But Jesus is fair game because, he said, Christianity has broad shoulders and fewer ties to ethnicity.
Hmm… sounds like a lot of BS to me…
Mr Sissons, whose memoirs were serialised in the Daily Mail, said: “Islam must not be offended at any price, although Christians are fair game because they do nothing about it if they are offended.”
Ahhhh that sounds more like it! So basically, by their own admission, they attack Christians specifically because they don’t fight back. In other words, they are cowards. Well at Mr. Sissons is an honest coward!
 
And since such ramifications is KNOWN as a distinct possibility by religious extremists…I wouldn’t call it “cowardice” as much as “prudence”.
It IS cowardice! If you attack one group because they don’t fight back, that is cowardice.
 
Well, I wanted to do that, I have to admit. But my co-writer Harald said ‘I will not have a fatwa on my head because of a movie’. And he was right. … We have to all … in the Western world … think about this. You can actually … let … Christian symbols fall apart, but if you would do this with [an] Arab symbol, you would have … a fatwa

Sounds the epitome of prudence to me.🙂
 
Sometimes I wish the Lord would throw down a few well-placed lightning bolts and put the fear of you-know-where into a few of these anti-Christian, anti-Catholic government and media clowns.
Mark 3:17. A pun concerning the verse?

It is cowardice certainly but also politics since the left is wedded to islam against democracy. PS The BBC is on the left…so far left that Masterpiece Specials aren’t good enough to make up for it.🤷
 
I don’t get why it isn’t illegal to mock religious beliefs.

They will mock Him now but justice will be served.

“See, the LORD is coming with fire, and his chariots are like a whirlwind; he will bring down his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.”
 
He isn’t…and won’t…instead of behaving like Zeus…He entered our humanity to teach us a new way to live…a new way to be…a better way to handle conflict than violence…He calls us to “love your enemies…” “pray for those who despitefully use you”…“go the second mile”.
I’m not advocating violence…but some folks could sure use some enlightenment (or a good scare, if that’s what it takes) so they’ll wake up and smell the coffee, so to speak.
 
Unfortunately… sister in Christ…😦

Jealousy on the faith should be embedded within every one of us, I know that you said some Christians will be upset and sad, but at least some Christian churches should have issued a PR condemning that BBC act.

Also not to mention how other faiths would use that against Christians in general to make a propaganda about it.
 
lets hope the BBC doesnt move to Cairo, I dont think the Copts are as easy-going as european Christians…

Benedict XVI could always tell the truth about Islam again, that’d get them going…
 
well i guess the bbc isnt going to be on my tv from now on while im living in England!
Its going to be hard giving up eastenders 😉
 
🙂 Welcome back dolphinlove, long time no see!, we missed you on CAF…
Thanks Sam, ive been popping in and out, just never time to post, but i will make more time now brother in Christ 🙂

*Please *quit proof-texting the same five verses over and over again with poor grammar. It’s grating. If someone was going to agree with it, he would have after having read it ten times. If that’s what “waging peace” is - quoting the Bible repeatedly in argumentum ad lapidem and proof by assertion - war for me it is.
 
Perhaps a lot of it (Muslims being angry about in particular about bad satire, with “bad satire” being a mild expression considering e.g. that many anti-Muslims apparently consider pedophilia to be better than zoophilia) has to do with that there are persons sitting ‘protected’ by nukes in cosy homes, perhaps feasting on (nearly) extinct flora and fauna species, more or less decadent, with more or less a holier than thou attitude, turning oceans and rivers and everything into an acid wasteland, with many left to survive by prostitution, and with cruelty of animals including passive cruelty, not realizing that the “greatest” achievements are from times past? All while there are others, yet basically the same, hoping that there will be at least as much food after harvest for the whole family as individuals, cynical or not, elsewhere have for their side-dish while slurping concentration camp drink and food products, driving ‘fancy’ cars holding ‘fancy’ phones, and perhaps even pretending to know it all so or so or in any case better than them “others” such as supposed savage-persons who lived a “long time” ago yet were capable of at least as much physical, and mental or intellectual efforts as we are today and that with less surrounding means thereto.

Exaggeration? i think it is a rather a mild description of part of the state of everything on this planet.

Nevertheless, from a more or less non-critical viewpoint, one thing is about globalization and the content thereof. As an example, sodomy laws in countries on the African continent introduced by the oh so civilized and then decades or centuries later it is the same oh so civilized who are like oh those sodomy laws are completly wrong. Sure, conditions (of society and environment) change, and we as individuals and society are learning beings and probably always will be, and development needs to be partially natural (such as that a tree grows from a seed for many years). But what good are “high on horse” attitudes doing (for others) if any at all?
in that context, satire has (not only) in countries on the European continent more or less tradition. And in that tradition mocking of Jesus (Christ) is a good sign in the meaning that He is considered King who is in favour of freedom of speech eversince and not taking Himself much seriously. Though that last sentence being a bit of irony as many (Christians) are probably foremostly happy abut having a peaceful life without being persecuted for the sake of it, and e.g.
bumpshack.com/2011/04/28/queen-elizabeth-ii-bans-satire-of-royal-wedding/
showing that Jesus is even about 2000 years later serving humanity by being a target of bullies of all sort, as apparently in particular in Great Britain it is alright to mock the poor and destitute, but oh no, not the fancy ones. Something which isn’t just about the UK, e.g. torontosun.com/news/weird/2010/09/13/15331591.html

And the issue of scripture being laid out on anti-Christ’s terms is not something unknown to Christians neither. Or in particular choosing concerning actual real life issues, such as doing something by non-islamic urf and then pretending, or thinking, that the particular act was islamic (arguably to an extent for own security such as having a fake building permit and in front of court claiming, knowingly or unknowingly, that it isn’t fake). Similarly, from what i know any person is of age at age of 15 (not only) in Islam, though there obviously possibly being a problem with fake papers or false claims of parent/s, not only in regard to age-number but also in regard to other numbers.

As for ‘defenders of morality’, and Aisha and Mohammed, who biologically lived as such more than 1000 years ago, of importance is the social environment and conceptions thereof as well as factualities of life at that time, with many stories having educational merit at least back then. Similarly, “consummate” is not necessarily a word to describe sex, though even if or even if there was any sex e.g. when Aisha was 9 years old, fixation thereon seems to be of psychoanalytical terms and not of actual real care. Yes, idolatry, and in particular child sex is wrong, regardless of whether a child was trained for such (e.g. elder women telling girls that a “good wife” has to take it any way and any time he wants, or other form of social “pressure” for that matter) or not. As for child marriage itself, one aspect are “political unions”, something of which there are plenty of in history of countries on the European continent as well, and arguably many if not all of these
theroyalforums.com/forums/f164/the-youngest-royal-brides-in-history-17081.html
were such as well. And a bit different aspect (not necessarily being the base of the aforementioned though arguably pointing it out) being that of if a e.g.-6-years old terminally ill girl dreams of being married and held before death, would it really be that evil to grant her such wish?
 
Sorry for a bit of rant. i am kind of involuntarily fasting, and overally upset about hypocrisy which contributes to more harm and suffering happening. Yes, one issue is that even though most adults are nowadays Citizens, many of these adults in particular having “grown up” getting all luxury they wanted know the me but not the we, and as such it can be very difficult to take them seriously on higher levels, and it is difficult to abolish double standards when there is e.g. “my way or the high-way” attitudes all over the place. Which doesn’t mean that any set of standards would necessarily be righteous as long as everyone adhers to it, which has partially to do with artificialities. Not meaning that anyone should overally shut up, nor that everyone should be clones to each other, nor that it shouldn’t be possible for anyone (in growth) to realize things themselves as well nor not be allowed to enquire, but many stuff is indeed sickening and that isn’t even in the bigger picture, in particular e.g. when “pub humour” is politicized by adults supposed Citizens, the social price for which isn’t necessarily directly paid by these adults, and not always by the targetted, but foremostly by other Citizens whose voices ain’t heard because of the noise made by vomit of these “adults”. As for the internet, for most it is as a (no-sober) leisure thing, which i understand and per se not against it, albeit it seems to be a lot about “elite” using (not only) the internet for own means without regard e.g. to that not everyone has a “happy” life. Not meaning that the internet should be clamped down in every possible way, and i think it is alright that there are at least physically non-violent forms of “expression”, but if there is no seriosity in (name removed by moderator)ut then being serious in output is as throwing or plating pearls to swine.
