Maybe that's my point....

.

What is? That christians are now a minority in the UK? That's not because we're overrun with immigrants or whatever, it's because Christian worship's dropped like a stone.

Well I'm of no faith, so I'd appreciate it if no-one says anything against nothingness as it's not actually possible to offend me, which isn't quite fair really is it?

I've been saying this for a while now.

Religion will be the death of us all eventually. The sooner practicing any religion is outlawed worldwide the sooner we will learn to get on with life instead of what you may wish to believe will happen after it. What really do we gain from it.

Faith? A totally unnecessary concept.
Respect is the only thing you need to practice.

As for all the fuss and protesting about a cartoon. These people should think themselves lucky they live here and can practice whatever they like without oppression. Flip the situation on it's head. How long do you think any of us would survive if we went to Iraq and held up a banner saying 'Stop public beheading of British civillians'*. 5 minutes?

*or anyone else.

ps. spot on with the python sketch, exactly what I was thinking while i read the first post.

If any of this offends then tough. Mindless killing in the name of someone who (quite probably) existed a thousand years ago really offends me.

I'm sorry if this offends people, but if other cultures want to live here, then integrate don't separate.

Ditto to the above and I don't really give a hoot if anyone is offended.

Allah this , Allah that ...and that **** who wore the fake Suicide vest maybe should have been turned into some kind of a Martyr*.

Well I'm offended by all these people telling me what I can or can't do,write ,say ,look at or think.Soddemall.

This is all so stupid, so pointless. The protests and all the rest of it I mean, not the thread.

We know a muslim family and they are really nice people, they're horrified by all the excesses and so on. They just want to get on with their lives, sendf their kids to school, pay the mortgage and generally be normal, they don't want any special treatment because they're balck and/or muslim, nor do they want anyone to pussyfoot around in case they cause offence.

As ever, its the few that spoil things for everyone else.
