· World body complains of rising intolerance in west
· Video shows youth group ridiculing Muhammad
The world's largest international Muslim body complained of shrinking tolerance in the west yesterday as a new row erupted over Danish cartoons mocking the prophet Muhammad.
The 57-nation Organisation of the Islamic Conference said in a statement: "Muslims have noted with concern that the values of tolerance are eroding and there is now shrinking space for others' religious, social and cultural values in the west."
The statement followed the airing on Danish state television of amateur video footage showing members of the anti-immigrant Danish Peoples' party (DPP) taking part in a contest to draw images ridiculing the prophet. "The running of the footage affected the sensibilities of civilised people and religious beliefs of one fifth of humanity," the OIC said.

BTW, that quarter was for them, not you Pokey78. ;-)
Oxygen makes muslims angry.
Muslims complaining about a lack of tolerance is like Paris Hilton complaining about a lack of abstinance before marriage.
You may have a point.....
The only group angrier than the mulsims are the democrats.
Somebody needs to write up a schedule for islamderthal outrage.
"How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity.
The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities - but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome."

I agree.
Do these people wake up in the morning looking for something to be angry about? Or do they go to bed at night praying to allah to give them something to be angry about in the morning? Questions to ponder, questions that boggle the mind.
I have some Jewish friends who would like to visit Mecca...
I'd like to bring my Bible to Saudi...

If I had this much hate I would commit suicide … quick, spread the word.
