the harder the west try and destroy it, the more stronger its getting. Im done with this post. next ...

There was no mention of the West trying to destroy anything so stop trying to make this into a religious battle.
This is about a war on terrororists who happen to be Muslim extremists.
So kindly put your ceremonial dagger back in its scabbard and join the rest of us in some enlightenment of the situation before putting words in our mouths...

So typical, everyone caught up in the muslim/christian debate (I mean in the world, not on the boards)...

The future isn't in the Middle-East, sorry, it's in Asia, I think Asia should be scrutinized more and talked about more on these boards.

The Middle-East is soooooo 2001, and I don't think the west is trying to "Destroy" muslims, such stupidity.

Of The 'Dead Pilot' Who 'Crashed Into The World Trade Center'

TBC ...

Finland apparently just overtook the UK as most Islamist pandering country. This is utterly ridiculous. How can publishing the cartoons ever be understood as violating freedom of worship? I'm beginning to understand what Vesa was telling us about.

quote:

Three Finns may face charges for posting Mohammad cartoons Finnish police said Friday it had given the preliminary investigation material pertaining to three individuals it suspects of violating the freedom of worship to Mika Illman, a state prosecutor. The three men are members of Suomen Sisu, a nationalistic movement that has posted Jyllands-Posten's controversial Mohammad cartoons on its website. Jorma Kalske, the deputy prosecutor general, is expected to decide in May whether to prosecute the men.

You know what most parents' first reaction would be when their baby's been replaced by a 20 year old? "WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO TO MY BABY!!!!!!!"

Now the Christians are using the Muslim cartoon protests as an example of why they should start protesting and destroying things over the Da Vinci Code movie. Some of the other things in there just blew my mind considering that this movie is based on a work of fiction. I guess I can understand, because these sheep obviously have such impressionable minds that they might believe this is real.

CANNES, France (AP) -- Anger over "The Da Vinci Code," premiering Wednesday at the Cannes Film Festival, escalated Tuesday as Christian groups from South Korea, Thailand, Greece and India planned boycotts, a hunger strike and attempts to block or shorten screenings. The plot of the movie, adapted by Ron Howard from Dan Brown's worldwide best seller, makes the case that Jesus married Mary Magdalene and had children with her. (Read: Getting ready for "Da Vinci" premiere) In India, the government Tuesday put a temporary hold on the movie's release because of complaints. In South Korea, which has 13 million Protestants and 4.6 million Roman Catholics, a court ruled Tuesday that a Christian group's request for an injunction to block screenings lacked merit. "As it is clear that the novel and movie are all fiction ... there is no probability that the movie can make viewers mistakenly believe the contents of the movie are facts," chief judge Song Jin-hyun said in his ruling. The Christian Council of Korea, an umbrella group of 63 South Korean Protestant denominations, said it respected the ruling but would lead a boycott of the movie, which it said defiles the sanctity of Jesus Christ and distorts facts. In Thailand, Christian groups demanded that government censors cut the film's final 15 minutes, fix subtitles that are supposedly disrespectful to Jesus and screen messages before and after the movie saying the content is fictional. "If they are going to screen this, we asked that they cut out the conclusion of the movie that Jesus still has heirs alive today," said spokesman Manoch Jangmook, of the Evangelical Fellowship of Thailand. The censor board has not yet replied to the request. The movie is scheduled to start running Thursday in Thai theaters. In mostly Hindu India, which is also home to 18 million Roman Catholics, Joseph Dias, head of the Catholic Secular Forum, began a hunger strike in downtown Bombay and said other people were joining him. "We want the movie to be banned," he said. The film had been set for release in India on Friday and had already been cleared by the national censor board. But Information and Broadcasting Minister Priya Ranjan Dasmunshi said he put a temporary hold on the movie after receiving more than 200 complaints. "We are a secular country. On any sensitive issue, we should take action after we examine every aspect," Dasmunshi told reporters. In Athens, Greece, some 200 religious protesters, waving crucifixes and Greek flags, demonstrated Tuesday in protest of the film. The protesters -- including Orthodox monks and nuns -- later marched peacefully to parliament. "All religions merit respect, so why don't they show respect in this case instead of attacking all that we hold sacred?" said Athanasios Papageorgiou, president of St. John the Theologian group in Peania, east of Athens. "I've read the book. It's despicable," he added. "The Muslims for one cartoon burnt anything, so what should we do?" Greece's powerful Orthodox Church has blasted the "ridiculous content" of the movie but stopped short of calling for its boycott. Philippine censors approved an adult rating for the movie but stopped short of rating it "X" because "it does not constitute a clear, express or direct attack on the Catholic church or religion" and does not libel or defame any person. The movie-review panel's chairwoman, Marissa Laguardia, told The Associated Press that the movie would be a "test of faith" for many people in the predominantly Roman Catholic Philippines. "Those groups, like the conservatives who want it banned, maybe they can tell their friends, discourage their friends from watching it," she said. "But it has to be shown. Otherwise we will be the only country that will not show this film. Thirty-six countries have already reviewed this film and they have not banned it. So are we just out of the Stone Age?" The National Council of Churches in Singapore, which also had requested a ban, planned lectures to refute aspects of the film and the book on which it is based. The censorship board gave the movie an NC16 rating, barring viewers under 16, arguing that "only a mature audience will be able to discern and differentiate between fact and fiction." Also, while not planning a protest or boycott, members of the National Organization for Albinism and Hypopigmentation expressed unhappiness with the film's heavy, a monk-assassin, being an albino, as described in the book. Michael McGowan, an albino who heads the organization, said "The Da Vinci Code" will be the 68th movie since 1960 to feature an evil albino. The "Da Vinci" character "is just the latest in a long string," McGowan said. "The problem is there has been no balance. There are no realistic, sympathetic or heroic characters with albinism that you can find in movies or popular culture." He said the group aims to use the movie's popularity to raise awareness about the realities of albinism. People with albinism have little or no pigmentation in their skin, eyes and hair.
