[RC one]

all of the examples are hyperlinked backed to their source at the site. It's an "entertaining" read.

[livius]

How about “non-Muslims breathing”?

[jessduntno]

“How about “non-Muslims breathing”?”

How about ANYTHING not Muslim, alive inanimate?

[RC one]

That would fall under “non-muslims in general” I think.

[NEMDF]

Possibly for buildings: Christian churches ?

Entertaining? Yes.

The linked-to article is also dated Feb 12, 2007. Hardly new news.

The author is obviously being paid by the word.

Could have said the same thing in one sentence entitled:
"A list of things that do not offend muslims".

[RC one]

does that offend you?

Cleanliness

“How about “non-Muslims breathing”?” How about ANYTHING not Muslim, alive inanimate?

Seems rather restrictive. In addition to have you have, I would also suggest adding "and ANYTHING mooselim, alive or inaimate", since they hate each other almost as much as everyone else.

Wouldn’t the “List of Things that DON’T Offend Muslims” be much easier?

[walford]

and let us not forget that once Muslims wipe out all non-Muslims in a given place, they happily turn on each other.

[massgopguy]

Please add the Knights of Columbus to the Christians list. I don’t want to be left out.

[aruanan]

Well, these are all examples of things that certain Muslims found “offensive” for whatever reason. To take any one or an amalgam of these and apply it to the entire population of Muslims or to the institution, such as it is, of Islam, is to engage in the parts to the whole fallacy.

They hate other muslims too if they pose a threat to their power of rule.

You are engaging in the good muslim bad muslim fallacy. That kind of thinking leads to appeasement and ruin.
