Muslims get their frilly panties in a twist once again

[SovaNu]

i am the true prophet.

hop on one leg.

[Calandale]

Your left or right one?

[SovaNu]

why do you wanna hop on my leg?

[Calandale]

You told me to.

[SovaNu]

it could have been anyone's leg.

And this is relevant because...?

Their prophet's legitimacy is crap, which in turn makes Islam itself crap.    Their respect for the name and image of Mohammed is a false one, as his own prophethood is not even legit.   Basically they are morons, just like anyone who would throw a hissy fit over the image of Yahweh or Jesus.

Luckily you don't get to define the legitimacy of any prophet, Christian, Muslim, or otherwise. I'd encourage you to discuss your views with a representative of the Muslim population, however. Maybe they have the patience to explain the finer points to you.

But I want yours.

Don't generalise, Peter. This is about fucked-up Sudan authorities, teacher colleagues holding grudges, and fundamentalist views among some. Not every Muslim is like that.

One teacher said: "I had no problem with it at all. I know Gillian and she would never have meant it as an insult. I was just impressed she got them to vote." Another source said it was believed that a teacher with a grudge against Ms Gibbons brought the case to a head.

I never said or thought that every Muslim is like that, but enough are for shit like this to happen on a very regular basis.  I also didn't see any mention of teachers holding grudges in the article; it was the parents of the kids who contacted the authorities when the kids took the teddy home with them, and the fucked-up authorities are fucked up in large part because of the fundamentalist views that so many of their members hold.

It's in Odeon's quote in your post, Peter.  I highlighted it in green for you.

I am the true prophet.

Do what I say.

Dictate it to me so I can transcribe it in a book and start a new religion and get people to pay us a tithe.  I am sure it will make as much sense as any other

Lucky for me, as I wouldn't want the burden of naming some psychopath like Mohammed as a prophet (he was a military leader that killed many people and screwed 12 year old girls lol).   The legitimacy that he claims to have is based on a Christian Monk, and that type of symbol has NEVER been associated with a prophet in Judeo-Christian history (Abrahamic lineage).   That makes it bullshit.  I have talked to Muslims before, and there really isn't anything to prove and no evidence (other than his supposed ascension in front of 400 people) that makes Mohammed special.

So what you're saying is that you aren't converting to Islam right now?

[Alex179]

Pretty much, or any religion period.

I say they have no right to get pissed over some people making likenesses of their supposed prophet.   It only says you aren't supposed to worship idols of Mohammed, nothing about making jokes about him though haha.   Seriously, Muslims need to GTFO and STFU with their bitching.

So go on and tell them.

[Alex179]

So go on and tell them.

They will just respond with their regular killing for the most part.   If a Muslim killed me for saying that, then it proves that they are indeed violent people.   Any time someone tries to set a religious person straight, they get angry.   Muslims actually kill people, but I refuse to be scared when I know they are wrong.   Fuck them, really.    The only effort they are worth is some trolling on a Muslim message board.

It would prove that you insulted a person who then overreacted. You need to work on your logic.
