Freedom Of Speech

Yet in this case we're discussing they (the police) stood and watched. Not only that but they arrested people who tried to take the banners away and many of those banners celebrated the London bombings (yet no U.K. publication published the cartoons).
For some reason, liberals over here somehow see moslems as anti-establishment and representing values we should emulate. What they simply don't grasp is moslems are conservative and are not at all liberal. They don't agree with gender equality, many believe in the death penalty even for lesser crimes and many don't believe in freedom of expression e.t.c.
Those simply aren't my values. Somebody once said a moslem has more in common with George W Bush than with me, for example, as at least Bush believes in God, morality and after-life while I simply don't.

"christianity" isn't even a coherent religion anyway.Just a loose collection of loony sects who have proven throughout history that whatever moral code they profess to believe in is a farce and a joke.
christianity...it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.
christianity...god wanted me to be president...
christianity...us tele-evangelist style...make a donation,"god" will make you rich...
Your unintelligent attempt to explain is valued for its comedic value.

No arrests were made because the Police EGT were operating, they are at this moment sifting through 60 hours of tapes, for two reasons.
PS. I thought that you claimed yourself as being a liberal.

Anyway, you never answered the question about your vast police expericence. Where were you a police officer, as you said?
As far as countries go, which have you lived in? Length of stay?
These are personal questions that do not take days or weeks to answer. So.....

And I'll repeat my other question. Please inform us of the last time burning and rioting occurred because a newspaper printed a cartoon of Jesus.

And PLEASE, get some adult supervision to show you how to use the computer.

These individuals never make the news because it is not sensationalism.
Every time I think the human race should be damned to the dark recesses I encounter examples of this process. Where would the world,as in humans, be without them.
An axe can be used as a tool or a weapon,yet does this make the axe a good thing or a bad thing?
Is it this thing "religion" that fails or those that misuse it?

SB: I am just an ingonorant hillbilly, but a stubborn one, and yet to be convinced that a moral belief system is wrong.
Maybe it is the Catfish clouding my mind.

Fortunately there are more good people than bad in the world.Perhaps it's better to think of the glass as being half-full...that there are more people who are prepared to help and share than not.
In the us,this is called "communism" or "liberalism".
As the us is generally described as a "liberal democracy" (and there can be no kind of democracy other than a liberal one) the denigration of "liberals" by the reperblicans on this forum makes me wonder at their motivation.I wonder,do they also disagree with Adam Smith (a self-described liberal)?


P.S. If you insist on eating a fish that even other fish won't eat,you should try to counter the effects by regularly flushing the system with plenty of water.The addition of malt,hops and yeast will make this more palatable.

You get an 8 for substance-Holy Grail is a great movie.
But you get a 0 for initiative. And 0 for creativity.
Next time try taunts that haven't been used in the last year, that'll make it seem like you as least tried.

Now, please provide the name of the newspaper that caused rioting by printing a cartoon of Jesus.
