You realise that after his expulsion from Mecca our dearest prophet spent eight years fighting the Meccan tribes before eventually conquering Mecca. And of course many of the revelations our prophet had over this time were quite clearly focused on uniting the tribes of Medina against the Meccans. Our dearest prophet was obviously a fighting man and I suspect would be quite pleased to depicted as he is in these cartoons (except in the 620s he wouldn't have understood what a bomb was).

There is currently a clear link between Islam and a number of terrorist acts. If this is an affront to Islam then it is the perpetrators, who openly say they are acting in the name of Islam, who are insulting your faith.

]]> Comment on Senator John Kerry: “Atheists Don’t Believe in Anything” by Steve http://atheistkiwi.wordpress.com/2007/11/09/senator-john-kerry-atheists-dont-believe-in-anything/#comment-170 Steve Mon, 30 Jun 2008 19:00:27 +0000 http://atheistkiwi.wordpress.com/2007/11/09/senator-john-kerry-atheists-dont-believe-in-anything/#comment-170 The past few years I've noticed that it seems to be open season on atheists. Politicians, clergy, political analysts and teachers have all jumped on the bandwagon that it is ok to speak negatively and generally about atheists. If these things were said about any other group of people, then there would be parades of protest. I've heard radio hosts call atheists leaches on our society. I've read where the Pope has said that atheism led to the greatest form of cruelty. And I've sat in ethics classes where the teacher taught that atheists have no moral compass. I've even attended family functions where a close relative said that atheism is wrong. What if I said Muslims were leaches on our society? What if I said Catholicism led to the greatest form of cruelty? What if I said Christians have no moral compass? And what if I said the right to believe in your religion was wrong? If I said all of these things I would at the very least be accused of being intolerant. Why then aren't people who disparage atheists called intolerant. Our country was founded on the belief in freedom of religion. This means that we not only have the right to choose which religion we want without worry of ridicule, but it also means that we have the right to believe in no religion without worry of ridicule. By the way I'm an agnostic, my wife though is an atheist. Even though I have my doubts about the existence of God and my wife does not believe in Gods existence, we both strongly believe in the individuals right to believe in God. It would be nice if believers would return the favor. The past few years I’ve noticed that it seems to be open season on atheists.

I think it's rightly so to attack Islamic Extremism, because it needs to be banged on the head before it causes anymore damage than it already has. If people are so unsecured by "faith" than doesn't that defeat the object of faith? I also believed faith was to do with absolute belief, and that no physical integer could affect it. - Looking at the way Muslims act in such ways, I'm beginning to disagree. I know and appreciate that there are a few (And I mean a few) Muslims that don't have similar beliefs, or act in the same way.. But just look at Muslim Capitals (such as Iraq, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia), where Women and Freedom of Speech are incarcirated and oppressed. I read an article about woman who was inprisoned because she went to a rivalling family to ask for forgivenness due to her brothers affections for one of their daughters, where she was then denied and gang-raped by 6 men; the conviction was sex before marriage.. I think this type of Mentality is reflected in the response to these cartoons.
