Would be good if the BBC could actually spell the Qur'an wouldn't it?

Its probably the case that if no one had stopped him coming over for his film show no one else would have noticed and there would have been no controversy.
Nothing like the oxygen of publicity.

And yes if it comes to it I too believe that freedom of speech is paramount,whoever it upsets.

It would be good if the Muslims themselves could choose a single spelling!

The Muslim Council of Britain are clear on that point. Islam is a peacefull belief system, not just a religion, more a way of life.
They would say that...

Maybe they should try reading it. As much as there's room for interpretation, it's very clear in passages.

I youtubed 'fitna' to see what this is about. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZ9Y5CHRPlM

I think he should be allowed toput his point across. People can make of it what they want.

You should try the bible - that is quite clear in places too! Eye for an eye?

Religious books are hideously outdated fictional accounts of something which may or may not have happened. May as well lead you life on Diceman....

Wouldn't know - but paedophile is a term not applied in them days. If they had passed puberty then they were a woman. Careful not to judge something on the morals of today - but if it is being held up as a beacon to live your life by......
