Re: Attempt to Kill Danish Cartoonist Who Outraged Muslim World Foiled
No need to apologize, but yeah, you took my comments wrong. Based on what you said here we agree.Yet Jesus has been shown in excrement, the Virgin Mary as a whore and countless other examples of anti Christian depiction in what some claim is "art" yet there isn't a single incident that comes even close to the scale of attacks by a single string of cartoons about Mohammad.. If you truly understood Islam you would understand that it is the religion that calls upon Muslims to act out in violence to a perceived threat by "unbelievers".
Mohammad himself as he was dying claimed anyone who entered the city of Constantinople and captured it in the name of Islam would see him in heaven. He began his religion by attacking a Jewish tribe for not converting. He attacked caravans for supplies to continue his war of conversion. For its first 400 years Islam attacked and conquered Iran, Iraq, Constantinople, Egypt and Saudi Arabia and into Southern Spain long before the first Crusade. Fundamentalist Muslims are simply following the teachings in the Qur'an.
Now if you agree with that then your statement does make sense but when you responded you seemed to me to be arguing against what I was saying. If you were not, I apologize.
