I feel that one should try to lead a 'balanced' life.
Is it possible that religion is far too important to some people?
Most religions are full of wisdom and philosophy (people used to think more when there was no electricity) but it is important not to take religious concepts too literally...
To have your whole life, your entire existence revolve around religion, is just wrong!

I seriously don't see what the fuss is all about with those cartoons.
You'd never see the catholics react like that whenever cartoonists made fun of the pope.
This kind of cr@p is the reason that i despise ALL religions...

I have some sage wisdom to share: "Religion is like a fart; everyone's stinks except your own".
That from an ex catholic seminarian.
Americans seem rather indifferent to religious humor but the Brits and the Irish have it down to an artform!

You're smarter than me, Daniel; took me a long time. Actually wanted to be a catholic priest when I was young (I think I was programmed that way 'cuz I was the youngest. Spent a number of years in the seminary where, I confess (he-he), I learnt my favorite bad habits before deciding that they were the only things worth knowing in that place.

religion is something that was created with the intent of keeping the human race from going insane with the fear of death.
unfortunately religion has turned many people of a certain faith insane to the point that they call for beheadings and jihad over a cartoon,
surely no religion with a true god would ever wish death upon others no matter what the situation.
i think that every person that attended the riots related to this cartoon should be shot dead without question (not including law enforcement officers)as its quite obvious that they are all extremists and could easily be and most likely already are a threat to public safety.

I think a lot of this might be due to the fact that many of these people and countries are third-word or quasi so and uneducated, very superstitious and respectful/fearful of their authority figures. Take south africa in the early 90s; health organizations were making pretty good progress convincing even married couples to use protection until HIV testing could be established in their areas. In comes the pope who some consider a saint and tells them that if they wear a rubber they'll burn in hell. I needn't tell you what happened! The catholic church ended up being a big contributer to the AIDS problem. There is simply a certain type of thinking amoung the uneducated and third world types that these people who are telling them what to do must be right because of who they are. A sort of manifest destiny thing.

no offence to any other ethnic backgrounds here but i know full well that if those protesters had been white all of them would have been arrested and charged for promoting violence...
i mean just imagine what would have happened a bunch of white people walking around shouting "death to muslim cartoonists" with signs saying "behead all those who defy england"
but if they had arrested the muslim rioters the police would have been called racist for doing so and they would all have been released.
The world has gone mad
everyones a racist apart from a black man

The thing that annoys me is Arab countries asking why the western world hates them when they know full well it was Bin Laden that masterminded 9/11 and killed over 3,000 people.

@SypherTec: My apologies guy! I didn't know people we're rioting in London ... that hasn't made the new here at all. Just Pakistan, Indochina, Lebanon etc. etc. Riots in England seems to have escaped notice of the press on this side of the pond...not surprising though I guess; rioting in the Arab world is more sensational and legitimizes certain agenda (agendae? agendum? agendi? jeez my grammar sucks!)

Us Brits have an incredibly complex sense of humour, ridicule & satire, esp political & religious, are our most popular. We enjoy poking fun at everyone, that is why I like Trey Parker & Matt Stone, Matt Groening, Seth McFarlane. They like to tell it how life really is. The more cutting the better as far as I am concerned.
The fact that there is rioting because of these cartoons just shows the complete lack of tolerance or understanding of the western way of life. I find this worrying, as nearly all learned Muslims insist that Islam is a peace loving religion. I tend to concur with them. Just because a few people acts irresponsibly, does not mean they all are. Fundamentalist Christians do not have a good track record.
"Let he who has not sinned cast the first stone"
Those were words of great wisdom. Whether Jesus said it or not, is up to the individuals' belief.
I am not a religious person, I thank my parents for that.
I am glad that I am not.

@pulsar: I couldn't argue with you about Brit humor, the complexities of it and the no holes barred subject matter...the US may have no holes barred subject matter but truth is, I don't find American humor terribly funny...perhaps because I didn't grow up with it; I was raised in Quebec. I much prefer British humor. I'll have to investigate the names you mentioned. Years ago, I remember watching Dave Allen (was he english or irish, don't remember) anyway, that kind of religious humor and that long ago would have never passed the censors here in the US.
