No mohammed discussion?

Typhoid, I'm beginning to wonder if you actually have a point in all this. It's beginning to sound like your typical inane circular logic.

+ 5 Internet points.

Read my last post, you know - the one where I adressed you with my point.

Edit: Here, I'll do it for you.


"I'm trying to get the point across that A) Freedom of Speech is not universal B) The Middle East in general has a VERY different culture - at least amongst the extremists. They aren't as relaxed as we are about shit like this."

That's not a point, you're just telling us facts that we already all know. Honestly, so what are we supposed to do with those two supposed points? Are we supposed to kowtow to violent people because they pulled some rule out of their ass 1500 years ago and they're not ok with people making fun of them yet?

Good, then you agree my points as being fact.


Good discussion, carry on amongst yourselves.

I'll just add this:

The media isn't avoiding the utterance of Mohammad out of respect. They are avoiding the name out of abject fear. That cannot be described as good under any definition of the word.
