You are required to remove these cartoons, as insult to Mohammed , else you are liable to have your head removed.

Perfectly understandable.

Emma, The prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is dearer to us than our own mothers. Therefore any mock, ridicule, disrespect of him we take quite seriously.

Obviously Western culture has gone down a road where such things are no longer held sacred, but do you think that's really been a turn for the best?

So you think all the lack of respect for pretty much everything that younger generations in this country have is all worth it?

No I don't think that Abu.... respect is important, very important ..if people want to live together.
Along with politeness and manners, they help to rein-in our tendencies to precipitate action.
In other words, think before you act, whether that action is physical or verbal.

Now, our youth...like youth the world over, must deal with a world unlike ours.. and they know the hypocrisy of religious, by the access they now have to information. Lots and lots of fast information.

And they are smart.  They process information differently.
I don't condone their lawlessness, but I sort of understand.

BECAUSE they get to see the stuff going down all over,  they have none of the certainties in their lives, that you do, thru your religious beliefs, or I do, thru the experiences of a life.... and my certainties have nothing to do with God.

Nothing.... I have thought, even as a young child , that religion was a real problem for people, in their lives. I never wanted to be them, and have never even been tempted. 

So I have very few certainties... ...  but I've learned to live with it.

Most of the youth of today face the same challenge I did.  They see nothing worthwhile arising from religion. 
It isn't real, and they don't buy it.  Unless of course, they are unable to handle their freedom, and seek comfort from an all-knowing God.  Whatever you wish to call Him.

And I capitalise out of respect.
BUT   
the One God surely should have all adherents loving and respecting others who have this belief. 
Even if they use other words.

SURELY...!!!  the only way RELIGION can gain any real credibility for the non-believers, is for the adherents TO BE AS ONE.


This is not the reality, and this is why religions no longer command the respect their adherents feel is fitting.

Simply, RELIGION doesn't live up to it's advertising.!!!

So

I am saying that religion is in truth, well past its use by date.  That it continues to exert such an influence in daily affairs is ..well, anachronistic,  ...

But perhaps that means that WE

Homo Sapiens Sapiens  are also past our use by date.

If you look at what we have done to this planet, and our fellow homo sapiens ..we are plainly savages, incapable of rising above our prehistoric imperatives.

However..!!there is hope...if not for us particularly.

As animals in a changing environment, we continue to evolve and adapt,  and there are already 'new' humans amongst us.

Hopefully, we'll go the way of the dinosaurs.. and a better creature will rise in our place.

Media 'coverage' of the Sydney protests was a bit like this I think.

Don't think I'll bother with this thread any further.

Don't like the censorship.

Recommend you watch SBS now.... the history of Jerusalem.

Just up to where the Moslems give it to Frederick, ......

an amazing history again.

The reason why this protest went differently from every other was because the muslims did a flash mob and ran to the US consulate. They must have been told, invade the US consulate at all costs, so a minimal police contingent also sprinted out of the mall to guard the MLC centre.

And it was because the muslims kept hurling themselves at the cops to get into the MLC centre, ie the US consulate that there was trouble. Russia Today was there to cover a protest to support Julian Assange, and went to the MLC Centre, where the US consulate is housed. Note there are about 8 brave cops facing off against 100s of muslims until the cavalry arrived. If those uniforms from the patrol in the mall did not get their and hold the line, Australia would have had the embarrassing experience of muslims being in the foyer of the MLC Centre smashing things up on television.



I dont respect your prophet, and I dont care if you're offended.
