farang000999 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 What are they protesting about? They want America to pass a law banning religious criticisms of Islam? Last time I checked, the prophet of Islam was a pedophile by any measure of the word. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theanimaster Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 This is absolute f__ing B__S__t. The "movie" in question is such cr@p that it can't even be called as such. It was just made by some f__ing racist loser who's mad at Islam/Muslim, and not all the Muslims are up in arms AGAINST AMERICA for this B___ S___t??? Well I'll be GOD D____NED. Looks like this loser of a producer actually uncovered the UGLY TRUTH AFTERALL, though I'd like to think otherwise. To think so many would hurt innocent people just because of this tripe???

Khruumaiyai Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Even If the muslims here did start kicking off i somehow cant imagine the Thai police standing for it one iota, i think there is little sympathy for them here in Thailand Think again and read the article. The Royal Thai Police warns about a muslim protest in Bangkok on Saturday Er... and, VintageTQ, have you never looked at any news article about the Deep South? Not sure that the 'Thai police standing for it' is particularly relevant... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRealDeal Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Just punish the guy who made it ... And all this will be gone .... In America we dont punish people for speaking their mind, we have free speech. The day the USA bows to such cowardly acts is the day it loses what makes it great. Free speech is allowed. Inciting a riot is illegal. Try yelling "fire" in a crowded movie theater and see how your freedom of speech argument holds up in court. Thats true and I assume you know but others may not that this particular "case" if it was brought to a court would hinge on 2 arguments , one is weather or not the person knew that his conduct would have iminent danger meaning that if people rioted after a while as opposed to immediatly it's not his fault , and assuming it was determined to be hate speech if it was "meaningless" or had some political or artistic value in which case hate is allowed. The standard for inciting a riot is VERY high , however the more times people riot the better argument can be made that a person did know the danger was imminent and real and the less it matters weather it had any meaning or not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the stupidest statement I have ever heard. There's a big difference between 'free speech' and what this guy did. What, exactly, did 'this guy' do? In your er, educated opinion?By the way, there is a very real difference between 'free speech' and idiotic intentional whipping up of xenophobia. Flaming is a lesser parallel. It serves no purpose other to set one against another which is precisely the Government's (in this case Obama's) agenda and nothing more. DO wake up.

masaomi Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Thais has no grudge against the Americans. I think Americans are safer here than anywhere else.

yougivemebaby Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I doubt things will get out of hand. I'd like to see the protesters smashing things in front of the Thai police. I know many Thai people and they seem generally racist against muslims. I hope no one gets stupid and violent. Let's see if they can have a peaceful gathering. Let them have their protests. They have a right to it. Butt I don't understand why they are protesting the Embassies.. ? Shouldn't they go protest at a cinema or something? Maybe go protest at the guys house ? There is no real logic to this joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post davejones Posted September 17, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted September 17, 2012 There seem to be a lot of people attacking Muslims on this thread, but Muslims are pretty peaceful people. The Muslims you see on the news are the extremists, and they are not representative of Muslims as a whole. I think many on here have such ingrained racist beliefs that they can't tell the difference. I have seen Western people act like some Muslims are acting now, but you'd probably say they are bad people and wouldn't condemn the whole Western world. There are good Muslims and bad Muslims, just as there are good and bad Americans. Don't turn this into some sort of crusade against all Muslims. You should be intelligent enough to know all this, but it seems that many aren't. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRealDeal Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 (edited) The thing the 1st amendment people don't realise is that it's not a defence to inciting a riot to say the people rioted unreasonably , the only defence is that a reasonable person would not have known they would riot ....... that argument becomes less and less valid everytime people riot over insulting Islam as Jayman also points out. In the same way it became less and less reasonable to think calling people niggers would not incite them to the point of it being classified as fighting words , which are illegal as well.

The guy that make this crap film is an Egyptian Christian that lied about being an American based Israeli Jew to incite anger and hatred towards Americans, Jews, and Israelis. His lie about being a jew is yet another reason why his defense for "free speech" will not fly in court if it comes down to it.

yougivemebaby Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Now there is a demonstration planned for tomorrow. http://bangkok.usemb...itymessage.html I assume this is Muslims protesting the movie.

Popular Post lineofentry Posted September 17, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted September 17, 2012 We are all infidels and deserve to die, that is the will of Allah, God is great etc etc etc etc etc. Even moderate Muslims seem to accept or tolerate this viewpoint.

yougivemebaby Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I doubt there will be 'several hundred'. I think they're scared of the Thai police and military.

Hating a religion is not racism. All religions say theirs is the only truth and that all others are based on lies and all non-believers are infidels who must suffer the consequences. Why should any non-muslim person accept Islam? And please tell me when Western people have attacked and burnt down embassies killing people over some terrible video clip?

The child-bride thing is still being done by adherents of the same faith as a current American Presidential candidate. How do you reconcile that with your statement and the me-too guy's follow-up? Your ideology is fueled by Faux News and the like, no different from the misguided folks you're on about. I expect this post to disappear when your posts and replies are removed.
