    France is under attack
    where do you stand? Muslim terrorists have again set out to attack France because it dares to allow depiction of that false prophet in satirical terms. The mad men are everywhere and they seeming come out of the woodwork like the worms they are, they travel vast distances to kill the innocent calling upon their false god and across the world others riot in support. It is time to remove this religion of death. If you would be free then be free of a dictitorial religion that sees death as a solution.

    Mudhutmad's followers scream and others follow

    Why does France allow satirical depictions of Islam's god?

    No doubt you have heard of liberty and freedom of speech and religion? Why then do you ask such a question? France has a free press. The Muslims think that any depiction of Islam's prophet is sacrilege. Who knows what they would do if Allah is depicted. In the western world nothing is sacrosanct and so the Christian God is depicted satirically without riots in the streets but in the backward world of the Muslim any suggestion that their false religion might be false is the highest insult

    Then why bother depicting the prophet? For what reason? "Satirically" would make ME angry!

    Because France believes in freedom of speech and expression . What no one has is a right to not be offended . Why should Islam get a special exception ? Artwork that disgustingly mocks Christianly is routinely displayed ,often supported by tax dollars . Should I have had the right to behead Chris Ofili because his depiction of Mary was disgusting and sacrilegious ?

    Bear in mind that France is avowed secular so everything is viable.
    Satire is all about causing offense to someone or other.

    Those are the fundie Muslims, much like the fundie Christians who are pushing for the End Times -- Armageddon and the Rapture.

    fundamentalist Christians like myself are not pushing for the beheading of unbelievers or the slaughter of millions, we do however recognise that God has told us what the end times will be like, and we are living in them, and much of the misery is visited on us by evil persons. No mistake Tal Islam is a manifestation of evil masqurading as a religion

    If you're referring to Revelation, that was written to a specific audience in a specific place during a specific time in history.

    That was the belief during the world wars, during the polio epidemic, and during other stressful periods in history.

    Evil persons who have been among us since Cain killed Abel.

    Then why has every Muslim I've gotten to know during the past 35 years (that means many Muslims including neighbors, library patrons, and a woman I'm currently tutoring) been a kind, generous person?

    Perhaps but prophesy has a way of having meaning for the here and now and the future. In a sense some of Revelation was visited in us during the first and second centuries but much of what was revealed then hasn't happened yet

    Yes but noone said that the events would happen all at once or that any one person who be an eye witness to all of them

    Yes Evil walks among us and has for all time. Muslims are required by their religion to be generous just as Christians are, but I'm not speaking about individuals but about a religion so base it requires the death of unbelievers. With Muslims you don't have many choices, it comes down to conversion, death or taxes and make no mistake that is the agenda
