[bridge2bridge]

500 WOW what a turnout.

Nice to see it was not many many thousands like in the middle east.

wanke_rS the lot of them.

[bridge2bridge]

Its time us Christians stood up for ourselves and start our own jihadi against Muslims extremist’s instead of jihad against the infidel I say we arm all nuns and radicalise them nuns with guns. And scare the Shiite out of them.

55555555--HaHaHa

Agree.

But the Muslims would call us RACISTS.

[bridge2bridge]

THE MUSLIMS ARE NOT HAPPY!

They're not happy in Gaza ..

They're not happy in Egypt ..

They're not happy in Libya ..

They're not happy in Morocco ..

They're not happy in Iran ..

They're not happy in Iraq ..

They're not happy in Yemen ..

They're not happy in Afghanistan ..

They're not happy in Pakistan ..

They're not happy in Syria ..

They're not happy in Lebanon ..

SO, WHERE ARE THEY HAPPY?;

They're happy in Australia .

They're happy in Canada.

They're happy in England ..

They're happy in France ..

They're happy in Italy ..

They're happy in Germany ..

They're happy in Sweden ..

They're happy in the USA ..

They're happy in Norway ..

They're happy in Holland .

They're happy in Denmark .

Basically, they're happy in every country that is not Muslim and unhappy in every country that is!

AND WHO DO THEY BLAME?

Not Islam.

Not their leadership.

Not themselves.

THEY BLAME THE COUNTRIES THEY ARE HAPPY IN!

AND THEN, they want to change those countries to be like....

THE COUNTRY THEY CAME FROM WHERE THEY WERE UNHAPPY!

YEH funny that.( they are not happy in muslim countries)

[bridge2bridge]

What about organising protests in front of Mosques in most non Muslim countries?

Protests against the ceaseless blind killing of innocent people all over the world... in the name of a religion of peace!

YES let's do it.

[bridge2bridge]

For all the fuss, could someone please remind these murdering "men of peace who will fight if someone says something they don't like" that the film was actually made by an Egyptian.

Just thought that was worth pointing out.

Someone mentioned "irony" before, well the biggest irony is that these fools are up in arms over a film depicting Mohammed as an animalistic man of violence....by behaving like animalistic men of violence....

Well done for utterly failing to show the world any different and proving the film-maker right.

VERY VERY WELL SAID.

[jpinx]

I suppose the same protestors will move along to the French embassy now ?

http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-19646748

[Chads]

I am glad it was a peaceful rally. Just what does Israel have to do with all of this? I assume they just threw that in for good measure.

"Sam Bacile, the writer, director and producer of the movie that he says showcases his view of Islam as a hateful religion, was funded by $5 million from about 100 Jewish donors who he declined to identify, the Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday."

[bridge2bridge]

An easier route would be for all western countries to withdraw all their infidels from all the muslim countries around the world. Most would grind to a halt within a year.

Within days.

The only reason we still talk to these people is that OUR oil is under THEIR sand.

YEP right on the money.

The film was just an excuse for these religious fanatics to stir up trouble.

EVERY Western country should deport ALL Muslims back to where they came from.

So they can wreck and trash their own country.

NOT OURS.

Very true, and withdraw ALL the funding too.

And deport the LOT of them.

[Cantankerous]

"We respect all religions" (just so long as it's Islam) and "Down with Isreal" (Jewish state) err, something a bit wrong there..? Islamic tolerance at it's best.

A civilized people discus such matters as adults, like in the 1979 BBC2 televised debate on Monty Python's "Life of Brian", the then Bishop of Southwark is an absolute hoot in this. Somehow I just couldn't see an Imam being that intellectually funny...

Perhaps this lot missed out on the first round of Haj flights from Hat Yai to Jeddah and had nothing better to do today..?

[PankajAmrit]

(Even if this has been falsely attributed, most of the facts and the conclusions are near the bone. It is, undoubtedly, the lack of proper, modern-day scientific and secular education over a century that has sadly led to the usurpation of Islam of today, but is it irreversible? No, but the sure process of them catching up will take a lot more time)

It makes interesting reading... particularly coming from a Pakistani official  --  Dr Farrukh Saleem.

Why are Jews so powerful?

There are only 14 million Jews in the world; seven million in the Americas , five million in Asia, two million in Europe and 100,000 in Africa. For every single Jew in the world there are100 Muslims. Yet, Jews are more than a hundred times more powerful

than all the Muslims put together. Ever wondered why?

Jesus of Nazareth was a Jew.

Albert Einstein, the most influential scientist of all time and TIME magazine's 'Person of the Century', was a Jew.

Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis was a Jew. So were Karl Marx, Paul Samuelson and Milton Friedman.

Here are a few other Jews whose intellectual output has enriched the whole humanity:

Benjamin Rubin gave humanity the vaccinating needle.

Jonas Salk developed the first polio vaccine.

Albert Sabin developed the improved live polio vaccine.

Gertrude Elion gave us a leukaemia fighting drug.

Baruch Blumberg developed the vaccination for Hepatitis B.

Paul Ehrlich discovered a treatment for syphilis.

Elie Metchnikoff won a Nobel Prize in infectious diseases.

Bernard Katz won a Nobel Prize in neuromuscular transmission.

Andrew Schally won a Nobel in endocrinology.

Aaron Beck founded Cognitive Therapy.

Gregory Pincus developed the first oral contraceptive pill.

George Wald won a Nobel for our understanding of the human eye.

Stanley Cohen won a Nobel in embryology.

Willem Kolff came up with the kidney dialysis machine.

Over the past 105 years,14 million Jews have won 15-dozen Nobel Prizes while only three Nobel Prizes have been won by 1.4 billion Muslims (other than Peace Prizes).

Why are Jews so powerful?

Stanley Mezor invented the first micro-processing chip.

Leo Szilard developed the first nuclear chain reactor;

Peter Schultz, optical fibre cable;

Charles Adler, traffic lights;

Benno Strauss, Stainless steel;

Isador Kisee, sound movies;

Emile Berliner, telephone microphone;

Charles Ginsburg, videotape recorder.

Famous financiers in the business world who belong to Jewish faith include

Ralph Lauren (Polo),

Levis Strauss (Levi's Jeans),

Howard Schultz (Starbuck's) ,

Sergey Brin (Google),

Michael Dell (Dell Computers),

Larry Ellison (Oracle),

Donna Karan (DKNY),

Irv Robbins (Baskins & Robbins) and

Bill Rosenberg (Dunkin Donuts).

Richard Levin, President of Yale University, is a Jew. So are Henry Kissinger (American secretary of state), Alan Greenspan (Fed chairman under Reagan, Bush, Clinton and Bush), Joseph Lieberman (US Senator), Madeleine Albright (American secretary of state), Casper Weinberger (American secretary of defence), Maxim Litvinov ( USSR foreign Minister), David Marshal ( Singapore 's first chief minister), Issac Isaacs (governor-general of Australia ), Benjamin Disraeli (British statesman and author), Yevgeny Primakov (Russian PM), Barry Goldwater (US Senator), Jorge Sampaio (president of Portugal ), John Deutsch (CIA director), Herb Gray (Canadian deputy PM), Pierre Mendes (French PM), Michael Howard (British home secretary), Bruno Kreisky (chancellor of Austria ) and Robert Rubin (American secretary of treasury).

In the media, famous Jews include Wolf Blitzer (CNN), Barbara Walters (ABC News), Eugene Meyer (Washington Post), Henry Grunwald (editor-in-chief Time), Katherine Graham (publisher of The Washington Post), Joseph Lelyveld (Executive editor, The New York Times), and Max Frankel (New York Times).

The most beneficent philanthropist in the history of the world is George Soros, a Jew, who has so far donated a colossal $4 billion most of which has gone as aid to scientists and universities around the world.

Second to George Soros is Walter Annenberg, another Jew, who has built a hundred libraries by donating an estimated $2 billion.

At the Olympics, Mark Spitz set a record of sorts by winning seven gold medals; Lenny Krayzelburg is a three-time Olympic gold medalist. Spitz, Krayzelburg and Boris Becker (Tennis) are all Jewish.

Did you know that Harrison Ford, George Burns, Tony Curtis, Charles Bronson, Sandra Bullock, Billy Crystal, Woody Allen, Paul Newman, Peter Sellers, Dustin Hoffman, Michael Douglas, Ben Kingsley, Kirk Douglas, Goldie Hawn, Cary Grant, William Shatner, Jerry Lewis and Peter Falk are all Jewish?

As a matter of fact, Hollywood itself was founded by a Jew. Among the directors and producers, Steven Spielberg, Mel Brooks, Oliver Stone, Aaron Spelling ( Beverly Hills 90210), Neil Simon (The Odd Couple), Andrew Vaina (Rambo 1/2/3), Michael Man (Starsky andHutch), Milos Forman (One flew over the Cuckoo's Nest), Douglas Fairbanks (The Thief of Baghdad ) and Ivan Reitman (Ghostbusters) are all Jewish.

So, why are Jews so powerful?

Answer : EDUCATION!

Why are Muslims so powerless?

There are an estimated 1,476,233,470 Muslims on the face of the planet: one billion in Asia, 400 million in Africa, 44 million in Europe and six million in the Americas . Every fifth human being is a Muslim; for every single Hindu there are two Muslims, for every Buddhist there are two Muslims and for every Jew there are one hundred Muslims.

Ever wondered why Muslims are so powerless?

Here is why: There are 57 member-countries of the Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC), and all of them put together have around 500 universities; one university for every three million Muslims. The United States has 5,758 universities and India has 8,407.

In 2004, Shanghai Jiao Tong University compiled an 'Academic Ranking of World Universities' , and intriguingly, not one university

from Muslim-majority states was in the top-500.

As per data collected by the UNDP, literacy in the Christian world stands at nearly 90 per cent and 15 Christian-majority states have a literacy rate of 100 per cent.

A Muslim-majority state, as a sharp contrast, has an average literacy rate of around 40 per cent and there is no Muslim-majority state with a literacy rate of 100 per cent.

Some 98 per cent of the 'literates' in the Christian world had completed primary school, while less than 50 per cent of the 'literates' in the Muslim world did the same.

Around 40 per cent of the 'literates' in the Christian world attended university while no more than two per cent of the 'literates' in the Muslim world did the same.

Muslim-majority countries have 230 scientists per one million Muslims. The US has 4,000 scientists per million and Japan has 5,000 per million. In the entire Arab world, the total number of full-time researchers is 35,000 and there are only 50 technicians per one million Arabs. (in the Christian world there are up to 1,000 technicians per one million).

Furthermore, the Muslim world spends 0.2 per cent of its GDP on research and development, while the Christian world spends around five per cent of its GDP.

Conclusion: The Muslim world lacks the capacity to produce knowledge!

Daily newspapers per 1,000 people and number of book titles per million are two indicators of whether knowledge is being diffused in a society.

In Pakistan, there are 23 daily newspapers per 1,000 Pakistanis while the same ratio in Singapore is 360. In the UK , the number of book titles per million stands at 2,000 while the same in Egypt is 20.

Conclusion: The Muslim world is failing to diffuse knowledge.

Exports of high technology products as a percentage of total exports are an important indicator of knowledge application. Pakistan's export of high technology products as a percentage of total exports stands at one per cent. The same for Saudi Arabia is 0.3 per cent; Kuwait, Morocco, and Algeria are all at 0.3 per cent, while Singapore is at 58 per cent.

Conclusion: The Muslim world is failing to apply knowledge.

Why are Muslims powerless?

.....Because we aren't producing knowledge,

.....Because we aren't diffusing knowledge.,

.....Because we aren't applying knowledge.

And, the future belongs to knowledge-based societies.

Interestingly, the combined annual GDP of 57 OIC-countries is under $2 trillion.

America, just by herself, produces goods and services worth $12 trillion; China $8 trillion, Japan $3.8 trillion and Germany $2.4 trillion (purchasing power parity basis).

Oil rich Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait and Qatar collectively produce goods and services (mostly oil) worth $500 billion;

Spain alone produces goods and services worth over $1 trillion, Catholic Poland $489 billion and Buddhist Thailand $545 billion.

..... (Muslim GDP as a percentage of world GDP is fast declining).

So, why are Muslims so powerless?

Answer: Lack of education!

All we do is shout to Allah the whole day and blame everyone else for our multiple failures.

[Konini]

It is interesting to note that the "average" Moslem in the USA did not get so upset... There are large communities of them living normal lives in such states as California, Texas, Michigan, New York... They understand how freedom of expression works in the USA (including from idots like this guy that made the amateur film). Most Moslems in the USA are hard working like the rest of us busy paying their bills and trying to provide a better life for their children. They are also well educated so are able to think for themselves. What I saw happen in Sydney a few days ago there, totally surprised me. Their Moslem protest against the US became very violent and out of control. I felt sorry for the police who were not expecting such an agressive protest.

What happened in Sydney isn't really anything to do with the video; it's programmed into them. It started 15-20 years ago with high school boys, our gang-your gang (as happens at pretty much every high school everywhere in the world) and it intensified over the years until someone came up with the idea manipulating it to their own ends by making it into a Muslim/Christian thing. Although I suspect that began with the more extreme influential Muslims, the radio shock-jocks in Sydney are disgusting - I remember around 10 years ago during some particularly big us and them bust up, one radio announcer encouraging people to go down to Bondi Beach NOW where the Muslims were congregating/causing trouble and show them exactly who's country this is. A very sad day for freedom of speech.

Re post 133 above. If there was no oil in the Middle East, Dubai would still be a fishing creek and they would all be living in a religious stone age. The Arabs used to be an amazing civilization and were up at the top of the tree when it came to mathematics, astronomy and the sciences. Since the guy beginning with M came along, the Arabs have contributed nothing at all to world scientific development. I bet M is sat there in the spirit world now thinking a bit like L Ron Hubbard "what !! they actually took me seriously'!!!

[pacovl46]

Isn't it amazing?! Some idiots make a cretinous film and people demonstrate outside the embassy in Bangkok against America like it's an official film of the US!!! One got to be pretty mindless to not be able to differ between American citizens and the American government. Some people really do live still in the stone age!!!

In Pakistan, there are 23 daily newspapers per 1,000 Pakistanis while the same ratio in Singapore is 360. In the UK , the number of book titles per million stands at 2,000 while the same in Egypt is 20.

Conclusion: The Muslim world is failing to diffuse knowledge.

Exports of high technology products as a percentage of total exports are an important indicator of knowledge application. Pakistan's export of high technology products as a percentage of total exports stands at one per cent. The same for Saudi Arabia is 0.3 per cent; Kuwait, Morocco, and Algeria are all at 0.3 per cent, while Singapore is at 58 per cent.

Conclusion: The Muslim world is failing to apply knowledge.

Why are Muslims powerless?

.....Because we aren't producing knowledge,

.....Because we aren't diffusing knowledge.,

.....Because we aren't applying knowledge.

And, the future belongs to knowledge-based societies.

Interestingly, the combined annual GDP of 57 OIC-countries is under $2 trillion.

America, just by herself, produces goods and services worth $12 trillion; China $8 trillion, Japan $3.8 trillion and Germany $2.4 trillion (purchasing power parity basis).

Oil rich Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait and Qatar collectively produce goods and services (mostly oil) worth $500 billion;

Spain alone produces goods and services worth over $1 trillion, Catholic Poland $489 billion and Buddhist Thailand $545 billion.

..... (Muslim GDP as a percentage of world GDP is fast declining).

So, why are Muslims so powerless?

Answer: Lack of education!

All we do is shout to Allah the whole day and blame everyone else for our multiple failures.

And yet if Moses had turned right instead of left when he crossed the Red Sea the Jews would have had the oil and the Arabs would have had the oranges!

[transam]

(Even if this has been falsely attributed, most of the facts and the conclusions are near the bone. It is, undoubtedly, the lack of proper, modern-day scientific and secular education over a century that has sadly led to the usurpation of Islam of today, but is it irreversible? No, but the sure process of them catching up will take a lot more time)

Why are Jews so powerful?

There are only 14 million Jews in the world; seven million in the Americas , five million in Asia, two million in Europe and 100,000 in Africa. For every single Jew in the world there are100 Muslims. Yet, Jews are more than a hundred times more powerful

than all the Muslims put together. Ever wondered why?

Jesus of Nazareth was a Jew.

Albert Einstein, the most influential scientist of all time and TIME magazine's 'Person of the Century', was a Jew.

Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis was a Jew. So were Karl Marx, Paul Samuelson and Milton Friedman.

Here are a few other Jews whose intellectual output has enriched the whole humanity:

Benjamin Rubin gave humanity the vaccinating needle.

Jonas Salk developed the first polio vaccine.

Albert Sabin developed the improved live polio vaccine.

Gertrude Elion gave us a leukaemia fighting drug.

Baruch Blumberg developed the vaccination for Hepatitis B.

Paul Ehrlich discovered a treatment for syphilis.

Elie Metchnikoff won a Nobel Prize in infectious diseases.

Bernard Katz won a Nobel Prize in neuromuscular transmission.

Andrew Schally won a Nobel in endocrinology.

Aaron Beck founded Cognitive Therapy.

Gregory Pincus developed the first oral contraceptive pill.

George Wald won a Nobel for our understanding of the human eye.

Stanley Cohen won a Nobel in embryology.

Willem Kolff came up with the kidney dialysis machine.

Over the past 105 years,14 million Jews have won 15-dozen Nobel Prizes while only three Nobel Prizes have been won by 1.4 billion Muslims (other than Peace Prizes).

Why are Jews so powerful?

Stanley Mezor invented the first micro-processing chip.

Leo Szilard developed the first nuclear chain reactor;

Peter Schultz, optical fibre cable;

Charles Adler, traffic lights;

Benno Strauss, Stainless steel;

Isador Kisee, sound movies;

Emile Berliner, telephone microphone;

Charles Ginsburg, videotape recorder.

Famous financiers in the business world who belong to Jewish faith include

Ralph Lauren (Polo),

Levis Strauss (Levi's Jeans),

Howard Schultz (Starbuck's) ,

Sergey Brin (Google),

Michael Dell (Dell Computers),

Larry Ellison (Oracle),

Donna Karan (DKNY),

Irv Robbins (Baskins & Robbins) and

Bill Rosenberg (Dunkin Donuts).

Richard Levin, President of Yale University, is a Jew. So are Henry Kissinger (American secretary of state), Alan Greenspan (Fed chairman under Reagan, Bush, Clinton and Bush), Joseph Lieberman (US Senator), Madeleine Albright (American secretary of state), Casper Weinberger (American secretary of defence), Maxim Litvinov ( USSR foreign Minister), David Marshal ( Singapore 's first chief minister), Issac Isaacs (governor-general of Australia ), Benjamin Disraeli (British statesman and author), Yevgeny Primakov (Russian PM), Barry Goldwater (US Senator), Jorge Sampaio (president of Portugal ), John Deutsch (CIA director), Herb Gray (Canadian deputy PM), Pierre Mendes (French PM), Michael Howard (British home secretary), Bruno Kreisky (chancellor of Austria ) and Robert Rubin (American secretary of treasury).

In the media, famous Jews include Wolf Blitzer (CNN), Barbara Walters (ABC News), Eugene Meyer (Washington Post), Henry Grunwald (editor-in-chief Time), Katherine Graham (publisher of The Washington Post), Joseph Lelyveld (Executive editor, The New York Times), and Max Frankel (New York Times).

The most beneficent philanthropist in the history of the world is George Soros, a Jew, who has so far donated a colossal $4 billion most of which has gone as aid to scientists and universities around the world.

Second to George Soros is Walter Annenberg, another Jew, who has built a hundred libraries by donating an estimated $2 billion.

At the Olympics, Mark Spitz set a record of sorts by winning seven gold medals; Lenny Krayzelburg is a three-time Olympic gold medalist. Spitz, Krayzelburg and Boris Becker (Tennis) are all Jewish.

Did you know that Harrison Ford, George Burns, Tony Curtis, Charles Bronson, Sandra Bullock, Billy Crystal, Woody Allen, Paul Newman, Peter Sellers, Dustin Hoffman, Michael Douglas, Ben Kingsley, Kirk Douglas, Goldie Hawn, Cary Grant, William Shatner, Jerry Lewis and Peter Falk are all Jewish?

As a matter of fact, Hollywood itself was founded by a Jew. Among the directors and producers, Steven Spielberg, Mel Brooks, Oliver Stone, Aaron Spelling ( Beverly Hills 90210), Neil Simon (The Odd Couple), Andrew Vaina (Rambo 1/2/3), Michael Man (Starsky andHutch), Milos Forman (One flew over the Cuckoo's Nest), Douglas Fairbanks (The Thief of Baghdad ) and Ivan Reitman (Ghostbusters) are all Jewish.

So, why are Jews so powerful?

Answer : EDUCATION!

Why are Muslims so powerless?

There are an estimated 1,476,233,470 Muslims on the face of the planet: one billion in Asia, 400 million in Africa, 44 million in Europe and six million in the Americas . Every fifth human being is a Muslim; for every single Hindu there are two Muslims, for every Buddhist there are two Muslims and for every Jew there are one hundred Muslims.

Ever wondered why Muslims are so powerless?

Here is why: There are 57 member-countries of the Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC), and all of them put together have around 500 universities; one university for every three million Muslims. The United States has 5,758 universities and India has 8,407.

In 2004, Shanghai Jiao Tong University compiled an 'Academic Ranking of World Universities' , and intriguingly, not one university

from Muslim-majority states was in the top-500.

As per data collected by the UNDP, literacy in the Christian world stands at nearly 90 per cent and 15 Christian-majority states have a literacy rate of 100 per cent.

A Muslim-majority state, as a sharp contrast, has an average literacy rate of around 40 per cent and there is no Muslim-majority state with a literacy rate of 100 per cent.

Some 98 per cent of the 'literates' in the Christian world had completed primary school, while less than 50 per cent of the 'literates' in the Muslim world did the same.

Around 40 per cent of the 'literates' in the Christian world attended university while no more than two per cent of the 'literates' in the Muslim world did the same.

Muslim-majority countries have 230 scientists per one million Muslims. The US has 4,000 scientists per million and Japan has 5,000 per million. In the entire Arab world, the total number of full-time researchers is 35,000 and there are only 50 technicians per one million Arabs. (in the Christian world there are up to 1,000 technicians per one million).

Furthermore, the Muslim world spends 0.2 per cent of its GDP on research and development, while the Christian world spends around five per cent of its GDP.

Conclusion: The Muslim world lacks the capacity to produce knowledge!

Daily newspapers per 1,000 people and number of book titles per million are two indicators of whether knowledge is being diffused in a society.

In Pakistan, there are 23 daily newspapers per 1,000 Pakistanis while the same ratio in Singapore is 360. In the UK , the number of book titles per million stands at 2,000 while the same in Egypt is 20.

The same for Saudi Arabia is 0.3 per cent; Kuwait, Morocco, and Algeria are all at 0.3 per cent, while Singapore is at 58 per cent.

We don't put up with antiSemitism and hate crimes so its no wonder people protest anti-Muslim films. There is a difference between free speech and garbage meant to insult others.

[Geratul]

Well Muslims only want to create a atmosphere that you really wants to get sick of them. Wanna laugh? They say 'American made movie'. May I remind all those Muslimsmwho demonstrate because of the fact they have nothing else to do, that the movie is made by one of their Egyptian Muslim brother!!!! That's why the American police arrest this nice Muslim brother! So demonstrators, tomorrow to the Egyptian Embassy? They even don't know the facts and go to demonstrate. What a educated people. Sick of them.

I think it's all to do with mini carpet sales.

[exeter]

I dont know if anyone remembers the trouble the Russians had with Chetyna (?) apparently it is now a Islamic state and remember the trouble in the Balkans when the Islamists were being slaughtered? Before that we hardly heard of them,perhaps they the Russians and the Serbs saw what was coming? Not long after the attacks on th USA and other western places, the rise of these people needs to be noted. There was a time when they, I presume got on with their lives and we got on with ours, but not it would seem anymore, at the slightest opportunity they come out to bite the hand that feeds them, proclaim death to any non islamist. I do worry that as they try to take over moderate western countries that a new holy war will commence when the local indegineous population say enough is enough, get them out or there will a blood bath.

Perhaps the Japenese have the right idea they dont allow Muslims in or give them citizenship, they dont deal with them on home soil.

Its a sad day when I have to say this but tolerance and consensus is not what they are about, since 1990 they have produced some very violent people, people that other religons, groups or races have not and the question has to be why?

Hypocrisy runs rampant, again. Do they protest the killings in the south?

Of course not, these are the people instigating the killings in the south. If you are muslim it is ok to kill anyone if someone in the world insults you, just to prove you are insulted.

I need to convert...

[partington]

We don't put up with antiSemitism and hate crimes so its no wonder people protest anti-Muslim films. There is a difference between free speech and garbage meant to insult others.

Nope. The only point of guaranteeing free speech is to allow people to say what you personally would least like to hear. To facilitate people in authority being challenged and mocked. This is why it is valuable and this is why it needs to be an enshrined legal right.

Of course, if free speech just involved saying how great everything is no one would be against it, and it would not be under continual threat of suppression by groups of religious, political and racial bigots.

[khaowong1]

It is time we got back to our biblical roots and started killing all sorts of people ... I mean how can we call ourselves true Christians without some killing of those different than us?

The most evil and dangerous book ever published, the same one the Muslim, Christian and Jewish faiths came out of ... http://www.evilbible.com/Murder.htm

Wow... a lot of killing going on there.

[omnilangur]

We hate hate?

Sounds like they hate the US and Israel to me.

oc

If this site is all for FREEDOM of speech, whats up with all the hatred towards muslims and thai's on here I've observed?

This spreads to the Rohinga muslims in Burma where they were the victims of torture and genocide some of them escaped to south thailand on a boat where the Thai sOldiers killed them all and threw them in the ocean to starve to death.......

Is the Egyptian film maker a Muslim, anyone know?

I read that he was some kind of Coptic Christian. From Egypt or Lebannon or some place, and that he was in a lot of trouble with the US Federal Govt, for mail fraud and some other charges. It's said he was looking at a way to make money to pay his fines and stay out of jail. I also read that the US Feds were getting ready to stick him back in the slammer. Maybe they should just extradite him instead and put out a press bulletin to that effect to the world.

[thaiedward]

well I hope they were more civilised than they were in Australia and didn't use young children to spread hatred. In Sydney they had an 8 yr old girl addressing a group to rise up against infidels and calling for a Jihad (Brainwashed child) and 4 yr olds carrying signs demanding death. Child protection are now involved.

Your Australian PM has exhibited a proper response to the intolerance by Muslims of the very place&people who host their presence.

I endeavor to create sincere and kind relationships with ALL people without regard to their homeland, race or creed.

A quite-recent trip to KL reminded yours-truly of how difficult this can be with Muslim persons.

It's possible that most persons/citizens are brainwashed to varying degrees but Muslims take the cake.
