Its cack isnt it, anything, anyone, any system, state, figure, religion, if it has any worth, has the strength to withstand a little ridicule and satire. To 'walk on egg shells' with any of these indicates that it has a serious weakness. Its like in the UK, you know if someone is a real mate because he starts taking the piss out of you.

The editor had the courage to stand up to the bull-boy tactics employed by morons and his cowardly owner fires him for it. Question is, are western countries ready to resist to economic pressures[^] to defend their ideals? Is money more important than everything? Here's the question.

Absolutely - Freedom of speech must be allowed flourish. People have been satarizing religion for a long time in Europe. This kind of action will only self-censure people and the problem with that is that the feelings will build up and explode out rather than be released in managable doses.
The BBC wrote:
'Publications in Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Spain also re-ran the Danish cartoons on Wednesday to show support for free speech.'
And British media are too cowardly to do the same. This country is phuqued! To quote from some of the forum members on the BBC website: "Netherlands became independent after our struggle against Spain and it's Inquisition trying to force rigid Catholicism upon us. We fought for freedom of religion. There is no way we can even remotely consider giving one iota of that up. No way. What the world is experiencing now is intolerance of the kind not seen for decades. They want respect but do not give it back. And France Soir's owner should be ashamed." -- Marcel de Vries, The Hague, Netherlands "The self-appointed representatives of Islam want respect for their beliefs. I cannot respect people who oppress women and are generally intolerant of people with other beliefs. We haven't fought the stupidities and oppression of the catholic church for centuries, just to cave in now to people who are even more backwards." -- Ronald Vopel, Brussels "I don't seem to remember any Christian outrage at films like Dogma, with the statue of the "Buddy Jesus". Are Muslim religious leaders really so insecure that they have to be outraged at the slightest thing?" -- Paul Grier, London And here is one that really irritated me: "Peter Theakton, Europe is not running up against Muslim sensitivity, it's running up against the Almighty. It's not our rules that say Islam cannot be mocked, we wouldn't care at all...but Allah cares, so we must. This is a fight Europe cannot win, you must admit that there are lines you may not cross. You freedom of speech is not as important as our faith." -- Hariri, London I'm sorry - but freedom of speech comes above your faith, my neighbour's catholic faith, the faith of anyone for that matter including my beliefs that there is no supreme being at all.

You're correct to make that point. It shows both the power and the weakness of capitalism. Many of the civil rights issues were won by minority groups attacking the weaknesses presented by capitalism in US society. Boycotts, etc, are a great way to achieve your goals. But those goals are not always the direction we wish to go. Can we do the right thing even when doing so impacts the bottom line? "If anything, the West is awash in an epidemic of self-hate crimes."

I was away for the first couple of weeks of january so must have missed it. I have felt for a long time that terrorism, however awful, is not the real threat from islam, it is the birth rate. They'll just breed us out of the way! I see it ending a little like the land of the dead: a small, embattled enclave of what remains of the west surrounded by the brain-dead horde that is islam waiting to make us just like them.

That article is written by an Islam hater, who barely hides his bias and prejudice. It is also wrong. Did the Celts bemoan the loss of thweir culture to Rome? Yes, and yet it bought vast benefits to the populace. Did the Romanised Celts, now lounging around in steam baths bemoan their loss of culture to the Saxons and Jutes? Yes, and yet it gave us King Alfred. And did he in turn bemoan the influx of Danes? He fought against it, and yet it bought an even richer culture. And in turn, did the Norman French not impose yet more cultural change on the Celto-Anglo-Saxon-Danish melting pot? Yet it gave us probably the worlds best language (in terms of colour, nuance, poetic ability, flexibility, subtelty etc) And how about the Chicken Tika Masala being the UKs favourtite meal? Culture IS ever changing, it is not always painless, but it cant be stopped. To attempt to arrest a culture and preserve it is the final death knell. Nunc est bibendum

But the very fact that they have survived, surely, is de-facto evidence that they have merit even if we can't see it? (And I'm sure every good little muzzi boy will point out that could apply equally to islam). It show that the surrounding cultures allow them to do what they want. I can't see that happening in Londonistan or Brusselistan under Ayatollah Blair, can you?

There is nothing that better encapsulates the stupitidy and insanity of the left than those observation. All of those historic invasions were met with fierce oppostion. That opposition played as important a role in the subsequent social evolution as did any other factor. What is going on in the west is not some kind of social darwinianism. It is cultural and genetic suicide. The west is not being displaced by Islam because Islam is somehow culturally superior - it is because the west is under the control of factions who simply will not allow it to fight back. Who actually want it to die because we are all supposed to feel quilty about our success as a culture and as a 'race'. Islam is not conquering with better ideas, culture and techology - it is being given a gift by a minority of western leftists - and the rest of us are considered the real enemy if we do anything other than stand and watch like so many happy idiots.

I don't think so. He only reprinted the cartoons. And as an editor, he should have known the impact. I find it irresponsible: if you know that these cartoons will offense many islamic people, then why print them? It's not as if those cartoons are that important. You could describe them of course, you can inform your readers about them. But reprinting them in the full knowlegde that you will only anger people, that's stupid. It has nothing to do with freedom of speach. That's almost the same as shouting "FIRE" in a full theater and create a panic that way. So yes: that idiot should be fired.

Because we are free to do so and that right should not be allowed to be subjugated or diluted by a vociferous minority that profess to find it offensive. I find many things in papers, books, etc highly offensiver either personally, racially or culturally and yet I defend the right of the perpetrator to say those things as I am strong enough in my beliefs to withstand attacks from any quarter and to either retort in kind or laugh. It is entirely disingenuous to throw the 'Fire' argument in: this is not the same thing: this creates an entirely artificial panic that is whipped up by the same mullahs that woul dhave ou killed as soon a slook at you. Have we become such cowards in the west that we'll let them walk over us and destroy us without a fight?

And culture isn't transmitted along purely racial lines, or necessarily passed from the conqueror to the conqurered. Greeks are are fair example of this. The Greeks that fought at the battle of Thermopylae were not the same ethnic group as the Greeks who fought at Troy, they were later invaders who adopted and adapted the indigenous culture. Yet the Greeks of thermopolae revered the same heros and Gods. Likewise, Roman culture owed a lot to the Greeks, hell they borrowed their pantheon and adopted stoicism (a greek philosophy) as the Roman ideal. And of course, the habit the roman legions had of picking up foriegn cults from conquered peoples is the reason why europe became christian. Ryan

They are not 0% loans, they are a theological slight of hand. Generaly they work by the 'lender' buying the property out right, then renting it to the lendee for the period of time required to pay it off (at a slightly increased rate, generaly more expensive than an infidel mortgage). Ryan

Damn, I haven't ventured into here for a while, and while I don't always agree with a lot of Stan's comments - this one hits things right dead on center. A-fuckin-men. My only quible is that I don't think the problem is just with the "left", I'd say it's problem prevasive through all parts of the US, and not limited to Dems or Reps (or left or right). I remember my Dad saying (10-15 years ago) that he had felt that Islam and the West were on a collision course, and it would end up being very violent. I didn't agree with him at the time. The more I read things like this in the news, the more I think he is right and that we'll see a major conflict (like WWII major) like this sometime very soon. And it seems a good chunk of responsibility for preventing this lies with the very same countries currently going apeshit over this silly cartoon. ¡El diablo está en mis pantalones! ¡Mire, mire!
