[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"][QUOTE="SquatsAreAwesom"] This is nothing but a romantic take on the matter. There are plenty of videos all over the internet in which our own soldiers are shown taking it personally. Further, there are plenty of cases in which they have also been charged for it. That said, if this is still your stance, do you believe only OUR soldiers share this trait? or all soldiers?SquatsAreAwesom

Have you been a soldier? If not then it's assumption on your part.

That is a very fallacious argument on your part. Once again, there is video evidence that contradicts your claims all over liveleak.

No it's not fallacious. Being shot at means you shoot back. Thinking otherwise is fallacious.

Haha, people will claim that it's the Jewish homeland referring to the people, but it hardly makes any difference. It's like saying Hamas isn't an Islamic terrorist group, only a Palestinian one.

Yet you would get laughed at if you say Hamas has nothing to do with Islam. Same for Zionism and Judaism.

grape_of_wrath



the difference is judaism is alsoa nationalism,while islam and palestinians aren't necessarily connected. and thehamas is an extrovertedly islamic group. the regime in gaza is basically a theocracy. which is incorrect in regards to zionism since most of it's founding fathers were deeply into socialism and communism and were by definition atheists.

But the reason Hamas carries out its activities is for Palestine, not for Islam. They use Islam as a catalyst for hate towards Israel.

then why commence with a palestiniancivil war and massacre the fatah personnel in gaza? because they feel that palestine should be governed as an islamic republic while the fatah is a secular socialist organization.

My argument was that soldiers shoot because they are shot at. It's logically sound. Assuming they sit and debate on political issues while facing enemy fire is fallacious. Which is correctly used in context here dude.;)

Hint: And enemy is one that is shooting at them.

Not all Muslims are extremists. It is quite unfortunate that extremism destroys the public image of an entire religion.

Freedom of Speech my ***. Anyone with half a brain cell would know that picture drawn intentionally to hurt muslims. Theres a difference between freedom of speech and being down right offensive!

Disturbed123

Yeah, not so much.

I read the article in Jyllands Posten, did you?

He´s drawn numerous charicatures and toons depicting lots of different things, he is in no way excusively "targeting" the muslims. This is all in your head.

In Denmark, we are used to having the liberty to do as we please within reason, the artist did not see this aftermath coming, no one did really.

The reason they got republished in Jyllands Posten, was because Denmark wanted to set the example; that we have a thing called freedom of speech, and we enjoy practicing that right. The republishing had nothing to do with the Prophet, but it had everything to do with our embassies getting torched by instigators trying to threaten us into practicing their ideals regarding how we should run our own country.

Hamas won the election. Fatah (and the West) were being crybabies and attacked Hamas. The war had very little to do with Islam.

You aren't following the discussion dude. You used an appeal to authority to support your argument. Soldiers are not always under fire, and are not always the first to engage either. There are a number of cases, as I continue to repeat, in which our own soldiers have done things out of vengeance.

[QUOTE="DraugenCP"]

[QUOTE="gubrushadow"] there were millions of warlords , how did only one made such a huge culture ?? think again please .dramaybaz

Because the biggest monsters traditionally build the biggest empires.

What emprie? There was no empire until a few 100 years later. And well the whole warlord point is ignorant as it is, on its own merits.

Wrong. He was a military leader who ordered his warriors to butcher for his cause. He was a warlord who forced non-muslims to convert or he would have them killed. He was a violent blood thirsty man who killed christians and jews. He was a misogynist who thought women as slaves. He was a paedophile who took a child as a bride - in other words, he was a bad man.

No I'm following it. Vengeance would be your assessment. There are other factors at play which you are in no way able to determine.

Wrong.

Oh?

He was a military leader who ordered his warriors to butcher for his cause.

He and the Muslims were being persecuted and killed. What's wrong with them fighting back?

He was a warlord who forced non-muslims to convert or he would have them killed.

There isn't a single verse from the Koran or saying from the Hadith that endorses that.

He was a violent blood thirsty man who killed christians and jews.

...Out of self defense. He was friends with Jews and Christians as well.

He was a misogynist who thought women as slaves.

I'd like to see where you got this from.

He was a paedophile who took a child as a bride - in other words, he was a bad man.

Yes, as we all know, the age of marriage was ALWAYS 18. :roll:

Famiking



they didn't attack hamas, they were,however,unwilling to hand over portions of the PL authority's power to the hamas government. the hamas then proceeded to taking everything by force. if the well being of the palestinian people were really in minds of the hamas leaders, they wouldn't have split the PL territories in two, creating a very unfavourable situation for the palestinian people.

There are offensive pictures of Jesus published a lot, however they never bring about an international reaction like this guy had against him. People should really get over it ...

There is a difference between being shot at and deciding you don't like a cartoon. Very big difference. Nonetheless, the dude committed a criminal act. He has to deal with the consequences.

How exactly do you categorize a soldier who was shooting into civilian traffic, calling them racial slurs, a "soldier who is getting shot at?" It's as if you aren't even following our conversation.

This too was a criminal act, and he is being delt with.

I never implied they do not. However, once again, under the very same premise this man who attacked the cartoonist may also have been physiological stress, given we are bombing his people.

you know, people who do that sort of thingsaren't necessarily anti-muslim, anti-arab or anti-anything. it's usually people who feel like s**t(because of where they are, because they got placed on patrol twice in24 hours etc,because they were out of water in the outpost and the water truck isn't coming for another day.),and let out frustration.

this,however, has nothing to do with acombat situation where everybody is just trying to function.

Being in the line of fire is quite different with others being in the line of fire. As for the Fort Hood shooter...didn't he kill himself as well? I'd say he had some issues of his own that lead to his behavior.

I'm not a psychologist/psychiatrist. I make no excuses but such things have been known to change the mind of individuals. Though, you do make me curious: what is your take on the Fort Hood shooter?

Being in the line of fire is quite different with others being in the line of fire. As for the Fort Hood shooter...didn't he kill himself as well? I'd say he had some issues of his own that lead to his behavior.

That's what I thought, and no he didn't kill himself.

[QUOTE="Disturbed123"]

Freedom of Speech my ***. Anyone with half a brain cell would know that picture drawn intentionally to hurt muslims. Theres a difference between freedom of speech and being down right offensive!

BiancaDK

Yeah, not so much.

I read the article in Jyllands Posten, did you?

He´s drawn numerous charicatures and toons depicting lots of different things, he is in no way excusively "targeting" the muslims. This is all in your head.

In Denmark, we are used to having the liberty to do as we please within reason, the artist did not see this aftermath coming, no one did really.

The reason they got republished in Jyllands Posten, was because Denmark wanted to set the example; that we have a thing called freedom of speech, and we enjoy practicing that right. The republishing had nothing to do with the Prophet, but it had everything to do with our embassies getting torched by instigators trying to threaten us into practicing their ideals regarding how we should run our own country.

Sorry Bianca

Nobody said anything about how Danish ppl should behave or how they should run their country,ppl here said a lot about rights to publish or freedom of

speech but nothing about the fact that cartoons were ordered and published to equate entire religion with actions of few.You and i could do a lot of things but should we ?

That statement is almost oxymoronic. I think the actions that were taken against Denmark spoke it´s own little story, don´t you? Refusing to trade goods with our private sector, burning our flags and setting fire to our embassies? A picture will say more than a thousand words.

but nothing about the fact that cartoons were ordered and published to equate entire religion with actions of few.

What are you on about with this? Elaborate.

pecanin

This question is daft to me. That would entirely depend on what it is that we are planning to do in relation to the nature of the incentive we are responding to.

For the sake of satire, i think we should. Insults can be very funny. And if You don't like it You don't even have to see it. If You can't insult or laugh about something anymore, or can only show what people think is an agreeable truth........ well then that something is becoming very threatening and totalitarian, and it would be very hard to show anything without an axe murderer on our doorsteps.
In a free country You do get insulted, and i should be able to insult.

this is like waving the red flag in front of the bull.

if muslims find it offensive to have the face of muhammed in pictures then the ONLY reason someone does this who isn't a muslim is to incite a negative response. Then they try and hide behind "free speech" and claim they have a right to do whatever they want.

that is true but you also have to be prepared for the consequences

I could go to up a guy and just start calling him names and abusing him verbally, now I have a right to do that and there's no law that says I can't but should I then complain if I get socked in the mouth?

Normally I'm all too happy to take a shot at islam, but I don't think that this event is indicative of the feelings of many. I understand that there was a big uproar shortly after the cartoon surfaced, but most of those people have moved on with their lives.

The moderate muslims didn´t give a rats ass, until the extremists started putting their spin on it.

Also, i love how you go on to say that his incentive must be malicious, since he is not a muslim (because muslims never criticize their own culture nor religion, right? And subsequently get killed for it?), and that you assume his motives are strictly to incite a negative feedback. In what world does that make sense, in a media platform?

No one is "hiding" behind freedom of speech, but freedom of speech is being utilized for defensive purposes, and with good reason i might add, since a lot of the criticism were both directly and indirectly targeted at it.

The final part of your comment only goes to show a point, if i take all your assumptions for granted, but alas, i do not, since they are all false.

OK so if it was all about freedom of speech and satire and all that crap ,why all Danish papers or papers in all Scandinavian/Nordic countries didn't publish these ''innocent'' pictures/sketches .As for trade ,what did you really expect, not all people have same mentality,some are offended by something you and i find amusing others by simple gesture.Thing is that all this(cartoons)coincided with raise of popularity of certain nationalist parties in Denmark,and not only Denmark.

As for what we could do ,well lets take walk down any street in any Danish town and start yelling offensive comments at certain pl,let's start singing some Nazi songs in front of Synagogue ,lets start shouting word N***** in front of some black ppl ,or lets start insulting gays/fat people lets lend public support for pedophiles.List is endless,what i said at the beginning is that we can do a lot of things but question is should we ?Something that you and i find funny other people might take as grave insult and act accordingly.Editor of that paper and cartoonist should have asked themselves that question.;)

It´s not my job to educate you. You clearly understand very little of what went on, i suggest you read up on it, if you wish to become informed on the matter at hand.

Reading the final segment of your comment, i realize i probably couldn´t find the will to try and educate you on this, anyways. Lack of patience on my part, i guess. G´day.

for what reason other than to specifically offend muslims would a non-muslim draw the face of mohammed in a cartoon with a bomb on his head.

to raise awareness on the flux of how muslims and their systems of faith are by concious and/or subconcious connotations being percieved in modern society (either by media or political populism), as terrorism grows to a continued rise in the new millenia. It´s to spark thought on a controversial matter that was relevant when the toons were drawed, and relevant today.

Now, was that really that hard to see? ...

Whatever point you´re trying to get across, i literally cannot deduce it from your comment. o_0 What seminars? What religious debates? Who deemed what necessary? Who showed the drawings to the muslim world? The fundies did, it´s not like we send a copy of it to al jazeera. If things get misconstrued in that transaktion, how is it our fault? Are you even blaming us? I wish i knew your angle, it would make addressing your points a lot easier.

What a lunatic. He should consider himself lucky the cops didn't shoot him in the face. If he was in the US he'd certainly have been perforated with bullet holes.
