underdog status or lose their rag entirely and insult us.
They will not accept any criticism.
What do the people of england and denmark think of the muslim culture there ?
you don't query anything about islam or muhammad pbuh, you ACCUSE and SLANDER them.. that is a great deal different than querying.
and yes.. you DO have it wrong, you haven't the faintest idea of what islam actually says.. you just get your facts from anti islam sites and the media, you dont sstudy anything from the sources.
