Basically, westernisation offends them.
Mass murder of innocent people is fine though.
Blow up a library, take the kids to bomb making school and then home to your sister for some (fully clothed) afternoon delight. All in a days work.

i went to visit a Mosque the other day.
can you believe it?! - they asked me to remove my shoes before entering!
remove my shoes!
remove my shoes?!so i got in touch with the local papers and tv and hit the headlines with "Muslim asks white christian to remove his shoes!"
yup indeed, this is ALL getting very silly all this apartheit that we are creating when we should all be working to live together in harmony among everyone who WANTS to live in harmony while working against weeding out the people who DONT.
it should all be give and take - you respect my ways and religion and i'll respect yours!
if im allowed to request you take off your veil when you come into my home then you should be allowed to ask me to remove my shoes when i enter your mosque.give and take is all thats needed. not all this bickering.

"now, am i wrong to suggest that many dutch think twice about levying any criticism toward islam?"
this is true. and it sucks.
terror here is small, yet, unfortunately, still effective, just like our country is. if you go to far in your islam related criticism you simply risk your own life.

I do like seeing hurtful factless critics get shot down, cause they have no real motive but to shit on it. Thats all folks.

(Oct 15 06, 18:15)ah...
metaphorically speaking?
...cause that's what i'm getting at here.
islam (often) works to restrict freedom at it's most basic level.
an example?
refugees given shelter in one of the freest of countires, couldn't deal with a harsh criticism.
murdered for a simple film.
...and do alittle reasearch on "honor killings" in europe before saying hirsi ali and van gogh shit on anything.
i think they were spot on.
now, am i wrong to suggest that many dutch think twice about levying any criticism toward islam?
knowing their life might be on the line?
do your thing, fine.
but i'm gonna do mine.
...and that just might be selling mohammed pinatas filled with pornography, crucifixes, and pork rinds.
until muslims can deal with that, they'll never be able to deal with the west.
freedom of expression has no limits.

And a side note for all of you who love bashing anyones religion, not just Islam, seriously, Religion is as perverted by man, as politics, and business. They taint it for power and money, period. Religion is a spiritual and individual link between a human being and their God, so why would it matter what someone else said about it, will it matter in the end, when (as believers believe) you will be judged for your life, nothing else matters except you and what you did in life, thats it, so i never understand critics of religion, or terrorist using religion, or even athiest trying to tell you not to believe, Id rather talk to NTers about the war for the next year than have a discussion over ones faith, and what not, its not about being right, its about being a good man or woman, treating people around you with rrespect no matter what they believe. I do like seeing hurtful factless critics get shot down, cause they have no real motive but to shit on it. Thats all folks.

stupidest thing ive seen yet, its Ramadan, people should worry about cleansing the soul and body, and becoming humble and modest, and closer to God, not worry about a cube, if thats the case they should sue Mecca clothing, and anyone who plays with legos, Im gonna go pray for all you Cube building Infidels to feel the wrath of God, silly

(Oct 15 06, 14:57)uhm, i hope you know what the root of the issue in this story is, if not, read more or don't touch this subject.
i am just saying this as i have been overloaded with this story here as I am one of the sad/lucky people to live in this country that cannot get to grips with itself.

...and that rushdie interview cactus just posted is very good.
this is something i've never heard in the "media"
"" Within this Talibanist morality, there is room for great slabs of delusion and hypocrisy. In Shalimar the Clown, Rushdie shows sparingly how the jihadi fighters of Afghanistan have sex with adolescent boys, and the next day chop to pieces men they have dubbed "homosexual". "One of the great untold stories of al-Qa'ida is that they are all these men who fuck little boys. They all have these disciples who they're ostensibly training in the way of the warrior, but they're also enjoying. For a while, then they go off - and they have their wives and families at home. It's like Classical Greece." Does he think Osama bin Laden has done it? "I wouldn't like to say," he says tactfully. "He's an Arab, he's not an Afghan. But Mullah Omar, he's another story..." ""
ultra religious fundamentalists have been known to? ...but i'd need more than one reference.
