Freedom of speech in The AnswerBank: People & Places

Islam is some 600, rather than 200, years younger than Christianity. It might make sense, therefore, to think of how Christians may have reacted to provocation in 1406 rather than 2006. Have a Google to find out what sorts of things were going on then!

I Don't know who said it, but its my favourite phrase, and sums up how it used to be in this country before pc. 'I may not like what you've said, but i'll defend to the death your right to say it'.

As for religion being forced on people. the first was Judaism, which, after establishing their kingdom in Caanon, (remembering that it was God who gave them a country that was already owned be someone), went on a small empire building spree, and converted people by the sword.

Then Christianity came along, and lo and behold, Christians started converting people by the sword.

Muslims, (which I have no love for), are just doing what the others did,.

It really comes down to people wanting what others have got, and exerting what power they have over their own, and others.

I do not have faith in any religion, and cannot see why anybody would.

Believing in a non entity seems as ridiculous as a grown person believing in santa claus or the tooth fairy. Surely all religion is based on lies and propaganda.

For people to demonstrate over a cartoon image is pure madness, especially in the eyes of an atheist llike myself.

However, I am not convinced that the muslim riots are to do with their religion being disrespected, butmore to do with their race and world domination.

This cannot be the way foward, surely??

Dagman

If there were a 'god' (i couldn't care less) then surely this entity would look at it's followers and say "just what do you think you're doing? you weren' created to muck about like this, it's not what I wanted of you.....etc!" I could go on but frankly I'm sick to the back teeth of people spoiling my atheist world with threatening visions. This is the only life I will ever have, I've done nothing to you, I'm not responsible for your situations. I follow no god for you to label me with. Go away! aaah that's better! 'course won't have any effect on 'em! And no, I'm not picking on any particular faith before you twist it back!

Dagman, I to have no particular love of faith as I had to go to church every sunday as a youngster, my parents were devout catholics but it didn't do them any good as the both died young.

My beef was (and I didn't make it known when I posted the question) is if they want to kill and behead us all because of some bloody cartoons why don't they **ss of the Iraq or Afganistan and help there so called brothers OH I FORGOT they wouldn't recieve their benefits over there would they.

Fair assumption brachiopod considering the one dressed as a suicide bomber was out on licence, and the life the radical hamza was living and his family still are.

dohnutdic

I agree with astodog, majority of them are on benefits, they know how to get as much from them as possible. Thats the only reason they come to our country in the first place, and the only thing keeping them here since they hate it so much.
