The Arab world is experiencing the first tremors of a youthquake
No work, bad schools, restless youth — it's a recipe for disaster (nuff said)
Millions missing from PA coffers (crappy leadership)
Why did the Egyptian ferry sink? (crappy infrastructure)
USS Cole attack mastermind escapes (gonna piss off a few in the west with this one)
Danish consulate in Beirut ablaze in cartoon row (crappy sheeple overreacting)
Paul Comrie-Thomson: Why religion can be a laughing matter (if you choose to live in a western country, do yourself a favor and develop a sense of humor)
Some see gov't roles in cartoon protests (lashing out at the west sure takes the heat off of crappy government, right?)
And then there is this. Soooo, western gorvernments are supposed to take some heat while deflecting the well deserved heat off of the Saudi government fuckups?
What the media is not saying
I really was upset about the cartoons. Why make such cartoons when they are infactual and false?
ReplyDeleteIf people really read about the prophet peace be upon him they would realise he was a mercy to mankind.
Moreover, as Muslims we aren't allowed to draw pictures of Prophets, furthermore, we aren't meant to disrespect someone elses religion. We respect all prophets, Moses, Abraham, Jesus, so why not respect our dear Prophet?
You misssed my point. I think it is incredibly arrogant for Muslims to expect Westerners to obey Islamic law, when most of them don't understand it. Besides, this incident takes the heat off of the Saudi and Egyptian governments for their failures, doesn't it? They baited you, you bit.
ReplyDeleteAnd blasphemy is not punishable by death in most western countries. Look, if the cartoonist was intentionally inflammatory, that is wrong. If this is being used as a political tool by some Middle Eastern governments, that is also wrong.
