Heels20X6 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 You're probably right, but the Christian wackos don't seem as wacko as the islamic wackos. Wow, so many wackos. They'll kill you just for drawing a picture of mohamad (seems a bit more extreme). That's the problem with how people see Islam though. There are Muslims, who are usually regular people who practice a religion that is MAINLY about peace and then there are the EXTREMISTS - absolute wack jobs who follow the word of the Koran to the letter and make the entire religion look bad. We have Christian extremists too - usually they're driving trucks into Oklahoma buildings or shooting abortion doctors. HOWEVER, there are far less Christian extremists than there are Muslim ones so hence the perception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islam is a religion of peace, just like Christianity is a religion of tolerance. The real problem is that both religions need to be rescued from their followers.

CarolinaBill Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 it is a key belief that muhammed should never be shown, which is why they put him in the bear suit. I think these guys have their turbans in a bunch over nothing. South Park did not mock muhammed, or depict him. Hell they showed Buddha doin coke, where's the uproar from the Buddhist community?

Good question...I don't think I've ever heard of a Buddhist extremist....maybe they truly are the religion of peace.... ...nah, I'm sure we can find a wacko.

Buddhist Extremist The only religion I can think of that didn't have extremists is the old Mongol shamanistic beliefs - the Mongols themselves were violent !@#$s, but not religious extremists - their beliefs w/r/t other religions were basically "We already believe in three thousand different gods, what's one more?"

I would suggest that if they're intolerant or waging war, then they're not followers. But, rather, bitter people that are good at manipulating others and using Islam and Christianity as tools to control others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest that too...but in the meantime, they're suggesting they are, and waging Holy Wars, and have God and Jesus and Allah and whomever standing up there in Heaven/Paradise/wherever saying "For !@#$'s sake, will you lunatics stop claiming to represent me already?!?!?!"

Just Jack Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 That episode also aired in 2001. It has not been an issue for 9 years. Why now? It was a new episode that aired last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 It was a new episode that aired last week. But this reaction is exactly what they spoofed in the 'Cartoon Wars' episode from several years ago. I'm guessing that's what bills_fan was referring to.

Chef Jim Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 It really does seem more wacko, you do have a point. They get all up in arms over Mohammed in a freaking bear costume? I wonder what it feels like to have zero sense of humor... But how do you know that was really Mohammed in a bear costume? Huh? Huh? Huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lockport Bills Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 that episode was awesome, especially when they ask moses about putting muhammed in a u-haul, he says 'um, are there windows in the u-haul?" it was awesome +1 I loved Muhammad's voice too.

I would expect a world wide organization that routinely kills hundreds of people at a time with explosives would get more attention then a lone gunman.
