Two Shot at Muhammad Art Exhibit [W:439, 529, 978, 1489]

Re: Shooting at Muhammad Art Exhibit in Texas

No. Talking of provocation, you believe that the action of an anti-Muslim group which puts on a public event where participants draw pictures of Mohammed is provocative?

What's wrong with protesting an overt hate group like Islam?

“Muslims are the vilest of animals…”

“Show mercy to one another, but be ruthless to Muslims”

“How perverse are Muslims!”

“Strike off the heads of Muslims, as well as their fingertips”

“Fight those Muslims who are near to you”

“Muslim mischief makers should be murdered or crucified”
 
Re: Shooting at Muhammad Art Exhibit in Texas

I disagree - they deliberately offended and provoked the entire Muslim world, and they knew it.

**** the entire Muslim world, they should be banned from entering the US and the West in general.

And thats their right. The "entire Muslim world" can go pound sand, at least here in the US. Perhaps things are seen differently in west sussex but thats not my problem.

At least you don't pretend to hide your hatred of all American Muslims I guess.
 
Re: Two Shot at Muhammad Art Exhibit in Texas

Actually the attackers were shot by police who was present. I don't see how this incident can be used either way in the discussion on the right to bear arms.

Just an attitude thing. Although the pair of doctors who tried to car bomb Glasgow airport and suceeded in setting themselves on fire found that the attitude in Glasgow includes stamping on the groin of a man who has set himself on fire just to make sure he gets the message, as he dies.

How much safer is the world now that those idiots are not practicing medicine?

I dont hate anyone-but if they are Americans they will respect the rights, natural or otherwise of this nation.

It might be hard for our forumites from the UK or commonwealth nations to grasp this, but you know what they say about pounding sand.

Re: Shooting at Muhammad Art Exhibit in Texas

Being offended is not a call to violence. No freedom should be trampled to oblige one group of people.Although something like this inevitable knowing the nature of extremist , I think they did extremely well with only the casualties being those who would commit terrible acts. It does show that American citizens will not be pushed around.

We like our culture and nation and the people and culture that founded it, if they do not like it they need to leave...

It also shows how ignorant and pathetic part of the American population is, that they actually held such an even in the first place. This event was nothing but a provocation pure and simple. The people involved are known racists and extremists and are no better than the radicals of Islam or Christianity and wanted a reaction of some kind. I bet if there was no reaction their next step would be to burn the Koran in public.... just to piss off people around the world.

And no it does not excuse violence against these morons... both sides are idiots and frankly should be fully ignored as we cant throw them in jail or on an island where they can beat each other to death.
 
Re: Shooting at Muhammad Art Exhibit in Texas

Razed, not raised. At least Muslim Americans can spell...

Well... let's not go getting ahead of ourselves...

I dunno. The one I served with in the navy was seriously smart. Great guy too.

You've only known one Muslim?

Not entirely if showing something and depicting something to stir controversy is not always pathetic and ignorant as it can be the best way to bring light of an issue .

......... Tangent time ...... .........
People are allowed to do this and rightfully so. Nothing is infallible and beyond criticism even someones religious beliefs. A mere drawing for and depiction is no reason to do violence.
 
Re: Shooting at Muhammad Art Exhibit in Texas

possibly but you don't have to be conservative to despise Islam

hell you don't even have to despise Islam to draw Mohamed

and I guess I should add you don't have to despise Islam to be a non Muslim conservative

I think you're missing the point, or I am... seem he was saying that our extreme conservatives (whose values are actually pretty damned close to the extreme Islamists) are into killing each other. We take armies and drones to kill them, they endeavor to kill ours through more individual means, but they are all out to kill each, the extreme religious right wing Christians, and the extreme religious right wing Muslims.

So you see no difference between somebody voicing an opinion of view you find distatesteful and offensive and somebody trying to kill someone? I do see a big difference.

No man is an island. Dialogue is the way forward.

Re: Two Shot at Muhammad Art Exhibit in Texas

Two shot dead outside Muhammad Art Exhibit in Garland

This was at a facility in Garland, Texas, near Dallas.

I gather this was an exhibit of artwork that depicts Muhammad, a la Charlie Hebdo, in defiance of radical Muslims and in affirmation of freedom of speech.

Two guys drove up armed with guns and explosives, opened fire, and were killed straight away by return fire.

It's a bad idea to go gunning for any group of Texans without a lot of firepower.

:lol: I love this story. "ISIS Learns There Are Such Things As Non-Gun-Free-Zones In The West"

The word is "tenet" FYI
 
Re: Shooting at Muhammad Art Exhibit in Texas

While the morons in Texas were wrong to desecrate another religion seemingly for kicks, they still have the right to do it, and to respond to it with violence (as these attackers did) is way, way wronger. Come on, people. Stop making excuses for violent extremists.

On a side note, to a certain poster in thread (I think we all know who) -- wasn't nice knowing you.
 
Re: Shooting at Muhammad Art Exhibit in Texas

I disagree - they deliberately offended and provoked the entire Muslim world, and they knew it.

Uh? "The entire Muslim world"?
I highly doubt it that the entire >1.5 billion Muslim world feels provoked every single time someone out there draws a picture of Mohammad.

It also shows how ignorant and pathetic part of the American population is, that they actually held such an even in the first place. This event was nothing but a provocation pure and simple. The people involved are known racists and extremists and are no better than the radicals of Islam or Christianity and wanted a reaction of some kind.

There are countless of events out there that are provocative in nature, if you're going to compare each one of them to the most radical members of Islam - who are basically terrorists and people who murder innocents in the name of their religion - then you're obviously far worse than these groups are. (The provocative groups, not the Islamic terrorists)

I think you're missing the point, or I am... seem he was saying that our extreme conservatives (whose values are actually pretty damned close to the extreme Islamists) are into killing each other. We take armies and drones to kill them, they endeavor to kill ours through more individual means, but they are all out to kill each, the extreme religious right wing Christians, and the extreme religious right wing Muslims.

"We take armies and drones to kill them" is a reference perhaps to the White House and the way it conducts warfare against terror organizations outside US borders. Unfortunately you're then going on to give this as an example of "extreme religious right wing Christians". Obama clearly isn't one.

Respect is a two way street and, thanks to Charlie Hebdo and this stupid stunt, the entire Muslim world knows more than ever that their religion is not respected by a good portion of Westerners.
