I'm not muslim - I'm Christian but after reading solooo's arguments, it seems she/it has flawed logic
The logic gates are fine.

Why did you refer to me as 'it'? Do you have a problem with woman and think they are beneath you?

Look guys this is beyong respecting religions...the film depicted REAL THINGS about muhammad whether they be disgusting or not...thats what is written in the hadiths the sunna and other commentaries. If muslims are so ashamed of the film they should take a good hard look at their own religion. I respect the muslim ...but after reading the texts (yes I am an Arab)...I cannot bring myself to respect the religion.

How is this beyond respecting religions... surely you understand that depicting the prophet if offensive to people regardless of how you are depicting him as an image.

It's a shame you dont respect the religion, I'm glad you found Marxism/Socialism/Communism instead as I'm sure you greatly respect the life teachings of Che instead.

And what was it in islam that u found so disturbing?, that it made you feel it is a religion not worthy of deserving respect?

sigh.. I guess the fact a comment like that gets so much support indicates two things.

Firstly that you cannot rely on a majority for justification of truth.

Secondly it reiterates that this whole debacle really is entirely about lack of respect and understanding. From both ends of the spectrum.

nah tbh it just highlights that religion is increasingly becoming incompatible with a modern society which cherishes 'things' like free speech and human rights.

Thirdly that it appears many active posters in this forum are very much anti-islam.

For innumerable valid reasons.
Ur statement itself is arguably invalid , as u have no support to this. All you have done so far in this discussion, is blatantly laid accusations against prophet Muhammad(saw) and accused Islam of preaching violence.

To have absolutely no respect for a religion, which when you study - shows that it preaches compassion, humility, modesty, selflessness, honesty.. The list goes on and on... These are good qualities. I do not assert that these qualities cannot be achieved without religion, I do suggest that many anti-theist's may struggle to, for example, not tell a lie - because if they believe that the other person will benefit from it (even if they wont).. they will lie - but thats a different discussion. My point is Islam still teaches these things.. To have no (as in 0%) respect forIslam suggests you do not respect the promotion of such qualities.

The fact you choose only to focus on the negative, in my opinion damages the validity of your opinions. As it leads me to believe you have an inability to be objective and and form your opinion on half-truths. As men who consider their cognitive process to be scientific.. I see a great flaw.

Anyway Admin - I'm sorry - I dont want to get the thread closed again due to religious discussion. I do feel however that this lack of respect for Islam in media outlets is a major contributor to issues like that from Saturday.
