Why insulting prophet Muhammad?!

In California, in the 70s, Chicano militants put a stop to the Frito Bandito commercials.

Thanks for the confirmation, Phoenix. Sometimes my memory conjures "events" that did not quite happen. This one did.

Seems like this is the right thread for this.

Anon, I was just kidding; you ARE the only one!

Why not. I have seen many a cartoon that mocked and were offensive to both Christianity and Judaism that stirred the juices of people of those faiths. However never have people of those faiths resorted to violence, burned embassies or threatened to kill over them. That it would seem to be limited to people of the Islamic faith.
I guess when you live in a tyrannical society that is all you understand.

reaction differs from one person to the other ,those who burned the embassy or acted in a violent way r not praised but this is their reaction ..

Violence, even as a response to fighting words, cannot be justified.

I might want to consider assassinations, as well, but those, and the things you mentioned, were perpetrated by an tiny minority.

Not so with sweeping riots across Europe---once again---by Muslims. I'm sure you would concede that.

Embassies ablaze as Muslim anger spreads [focus on the position of UK Muslims]

February 5
The Observer

The bitter row over the publication of controversial cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad reached a new intensity last night as protesters set fire to embassies in Syria.

Meanwhile, UK police signalled it will investigate the behaviour of protesters in London who called for those insulting Islam to 'be beheaded'. 700 Muslims held a second day of angry protests outside the London embassy of Denmark, many holding placards glorifying the events of 7 July and 9/11.

Some of those identified by police last week included members of Hizb ut-Tahrir, the radical organisation banned in a number of European countries and Anjem Choudary, a key ally of Sheikh Omar Bakri Mohammed, the exiled leader of al-Muhajiroun who described the 7 July bombers as 'the fantastic four'.

Choudary warned that 'the Danish journalists and others who followed suit" aren't "going to be able to live peacefully from now on .. what happened to Salman Rushdie is going to happen to the journalists."

British Muslim groups however appealed for calm, saying the demonstrations and violence had gone too far.

Britain's leading Muslim body, the Muslim Council of Britain called for the protesters to be prosecuted. Inayat Bunglawala said: The "police should now consider all the evidence they have gathered from the protests to see if they can prosecute the extremists. Ordinary Muslims are fed up with them."

Kurshid Ahmed of the British Muslim Forum, which represents more than 600 British mosques, said: 'The reaction and demonstration by some elements within our community are not reflective of who we are."

Azhar Ali, of Labour's National Policy Forum, said: 'My fear is .. militant organisations will use this incident" and it will serve "to act as a recruiting sergeant for their causes."

So thats where you got that from. I remember when you asserted exactly that as The Truth about how it is, nowadays, in Europe, and you were laughed away by the Europeans on this board, who actually frequent those cities.

You got it from "The Intellectual Conservative"! Well, thats as reliable a source on European current events as you can find, I suppose... .
