Thousands of Muslims protest in Whitehall about Charlie Hebdo
|
.....because there's nothing worse in the world than a cartoon, is there?
Words just fail, sometimes.
Ten thousand Muslims are protesting outside Downing Street and the Ministry of Defence against the publication of cartoons depicting Mohammed. The cartoons – which led to the brutal massacre at the French magazine Charlie Hebdo – were described by the group as a “violation of Islamic law”.
The crowd held banners saying “Charlie and the abuse factory” and “learn some manners” as they called for the world to observe Muslim blasphemy rules. The group taunted the grieving families and supporters of the murdered Charlie Hebdo journalists by using the “#JeSuisCharlie” hashtag to tweet pictures of the rally.
Men and women were divided within the protest as they waved a huge “Be Careful With The Prophet” banner close to the Cenotaph. The sign was widely taken as a direct threat to British military forces, whose lives are commemorated at the memorial.
The protest was organised by the Muslim Action Forum (MAF), which said that the Charlie Hebdo cartoons had helped “sow the seeds of hatred” and had damaged community relations.
British media refused to show the Charlie Hebdo cartoons, despite repeated requests from French journalists. This led Shaykh Noor Siddiqi, from the MAF to tell the rally: “The actions of the UK media in not publishing the cartoons is highly appreciated by British Muslims and we hope that this kind of self-restraint and mutual respect will ultimately lead to a harmonious society.”
At the rally the MAF handed out leaflets that read: “The recent re-publishing of the cartoons, caricatures and depictions of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) by Charlie Hebdo magazine and other publishers is a stark reminder that freedom of speech if regularly utilised to insult personalities that others consider sacred.
“Such actions are deliberating insulting and provoking to Muslims worldwide as British citizens, we believe that these publications will continue to ‘sow the seeds of hatred’ and damage community relations.”
The video blogger Pat Condell, who is known for his criticism of Islam responded to the protests by saying: “Their religion’s responsible for so much evil, yet all they can protest about is cartoons. Contemptible.”
Whilst around ten thousand Muslims attended the protest a total of one hundred thousand signed a petition that was handed in to number 10 Downing Street. It says the production of cartoons of Mohammed are “an affront to the norms of civilised society”.
At one point during protest stopped for prayers and they whole crowd prayed towarded Mecca.

Not sure where the strawclutching is.
Baptist endtimers do go around Africa with the sole intention of bringing about the conditions for the Endtimes...I know this because certain members of my family have actually done this.
Clearly you are either misrepresenting what I wrote or you didnt read it properly. I said that Endtimers should take responsibility not those who belief in Jesus...
Im glad we agree that religions or lack of religions dont make a difference, people are cunts.Cunts with guns/bombs kill people.

Maniac,
You started with this spectacular bit of straw clutching,
"Christians who burn out Abortion clinics and missionaries in Africa who spread the word that Safe sex with Dunkies is a sin so that AIDS will spread to bring around the "End times"'"
And ended with this,
"Focus on the good that people do and we'll all be a lot better off for it"
A remarkable display of logic from someone clearly determined to tar those nasty Christians with anything you can, whilst absolving Islam of any responsibility for anything.
Incidentally, I'm not averse to defending Islam or Muslims if I feel they're unfairly done by. I've done it on this thread many times, and on the recent death penalty thread where the Koran was getting the blame for the world's capital punishments. On that thread I was able to point out that the Islamic world has nothing on atheist China who it comes to capital punishment.

Not really.
I would have PEOPLE take responsibility for their actions.
Christians who burn out Abortion clinics and missionaries in Africa who spread the word that Safe sex with Dunkies is a sin so that AIDS will spread to bring around the "End times" are responsible, not a belief in Jesus.
I can see why you would say "would have it responsible for nothing." because its a convenient way to deal with what Im saying and dismiss it as though its nonsense. The fact of the matter is that ISIS/IS/ISIL or what ever they are called are killing more Muslims on a daily than any other groupand yet we are blaming Islam rather than cunts with guns.
Any way...been here before, very few agree with me and those that do remain silent and I cant be arsed with another shoe-in.
And yes, the data is probably wildly inaccurate and old but seeing as most of the stuff that is posted here about Muslims is also wildly inaccurate so it should be in good company.
Focus on the good that people do and we'll all be a lot better off for it.

Interesting article but it is nearly 6 years old and it does not define what a 'sepretist' is and what they consider constitutes a terrorist attack

That looks like a reliable website aiming for impartiality. I looked at the report from 2008 where it said that there were no Islamic terror attacks in Europe. It made a big deal of that. That was the same year where Islamist gunmen in Mumbai gunned down at least 166 people.
Maniac, when it comes to this subject, you and Shorty are two sides of the same coin. Where he would have Islam responsible for everything, you would have it responsible for nothing.

Probably a bit more now since Hebdo but the point may or may not stand, depending on your point of view as to what constitutes 'terrorism'.

No, it makes you wonder who is compiling the statistics and what they define as 'terrorist activity'.
