You mean like when people here bash Christianity? Like when we see images of arabs on TV burning American flags? Sticks and stones, man... you have to learn to let that crap go. The offended muslims should just suck it up and realize that not everyone believes what they believe.jdschall said:
You mean like when they burn our flag,or when they chant kill the infidels, or how about when they bomb christian churches?? You don't see us charging their churches, attacking their embassies, and running through the streets with automatic weapons shooting into the air.jdschall said:
You guys do get a bit twitchy when people burn your flag.F.O.G said:

You think that justifies mass murder and an entire population behaving like raving lunatics? It's a freakin comic. They use that religion of theirs to justify all kinds of ass backward behavior, from oppression of women to religious persecution to mass murder and terrorism.jdschall said:
You don't see it? So you turn a blind eye to when we do it in Iraq, Afghanistan?F.O.G said:

You mean like when we didn't blow up a mosque when we knew full well that Al Zaquari (sp?) was inside???? That mosque should have been wipped from the map!! How many mosques have been destroyed by their own hands, since then??jdschall said:
It is out of hand, I agree. It's kind of like a poking a stick at a hornet's nest. They know they are going to come out mad as hell, yet for some reason they thought it was a good idea to keep poking at it. And now everybody are upset about their reaction? Where is the sense in that?F.O.G said:
I don't think it goes to far at all, but I read a letter to the editor of the paper that carried that cartoon from some people who did think so....valve bouncer said:Just out of interest how many of you think that this cartoon goes too far?
Yeah, free speech doesn't mean you are carte blanche to do whatever you want. I got the feeling that this Danish cartoonist was being a smartarse just for the sake of being a smartarse. Not that there's anything wrong with that, you've just gotta be careful who you piss off.jdschall said:
Actually I could give a rat's ass, if Muslims want to heat their homes with burning American flags then have at it. What I have a problem with is the hypocrisy of Muslims standing on American flag ashes and bodies of decapitated Americans whining about how they were disrespected.fluff said:
Chicken and egg, who disrespected whom first?Echo said:
I thought it was excellent, very biting in the best tradition of political cartoonists. The only small criticism I have is that I think it would have been just as effective if the soldier had have only been missing, say a leg instead of all his limbs. I can see how people might think it's over the top.Old Man G Funk said:

Muslims and the Arab world have PLENTY to be pissed of about, I personally think this is that anger manifesting itself over something relatively minor.Old Man G Funk said:
