Anti Mohammed Movie?

Egypt to try 7 Copts, US pastor over Prophet film.

CAIRO – Egypt's general prosecutor issued arrest warrants Tuesday for seven Egyptian Coptic Christians and a Florida-based American pastor and referred them to trial on charges linked to an anti-Islam film that has sparked riots across the Muslim world.

I remember a big fuss about "The life of Brian". Stupidity knows no race/class/religion. It's an equal opportunity endowment.

True but there was no rioting in the streets or bombing of British embassies over the "Life of Brian".

T.A.

No but I recall the Church of England being quite miffed

Christians riot because of a flute band parade

"Hijacked vehicles were set alight and in some cases were driven into police lines while motorists were advised to stay away from the area.

As on Sunday night, loyalists near the Lower Shankill estate bombarded police officers with up to 15 petrol bombs, fireworks, bottles and bricks.

The violence at the weekend followed a parade by a republican flute band passing by nearby Clifton Street Orange Hall."

Yeah, because Christians would NEVER throw bombs or riot over something dumb.

Never said they wouldn't. But this act is not about a movie. The band marching that route was an act of deliberate provocation in the long standing Orange vs Green thing Ireland has, and is about more than just religious differences.

This is more like the Serb vs Croat thing that effects Eastern Europe.

T.A.

The video was an deliberate provocation in the long standing West Vs.Middle East thing which is about more than just religious differences.

I just take exception to the sanctimonious comments here about how Christians would never behave like this and therefore so much better than Muslims.

The war in Northern Island is a long standing religious war which is also about other deeper issues....

Religious wars are stupid.

Christians are just as guilty of stupidity as anyone else.

So there is no need for anyone here to be claiming that somehow Christians would never behave in such a terrible way....

Feel free to condemn the idiocy of people without somehow ascribing it to the particular imaginary being they chose to believe in.

The video was an deliberate provocation in the long standing West Vs.Middle East thing which is about more than just religious differences.

Agreed. But the extremists should not have blamed an entire country for the actions of a couple of nutcases

And now the French have been put at risk because Charlie Hebdo magazine has published some anti Mohammed cartoons...
Free speech or incitement?

How would they know the difference? Over there the media said the film was made by the US Government, and still does. They believe that the government here has a 100% spy on private citizen capability. Since the government knew about it and didn't stop it then the government endorsed it. It is what they know to be the truth.

I gets to the point of Guilt by association.

We have freedom of speech on the US. Someone exercises that right in a defamitory way to an entire religion. The US gets blamed because we allow free speech.

Much like the KKK and other racist groups this film falls under the "Not important enough to worry about" filings. It isn't relevant. Someone or some group made it relevant to Muslims.

I'd like to also point out that we have several million Muslims in this country. Are they to blame as well? Why aren't they protesting and burning gov't buildings down. First, because we don't act like that as a society.
Second, they probably heard of this video the same way we did, from the violent protests.

To amplify ...

Pakistani officials say they have opened an investigation into a businessman who has been accused of blasphemy after refusing to join protests over an anti-Islam video and allegedly trying to convince others also not to take part.

Police officer Munir Abbasi says that hundreds of protesters in the city of Hyderabad who rallied against the film that mocks the Prophet Muhammad demanded businessman Haji Nasrullah Khan shut his shops in solidarity.

When Khan refused, one of his tenants said his decision supported the film.

City police chief Fareed Jan said Wednesday the protesters claim Khan insulted the Prophet.

Jan said there's no evidence to suggest this happened and said police were pressured by the mob to open the case.

Blasphemy is punishable by life in prison or death in Pakistan.

Victimology airbrushes oppression against own

The telling moment in court on Tuesday was when supporters of a young Muslim man charged with affray during a demonstration in Sydney on Saturday stayed in their seats when the magistrate entered the court. It was an act of disrespect for Australian law. These men respect sharia. They want to live under the caliphate of Islam.

Instead, they inhabit the caliphate of the mind. They are members of a strand of Muslim fundamentalists who live in the West and exploit the West while despising the West.
