Furthermore, the only Christian nations which didn't separate Church from state in the last 200 years were Ireland and Spain (both now secular), Italy, Portugal, Latin America, Lebanon before Iran occupied and took it over, and now Georgia. The last time a Christian nation occupied a Muslim nation it was when Mussolini's troops landed in Libya, and they just paid them reparations out the ass for it, not that Libya deserved it after Lockerbie. By contrast, Muslims have occupied many Christian nations in the lst 200 years, including, but not limited to: Greece, Lebanon, Nigeria, Kenya, Eritrea, Mali, the southern Sudan, Thailand, Burma, and the once-Hindu Bangladesh, where Pakis killed 3 million in 1971. Not since the Spanish Inquisition has any Christian nation ever, as a nation, derided or denigrated Islam, Muslim practices (aside from terrorism, despotism, and endless human rights violations), or Muslims in general. Christian European nations did try to help and to civilize Muslims in Sudan, Egypt, Iraq, Somalia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, "Palestine," and just about everywhere else financially. But Muslims can persecute, maim, abduct, forcibly convert, loot, raid, rob, rape, and conduct state-run ethnic cleansing of Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, Zoroastrians, atheists, apostates, homosexuals, feminists, women accused of adultery, animists, agnostics, scientists, poets, artists, musicians, legitimate journalists, cinematographers, photographers, dogs, independent thinkers, teachers who respect the truth regarding science and history, those who don't support despotism and totalitarianism, and those who engage in consentual rimantic relationships independently of incestuous Sharia sex slavery in every Muslim nation, as they've been doing since time immemorial, as well as destroying, taking over, and forbidding the building of Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Hindu, Sikh, and Zorastrian holy sites. I'm still waiting for Saudi Arabia and Egypt to apologize for their people destroying St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church right down from the WTC. In Egypt they raid monasteries and torture monks every Friday, and every day mosque loudspeakers, aside form the 5 times a day call to prayer, intentionally disrupt church services with the throat-slitting call of 'Allah-hu Akbar!' in Alexandria and Cairo.

The irony of this laughable statement is that offending Muslims, even unintentionally (and it’s hard NOT to offend them anymore, since many of them latch onto any ridiculous excuse, such as a McDonald’s ice cream swirl or a Nike logo) can be disastrous for your jugular. But you don’t seem to find that objectionable. Do you, Mr. Martillo? Do you find riots and murder an acceptable response to satire? You can have the last word - literally, since a simple yes or no will suffice.Mark Tapsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14521629217505250274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18600181.post-66646762882268020662008-09-19T09:27:00.000-07:002008-09-19T09:27:00.000-07:00I agree that it's not worth having Religion of Pea...I agree that it's not worth having Religion of Peacers trying - in accordance with their doctrine - to chop off you and your family's heads after you've mentioned their weird, primitive, barbaric deathcult without a string of arse-kissing superlatives, obfuscation and downright falsehoods.<BR/><BR/>What he should've done is written the Muslim character out. I mean, a Muslim in space? That's not very realistic. The only times Muslims have been in space is due to buying a ride (i.e. space tourism), not of their own merit. Afterall, partaking in mass murder, threats of genocide, beating of women and general intolerance and hatred a.k.a. devout Islamism, doesn't leave much time for cultural and scientific progression and enlightenment.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02751947535459615148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18600181.post-26005330181378839552008-09-19T09:01:00.000-07:002008-09-19T09:01:00.000-07:00I believe that he should have refused to do the mo...I believe that he should have refused to do the movie.<BR/><BR/>Otherwise, how can he make statements like that and not fight for them?

(Fleming Rose is an example.) Offending them could be disastrous for a career.<BR/><BR/>In any case, when a Danish Christian makes fun of Christianity, the impression cannot be compared with that made when a Danish Christian satirizes Islam -- especially because European Christians have been invading, occupying, colonizing, exploiting and looting Muslim countries for the last 200 hundred years and justifying this behavior by denigrating or deriding Islam, Muslim practices, and Muslims in general.Joachim Martillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00121944171459090792noreply@blogger.com
