All this over a few Pakis in the UK protesting a film, huh?
Can somebody direct me to the thread protesting these protests?
A comparison:
"Thousands have come together to show peacefully to the western world that the production and promotion of a recent film insulting Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) has caused hurt to Muslims all over the world. We are a peaceful community and we will do everything to protect peace and respect for all on equal basis. Its not fair that some people insult Islam everyday and preach hatred through their actions and words but the lack of legislation encourages such elements. We want to tell our government that we welcome debate and constructive criticism of our religion but insults are unacceptable and inflammatory language is contributing to the rise of extremism amongst youth in western countries where youth mistakenly believe that the West hates Islam and Muslims. (OP)
"As far as I know, the magnitude of this act of public reparation is unparalleled. The moral outrage is real and Catholics proved it by forming the largest grassroots protest against blasphemy in history, said TFP president Raymond E. Drake. We will not remain silent as Our Divine Savior is publicly ridiculed and reviled by The Da Vinci Code or any anti-Catholic display of disrespect that targets the sacred person of Our Lord. (link above)
See the difference?
Me neither.
Perspective: the buzzkill of paranoia.
Is your point that extremists are extremists, that they are all the same, that all attempts at inflicting one certain 'faith' on society is wrong, or what?
