Oh, really? You speak for all Muslims, do you? Cardmeister -- I think it was -- posted a cartoon about MMY and piles 'o money. I'm not offended even though I do TM. I suggest to you that a cartoon of Muhammed with a bomb as a turban may insult some Muslims...perhaps those that don't have a sense of humour, are very sensitive, or are conflicted about whether or not terrorism is justified. Those that are well-grounded in their faith are probably not bothered at all. > Ammachi speaks about the > impact of these on the muslims in general.

I don't and I didn't equat ALL Muslims with murderes. I do equate those that DID murder with murder. > Why do you bring those cases up, who react > in the wrong way, to justify the cartoons, When did I justify the cartoons? > who insult all muslims, by > mocking at their idol as a terrorist? Ha. You've got it all wrong, bub. Muslims aren't allowed to have Muhammed displayed as an idol. > > There is no reason to insult anybodies religion - be it a majority or > a minority. I disagree. There is VERY OFTEN reasons to insult religions. I can think of a dozen reasons right off the top of my head. >(I don't know why this even needs to be discussed) There is > even no reason to insult someones religion, even though he may be one > of these misguided persons, who are terrorists.
