To the mooselimbs....

TOUGH SH*T!

I have spent my entire 39 years of life watching Jesus depicted in all sorts of disgusting ways, ie crosses in urine, etc. It offends me. But I know in my faith it's not what offends ME, rather it is what offends JESUS. Let HIM be the judge as it is supposed to be.

That is what separates my faith from the false faith of the mooselimbs!

Don't the muslims realize that westerners don't give a crap about the taboos of their warped religious practices. They obviously are not offended when thousands are murdered in the name of this religion, but a cartoon upsets them. The western media needs to call these people out for what they are.

Sorry, but aren't "crosses in urine" subject to criminal prosecution? Here in Russia a museum director was convicted because of displaying a picture of Christ's face with "This is my blood" and Coca-Cola logo inscripted near it.

They can STFU.

One of these days their collective and perpetual outrage might just result in collective apoplexy, preferably fatal.

I hope the characters all are pigs heads wearing raghead-style towels on their heads.

Since you're in Russia maybe you don't know. Awful as it is, that kind of thing is protected free speech under the 1st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. A few years ago someone put a cross in urine and this was displayed in a museum (funded with taxpayer dollars if I recall correctly). All the left wing celebrated this disgusting exhibit as progressive, cutting-edge "art".

Those damn trouble making Danes.

Exactly, Christians, Jews, etc. (or how they call of us "infidels", react differently, which makes the entire point of the cartoons only even more CORRECT.

free speech under the 1st Amendment to the U.S

Free speech has its limitations if one uses common sense. Like it's not right to abuse religious feelings of any worshipper, including Christians (common sense applies here as well).

Like it's not right to abuse religious feelings of any worshipper

I prefer the system where Christ can be mocked (nothing He hasn't seen before) - as this also allows us to mock the Islamic Deathcult.

Not in the U.S. I suppose if someone did this during a group event to incite violoence they may be charged with inciting violence, but not for the cross.

That's the one thing about the U.S. Every idiot has the right to be an idiot. You have to take the sh-t with the sugar...

"Free speech has its limitations if one uses common sense. Like it's not right to abuse religious feelings of any worshiper, including Christians (common sense applies here as well)."

Given the many religions on this planet, it is virtually impossible for people to avoid hurting someone's religious feelings. Shall we all be required to learn & observe the religious tenets of everyone we may come in contact with?

Examples:

Not working on the Sabbath: Sunday for Christians, Saturday for Jews, Friday for mussies. I don't know about Hindus, Buddists, Shintoist, Aztecs, etc., but my guess is that by satisfying all religions in this matter, no day of the week would be a work day. Hurrah! Until the bills become due.

Meat eating prohibitions: No more pork, beef, or any meat eaten in public. That will close virtually every public restaurant, & severely restrict what food stores can sell.

These are just 2 simple examples. There are countless prohibitions in countless religions that would make it impossible for humans to interact socially, UNLESS they all adopted the same religion. And this all ignores the secularists, who would have none of it.

So, it may not be right to abuse religious feelings of any worshiper, but it cannot be made illegal because one man's perceived abuse may be normal behavior for another man.

I was taught long ago that if you don't like what you see, turn away. If you don't like what you hear, don't listen, & if you don't like who you are with, leave.

Religion is a personal thing, & should not be foisted on the general public in the name of avoiding perceived abuse or insult. I think the uproar over the Danish cartoons makes this point perfectly.

[Knitting A Conundrum]

On more and more points, the Danes seem to have woken up and are saying bit by bit, "Eat my shorts!"

What gives Mooselips the right to not be offended by Free Speech? Because their violent?
