Israeli filmmaker in hiding after anti-Islam movie sparks deadly Libya, Egypt protest

Re: Israeli filmmaker in hiding after anti-Islam movie sparks deadly Libya, Egypt pro

If we could get everyone who owns a computer to draw a few pictures of Muhammad and post them all on the same day - that'd pretty much expose this muslim radicals gone wild excuse.

What is wrong with you?

You'll have to be much more specific. :mrgreen:
 
Re: Israeli filmmaker in hiding after anti-Islam movie sparks deadly Libya, Egypt pro

He's not an Israeli. He's a Coptic Christian Egyptian con man and fraudster...


yes... you are right ...and how dissapointed many are right now .... too bad for them!;)

What is wrong with you?

It's kinda like the proliferation of the word nigger, in pop culture.


When NWA started using the word in every other verse of their music, and then every other black person started using it as a term of endearment, and so on and so forth, the word lost a lot of it's ability to hurt, and therefore, much of it's power. It's intent became muddled, and it's purpose changed.

Do the same thing with anything else highly offensive or insulting to others, around the world, and before you know it, people will no longer be so offended by things of that nature...they will simply accept the reality that not everyone believes as they do, and that, as a result, not everyone holds the same values, the same morals and principles, and through that, violence over those things WILL reduce.

What is the PURPOSE for insulting the prophet or Islam?

Is it something that you need to do?

I spent a great deal of time in the ME.. and I never felt the need to do so.

Ironic that the same knuckleheads that will kill people because they feel their religion was insulted have no problem insulting people of other religions.

There has to be something wrong with a religion that can spark this type of outrageous action.

Even though you didn't respond to me with this, now I get why you posted what you did to me in response. To clarify, my suggestion wasn't aimed at moderate Muslims who understand they live in a world populated by people who do not always believe as they do - God shine his blessings on every single one of them. It was to expose the radicals who are largely using their religion (your religion?) to do ugly, ugly things.

You know one of the good things about the Piss Christ? It exposed all the [supposed] Christian nutbars to the light of the public. I'm all for those Westboro types being front and center in the news, we know where they are and what they're doing and can distance ourselves and our faith from them.

I have never heard any Muslim insult or mock Jesus either.. Muslims don't insult any of the Patriarchs like Moses, Noah, Abraham etc...

Piss Christ was picketed and vandalised by Christians on its various European and Australian exhibits.. and finally destroyed by Christians in Italy in 2011.

Re: Israeli filmmaker in hiding after anti-Islam movie sparks deadly Libya, Egypt pro

Are you serious?

He made a really vulgar movie about the prophet to incite Muslims and blames it on Israelis.

That's pretty damned low down.


I found the movie quite humorous and actually somewhat like a Monty Python skit about religion.

But since you are now on record that YOU personally believe Mohammed was/is a "prophet," combined with your other messages, I guess you also want him assasinated too as a loyalty to your Allah.

I don't believe Mohammed was a prophet, but instead was a tribal warlord attacking trade expeditions and then empire building by military conquest. Just another warmonger in a human history of warmongers declaring God was on his side to ignorant people like nearly all warmongers did and do.

The stances and practices of the religion of Islam in many parts of the world as presented in the movie is accurate, as are how selected exact quotes of Mohammed in the Koran.

Mohammed was a messenger to the people of the Arabian peninsula who preached "return to the God of Abraham".. I'm Christian so he's not MY prophet, but to Muslims he is a prophet.

Want WHO assassinated? What are you talking about?

It's actually just the people who live in, or come from a very volatile region of the world.
 
Re: Israeli filmmaker in hiding after anti-Islam movie sparks deadly Libya, Egypt pro

We all knew it wouldn't do any good for this guy to go into hiding...the Feds have outed him.

US Identifies Anti-Muslim Filmmaker Blamed for Attacks « CBS DC

They make a habit of this kind of stuff. Like when they outed that Pakistani Doctor. Now that guy is in jail. This guy could get killed.

Not sure which one is getting the better deal.

Both of them, I'm sure, regret their involvement with the U.S. Government.
 
Re: Israeli filmmaker in hiding after anti-Islam movie sparks deadly Libya, Egypt pro

My reigion? I'm Episcopalian.

So you're like arguing as if you were a Muslim? Is some twisted form of religious guilt? You have a problem with exposing the abusers and those who use religion for an excuse to commit violence? You believe everyone in the world should automatically respect YOUR religious customs, even when they don't adhere to your religion?

I don't get where you're going with this? To atheists Christ was just a man (maybe even nonexistent) and Muhammed was a child molesting liar who made up tales to the gullible in order to gain power. To some Christians, Muhammed was in league with the devil. To some Muslims, all Christians are infidels to be dispatched and.or used as needed.

The point is we live in a world where people have differing spiritual beliefs. But a common thread in most teaching is that violence will not bring us closer to God.

The guy is out on Parole for financial crimes and meth production.. He's not supposed to use the internet.
 
Re: Israeli filmmaker in hiding after anti-Islam movie sparks deadly Libya, Egypt pro

Does that mean that the entire Christian community is responsible for the actions of the Ku Klux Klan or the Arian Nation? Are all Catholics responsible for the behavior for the Catholics in Ireland who are feuding with the Protestants? Are all Protestants responsible for their side of that conflict? Are all Christians responsible for the language being used by the Tea Party?

As I posted out before, it was white Christians that crippled the ku klux klowns.

As to comparing the Tea Party to Islamofacists, I'm not going to entertain such stupidity.

Don't be absurd. I have never argued as if I were a Muslim.. but I did live in the ME and I know more about Islam than many Americans or American Christians.

I respect their faith because they have always respected mine and that of my family. friends and classmates.

Novel concept, huh?

Actually Mohammad was supposedly descended from Ishmael (first born son of Abraham). So from one son was born Christianity (Issac) and the other Islam (Ishmael). Christ is a prophet in Islam, however, Mohammad is not considered a prophet in Christianity.

You've already proven you don't and yes, you were arguing as if you were a Muslim and would be so nose out of joint if folks did something terrible like drawing pictures of Muhammad.

They were just being polite. They didn't want to tell you that they thought of you an infadel and therefore nothing more than the crap on the heel of their shoe.

Go to Egypt and see how much they respect you.

Yes, I do know a great deal about Islam, but I didn't learn it on hate sites .. and I would NEVER insult Mohammed or their faith.

When I lived in the ME, it was pretty obvious that I was an American and a Christian, so WHY in h*ll would I do or say anything that would make Christians or Americans look bad?
