Awww a few anti Islam sentiments expressed on YouTube and they close it down. Maybe if Islam wasn't backed by a huge number of people who despise every other religion there wouldn't be any anti Islam sentiments!

How much more fucking ignorant can you be?
Apparantly Muslims hate people of every other religion? What bullshit, someone's clearly not done their research. You some kind of hick? (excuse my language).
Sorry, it just gets me frustrated when people insult Religions with total ignorance. (Not saying religion is right blah blah)
As for the news topic itself, an anti - Islamic movie huh? I'm gonna go check if there's been any other movie that's anti- x religion.
You can blatantly tell what this Dutch guys aim is, to turn others against Islam just by filming factors that are only true in certain areas. E.g. Muslim man beats his wife. This idiot director will CLAIM this is what Islam is about, when it's just that families dilemma.
Argh.......there goes my rant for today...

Read my statement again. I said a large number not all of them. You know what I hate? When a bunch of Muslims come to my country and try to change laws and everything else to suit them! I never asked you to come here. I wish Muslims would stay in their own countries if they feel they want to change everything when they get here. Go live near Mecca and have it your own way!

Ha, another misconception, what makes you think I'm Muslim just because I'm not biased? Well anyway this whole thing about Muslims trying to incorporate Shari'a Law is an interesting topic. Was discussing this with a couple of Philosophers the other day. And I realised how blown out of proportion the media has made this situation.
Let's get one thing straight Muslims are not trying to over throw our current Law with theirs so that they can live happily ever after, No.
They just want Western countries to realise that there are CERTAIN laws that can benefit the West (minor lessons from the East, if you will).
One example is a dowry (but in this case it's the groom that pays the woman). In case there's a divorce or the groom dies, the bride can stay financially secured with the butt load of money the groom/ groom's family gave her. Currently we have this in a form of a ring but we have no Law to prevent this fraud. The husband can just say "Ok, we're divorced give me my ring back now".
So, before hating as such. I'd advise you to do further reading when you read topical issues like this.
Muslims aren't saying that we should have a Law that allows us to behead thieves etc. No, that's ridiculous- and that's precisely what Conservative media likes to show.
All in all, Muslims just want certain laws from Shari'a that can benefit the West. If it was such a silly idea to replace the current Law with Shari'a to benefit Muslims, I sincerely doubt that this debate in Parliament would take so long. (if it was silly, would they not have out right declared NO to these Muslims? They're still deciding upon it)
Regards-

I have to agree; quite frankly deeply religious people scare the crap out of me. I?m not going to elaborate or go into detail simply put I don't trust any large organized religion.
I don?t want to offend anyone and this is only my opinion.

The same can be said about politics, racism, etc. So you can't just point the finger at religion.

there are scary extremist groups in every religion, you just have to go to Mid West America/ The Bible Belt to see just how scary right wing Republican christians can be - unless you are married for 20 years and have produced 12 children and go to church twenty times a week, they believe you should be shot.
having said that, it does seem that the most "popular" extreme reactionist groups belong to Islam - from the Salman Rushdie incident to the Danish cartoonist to the English teacher in Sudan who was jailed with crowds calling for her execution because her Muslim students decided to call the class teddy bear Mohammed - it does make you think that if these people have such absolute faith and belief in the divinity and righteousness of their own faith - why do they have to react so hysterically when a non believer ( infidel ) decides to make a joke or even an innocent mistake ( the tedy bear )
I'm reminded of a conversation I had with a group of friends in Birmingham (UK) when one of them (a Muslim) gave us a lecture on the reason why he never engaged in our political or religious discussions " because my religion is superior to yours and we are superior in general " - I then questioned if he felt that way why he did not live a 100% Muslim way of life and return to pakistan where he was born ( until I discovered that he had 4 kids and had never worked a day in his life ( had been claiming social security for 8 years ) and couldn't afford to go home as the government provided no state assistance or long term unemployment benefit.Yeah, really superior huh ?
I feel if they were really so secure and confident in their own belief then they could easily rise above such trivial concerns - the reaction betrays their insecurity more than anything else....exactly the same as the reaction of Scientologists in the states when anybody dares to question them and is then vilified in public and followed by big black vans with tinted glass.
Wouldn't it be great if one day we could have absolute proof that "God" didn't exist ? What I would pay to see the looks on the faces of all these stupid people, whatever their religion when they finally realise all their hysteria and obsession was for nothing.

On another note, they said on the BBC News today that the Pakistani blocking of youtube had triggered a worldwide effect and due to dns issues, the entire site was down for the entire world for 2 hours yesterday - is that true ?

I look at religion as a form of media, and use the train of thought, "fanboys are for lulz" the or the fagotry is getting think in here.
(Zippyisim alert(a zippyisim is a misconstrued/warped sentence/word group mixing meanings and themes for humor or to make a point.
fagotry post modern:" total stupidity usually marked by deceit or double crossing" or a screw up thats painfully annoying.
fagotry: pre modern:(at least the zippy version there of) the job of making bundles of sticks.
appolgies if Iz offend.

Religious fanatics are a problem true. But the core issue is about intolerance. And poltics and racism has killed just as many people if not more.
World War II was about Facist Germany...tens of millions were killed in that war.
Communism vs Democracy...lead to many wars has killed millions
Serbian-Bosnian-Croatian war...they all hated each other and the ensuing war killed close to a million.
