Muhammad Cartoon Controversy (2 Viewers)

Re: Jihad Against Danish Newspaper

no it isn't...theres nothing in those cartoons that is obscene. it is just critical.
if i found the quran to be WRONG, then why should it be legal to publish it, if its wrong, and you can't, as you've said, print anything thats wrong?

I meant wrong as in rude, insulting, abusive not as in whether its correct as in a maths answer!

If u can find the quran to be wrong then it wouldnt have been published. It would have edited!

I am saying the cartoon has no purpose. Its like a porno magazine.

So, I could call this a picture of the prophet?

Re: Jihad Against Danish Newspaper

so what makes your beliefs, being religious, more important than my secular views?

Nothing, your views are protected as well. They can be criticised (respectfully) just like mine but I cant vilify anyone with similar views to you

well, we DO have somewhere in the neighborhood of 4 billion people agreeing its not the word of god.

and of those, how many believe that there own religious text is the word of god?

I can't wait until I go to res school. I'll be wearing my pro liberal t shirt around the campus, strutting my stuff. I might eat some babies infront of the Family First Activists group, just coz I can.

Re: Jihad Against Danish Newspaper

Yeah, I got called evil because I was a libertarian :S.

Uni students != intelligent.

intelligent = uni student

other way around.

no, that just called u being sad

But I'm being called scum for having a belief. So does that mean that calling you backward redneck pigs for being Muslim is fine, and you whinging about it is just being sad?

Re: Jihad Against Danish Newspaper

People at my school didn't care about politics either. Although they'd probably have voted Bec or Lleyton for Prime Minister.

ok
ur school is
dodgy
saying "noone cared about politics" in my school would be lie. Half the time in class we bag out the Jews, the other half we bag out JOhnny howard.

Yes it does.

Cartoon...Presents one person's opinion publicly, an opinion which may quite often be shared by others. "an often humorous or satirical drawing to evoke emotions, usually with a caption".

Porn magazine...satisfies some sexual need and may often relieve sexual tension

Argumentum ad populum.

Peaceful protests, yes. Riots are by their nature violent and cause property destruction.

there is a difference between calling one person one thing, and calling 1.3 billion people one thing and offending them at the same time

Re: Jihad Against Danish Newspaper

Please cease personal attacks on each other. Cartoons have purpose as do peaceful protests. Both however may escalate into violence reactions from either side of the debate which is what is happening on this thread.
