    The core beliefs of Christianity were not the inspiration for any of those events. If we were to list these tenants of Christianity, as stated in the New Testament, I don't believe you'll find anything related to war against the enemies of Christ or His teachings. Go find it and then tell me Christianity is evil or responsible for those deaths.

    As for Stalin, his atheism was actually a hatred for God masked in a disbelief of God. His last act before he died was to raise his fist at the sky and grimace - presumably his final act of defiance to a God he must have believed in.

    Yes!

    Because there are many, many more, very offensive videos uploaded daily which do not result in anything like these protests on a daily basis.

    It is more than just the video which caused these riots. If anything it was just more fuel to the fire.

    Did you know that this youtube thing was released in July?

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-19602177
    As this continues to spread... how far you gonna ride this ship down before you accept that there is a bit of a problem? How long are you going to deny the reason for these violent reactions? How long are you going to continue to suggest that the "timing" of July release in conjunction to 9/11 was "on purpose"?

    Going to continue to blame 4 people OJLeb?

    It's just the usual pathetic, impotent right-wing American hate. Listen to the racist nutters ranting against their President. Sick lot!

    I do not hate anyone, however I will not tollerate murder for speaking freely.
    I am not racist, there is no such thing as race. I defy the notion on principal.
    I have not mentioned our president. He is my Commander in Chief, and while I disagree with a great many of his policies, I do not denegrate him.

    I simply disagree with the hypocricy involved in giving the Muslim world a pass. They cannot be held accountable for their actions because... whatever. I understand it is easier to demonize me, label me, insult and insinuate things about me than address my rational arguments. It's ok... but know, it is a thin veil.

    First, the blame belongs to those that commited the crimes and killed our Ambassador and others.

    Second, yes, they were inspired by religion, and it just goes to show how stupid religion is.

    Third, sure theirs is Muslim and they act far worse in recent times than other religions at commiting mass murder in the name of their God. So in that sense, yes, Islam is to be criticized. However, it certainly needs to be recognized that not all muslims believe in violence and the criticism needs to be focused on radical islam. If you want to nit pick the Koran, then you can nit pick the Bible, especially the old testament and find all sorts of smiting and killing in the name of God that is his wishes.

    Fourth, the guy who made this film is an idiot because of promoting peaceful Islam, he decided to make a film that would inflame the radicals and shows religious hate. Personally, I think religious hate on any side, muslims killing people, or someone making offensive films are stupid and ignorant. Though killing is far worse than making insulting movies.

    You realize the constitution protects you from Sharia law right? And that no where in the entirety of the USA, has ANYONE even TRIED to impliment Sharia law. You are aware of this right? You seem like the kinda person who actually WANTS a ww3 to happen, just so that we get to blow up brown people.

    I doubt anyone here will say they SHOULDNT be held accountable for their actions.


    But at the same time, the maker of this film DOES share SOME of the blame.

    On a human level, its a step back and think about it moment, that a life becomes less important than a political or religious statement. That a life is worth less than political or religious power plays. We are talking about living, breathing people. I only hope one day nations, citizens will realize that we are not all the same. We may dislike many things about each other but its not worth killing anyone over. It's a matter of accepting our differences and respecting each and every life.

    Firstly, you have to understand, all images of the prophet were banned so there was no worship of him, only Allah.
    There goes the first deliberate insult.
    Popping a bomb in his head was clearly the second.

    One has to ask why the cartoonist drew these crappy pictures.
    Was it funny or was it a deliberate attempt to cause trouble?

    It seems as if everyone is going bonkers over a relatively minor chain of events. Sure, the local yokels are wigging out. Embassies have been attacked. Four diplomats have been murdered. But look at what hasn't happened. I haven't seen any reports that Americans or Europeans have been attacked and harmed. And there are countless Americans and Europeans in those countries at this very minute. I think that's extremely noteworthy.

    So chill out. In the grand scheme of things it's not really that big of a deal. Once we get a bead on the responsible people we'll kill them. It may take a while but they're as good as dead. It doesn't matter who's President.

    Ctrl, what about it? There are protests, riots and melees all over Europe all of the time and 97% of them have nothing to do with Islam, Muslims, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), movies or cartoons made to provoke Muslims nor anything remotely related. The question that you need to ask yourself, you and others of this forum, is why would someone make an inflammatory cartoon and then intentionally distribute said carton, knowing the response? Think about it. Instead of allowing your reactionary mind take over, think about the statement that I have made and the question I asked.
    As for the KFC that was "torched" as the report says, who cares. It is not like Kentucky Fried Chicken is a vital matter, unless you are saying that selling poisonous foodstuffs to others is vital and germane to your existence. Heck, if any of the fastfood places where I live are torched, I would be like, "Oh Well."

    Most thinking people are aware that demonizing Muslim prophets/Gods will likely cause a violent response, those that purposely instigate, in the regard, do share some responsibility.

    Your analogy really isn't relative.

    Dude...they intentionally make "inflammatory" posts all the time. They don't care about the response. They're ignorant bigots anonymously sitting behind their computers spewing hatred towards anyone who isn't exactly like them.

    They would make a cartoon and distribute because they have the free speech to do so. Free speech is a core American value and it is a value to be protected, even if you don't agree with the message. It recognizes people see the world differently and allows people to see the world how they want.
