If you didn’t live in a Christian country, you’d be amazed of Christianity’s reputation too. 
really? tell me some rumours about christian’s… i havent heard anything bad yet, would like to hear some though ^^ 
Did you know that, during the imperialism, Chinese shops had signs that read “forbidden the entrance of dogs and christians”? 
Many countries and cultures that were converted by jesuits during colonization and imperialism still think of christians as evil. There are also some (not that many) islamic and jewish sects that loathe christians.
And there are lots of different christian religions, and some of them hate each other. 
Just like any other religion, there are people who just can’t stand christianism, or some groups of christians. I figure it’s just normal in a worls of so much prejudice and so many people blaming their disgrace on others and their beliefs (tip: just take a look at how all the recent wars started).
White Mage Cid I find that comepletely ignorant. Ignorancy is not stupidity, but what you said did bother me a bit. No offense to you, but only offense to that opinion you just had :/. You see if you really think about it, atheism IS a religion in itself. A religion followed to deny all religion. So you are actually going into a blind rage to show Faith is wrong. We are all blind and full of rage.
Yes, Cid, I agree with your basic point, that all the bombing and riots over the cartoons was a bit much, but the way you said it sounded ignorant and could possibly be offensive. BTW, it was not a blind rage. In the muslim faith, it is an utter and complete blasphemy to portray Muhammed. It was a rage, seeing as you must be enraged to blow sh*t up, but it was not blind. They knew what they were doing and why.
I know what you mean, but that they just go berserk of it isn’t excactly the most intelligent thing you can do, right?
I understand that they worship Muhammed as their prohet and so on, but that they pledge their loyalty so much that they’d kill anyone who portrays him? Gimme a break…
After seeing your opinions I realized I’m kinda blasphemous against God, too, although not an atheist. (Although I roleplay him like a christian priest.) And yes, some people are blinded by rage, some more than others. In fact, that raises an important question; Why can no one ever live in peace and co-existence?
Well, Cid, that you clearly can’t understand how much this affects them.
And think abotu it for a second—why is this freedom of speech anyway? If these guys want to test the freedom of speech in Denmark, which is NOT an islamic country, but a christian one, I’d like to see if they have the guts to post some christian blasphemy and see what the reaction would be.
“We posted this because we wanted to test freedom of speech” was the most idiotic, hypocritical explanation they could give for insulting an important person to the three most influent religions in the west.
I agree that the explanation for posting the pictures is very bad, there is no need to test the freedom of speech… it’s like pushing your luck just to see how far it will stretch. Totally unecessary. Also, I’ve heard some pretty bad things about Denmark (although I try not to listen to it too much, you can’t believe everything people say), but from what I know they have a national democratic government ruling the country. I don’t know, maybe in some countries national democratic doesn’t sound bad, but in Sweden it’s considered to be very close to racism (and some might even say nazism). I get the impression that they posted the pictures out of spite… just to offend the muslim community. However, this goes not give muslims any rights to kill people or burn embassies.
I think that if you post christian blasphemy in Denmark the reaction would not be that great… I’ve heard and seen lots of bad jokes about Jesus, heaven, hell, Satan, God, priests and things like that, and so far I haven’t seen any Christians being offended by it…
I think that posting the pictures was terrible. Not only were they purposefully blasphemous to the Muslim faith and desacrated Islams most sacred phrophet that, remember, isn’t actually allowed to be drawn, they drew the guy with a dirty great big bomb on his head!
But that doesn’t mean that I approve of the way the Muslims handled it, no offence to anyone reading. I think their reaction was over the top in the extreme and that they overreacted or, even if they didn’t, they handled their reaction really, really badly, and it wasn’t justified.
One thing I was surprised to read a few months ago was that there were three additional cartoons, which were never published in Jyllands-Posten, being circulated by a group called the Islamic Society in Denmark along with the original twelve comics, on their tour of the middle east…I sympathize with Muslims who were offended by the original twelve comics, although I suppose I didn’t really find them that bad in retrospect (being an atheist and all), but the additional three comics circulated circulated by this group on their tour of the middle east are quite a bit worse that the original twelve, and they were neither ever published nor produced by Jyllands-Posten. Rather, the group claimed they were sent to them by anonymous Muslims in Denmark, and they refused to give any names or identities (probably a good idea…) The original publications may have been offensive, but Denmark is not a Muslim country, and the Muslim reaction outside of Denmark did seem a bit too much. I could certainly understand a reaction from within Denmark, but not like we saw around the world. However, when you consider that these three additional comics were being circulated throughout the Muslim world, by Muslims, to encourage even more of a bad reaction, well, that sort of changed things for me. This group didn’t encourage people to stop rioting or to try to sit down and discuss this in a peaceful way. Instead, they encouraged what was already a bad situation to get worse. I know that this particular Muslim group is certainly not representative of all Muslims, but in my opinion doing a thing like that is a lot worse that the original publications which were made in an officially Christian but also but very secular country like Denmark.
