Is there a reason we shouldn't expect muslims to react in kind when their religion is mocked?

Why should we have to walk on eggshells regarding their reaction when they don't do the same when mocking Christianity?

The Holy Book called the Quran completely and barbarically disrespects anyone and anything not completely devoted to and commited to Islam and it's totalitarianistic content. The Quran itself, is barbarism personified.

Are you kidding me with this argument?

Seriously, what is there on this planet of ours that does not offend the petulant children of Islam and send them into a fit of violent and murderous tantrums?


Oh, and I see that you fail to mention that Islam and it's Muslims routinely have (through out all of it's history) destroyed, burned and even defecated on the Holy Books of other religions and many of their religious symbols and architecture.

When someone starts thread based on the topic of something distasteful and/or violent that Islam does and they express their displeasure and disgust; Liberal Extremists come in hordes (and start their own counter-threads): using intense language filled with terms like "Ignorant" and 'Rednecks" and a plethora of other adjectives to attack and denigrate anyone who expresses displeasure and disgust with the actions of Islam.

Liberal Extremists are foaming at the mouth and highly upset, during these moments. making sure to attack people's intelligence and character

But when it comes to addressing Islam's actions, itself. Liberal Extremists suddenly find an extremely mild, Politically Correct, kinder and much more vague and evasive manner to express themselves.

Take full notice.

When addressing those who oppose the intentions and bully tactics of Islam:

It's all out intense name-calling and attacks on people's intelligence and character.

When addressing the actual actions and deeds of Islam:

It's mild, evasive and vague or sugar-coated platitudes.

Very intersting indeed.
I quote myself because I think it's important...significant that every Liberal Extremist wantys to avoid addressing these facts of thier temperment, attitude, dispostion and the grammatical gymnastics they use when addressing the actual actions and deeds of Islam; compared to the words of people who exopress their displeasure of Islam.

Take notice of the difference. Watch how they respond in this thread and in all the other threads. A very disticnt difference.

Of course there is. They are Muslims. We all know exactly how they will react. Unless you have been living under a rock for the last decade, your expectations should have been just what has played out.

This is not rocket science.

First and foremost, there is a big difference between "walking on eggshells" and throwing eggs.

But more profound is your latter comment. Among the things that Muslims generally do not do is mock Christianity. In fact, it is an issue of some confusion to them as to why they think so highly of Jesus and yet Christians do not repay the favor in respect for Muhammad. You are projecting.

For all the genuine reasons that exist to reject Islam as false, as dangerous, and as a disaster to humanity, this pretended "mocking of Christianity" is not on the short list.

Right on the money!

But you see, we should treat them with kid gloves, appease them and let them bend us over.

We have directly addressed it, here now for the third time.

Nothing in your portrayal is true. It requires no additional attention beyond the observation of that fact.

Some would say parts of the Bible are barbaric when taken literally. Some would say that the most barbaric portions of the Bible have been edited out over the centuries. Both would be true. And anyone who knows history knows that Christians have also "destroyed, burned and defecated" in the name of their faith. You are so fixated on what Muslims have done through out history that you don't see the evolution the Christians have gone through to get to where they are today. Why do you want to see them (Christians) go backwards in that evolution?

Protesters also burned an American flag at a mosque after Friday prayers.


So they burned our American Flag, before any of the Qurans were ever burned.

Should Americans respond in kind and start running through the streets destroying anything even remotely associated with Islam? Hey, they burned our friggin' Flag!!!

Surely, the Liberal Extremists will defend the American Flag and denounce such dispicable behavior from Islam; as intensely as they defended the Quran and Islam...... Right?
