THINGS THAT OFFEND MUSLIMS

Here is an excellent compliation of "things that offend muslims" that I thought I'd pass along to my readers - I am sure that you can come up with many others to add.  I think my New Year's Resolution will be to not only refuse to caveat my writings with politically correct panderings but also to do at least a few of the items on this list.

Things That Offend Muslims

by Amboy Times

01Jan, 2007

This list is a work in progress. I welcome suggestions. Anyone who has more items to add to the list, post them in the comments.

The intent of the list is to illustrate the futility of the multicultural approach to Islam. Sharia law demands submission not only from Muslims, but from non-Muslims as well. This makes respectful coexistence nearly impossible with Muslims in Infidel lands. The examples below serve as reminder that submitting to one complaint or another only emboldens Muslims to seek to further their ultimate goal of establishing sharia.

The West needs to come to grips with this fact and start standing up for our God-given rights of free speech, free expression and freedom of religion, lest we surrender those rights to a theocratic movement bent on removing our Constitutional freedoms that we hold dear. In this case, our tolerance will lead to intolerance.

The author of this article has captured the real tick issues with the extremists Muslims. What is written here is the truth, a speck of the truth but not the whole truth.

This is as true as watching the evening news in your city and concluding that in the twenty minutes of news, that the people of the city murderers, rapists, arsonits, robbers, theives and looters.

The good news: The consumption of this news is mainly by the tabloid readers and those who like to gossip. The average Americans, like a average Christians, Muslims, Hindus or others know this is for the hype and does not have much grounding apply to the average, meaning the one's you run into work, bus, grocery store, movie theaters etc.

Seems they can't stand anything in life... oh well.

Great list! Here are some more off the top of my head:

Under women:
Nigerian Beauty Contest

Under authors:
Irshad Manji

Under Jews:
A Jew on the temple mount (Intifada II), blowing a Shaffer (horn) at the wailing wall (1929 Arab riots), trying to make Arabs illiterate (as mentioned in the Mickey Mouse Hamas show), using blood to make matza (Arab text-books)

Under Christians:
Leaving Islam for Christianity

Great start! I suggest you make this list formal, completely linked, and accessible for other sites (like the Terror count list at thereligionofpeace.com)

Don't forget the Bamiyan Buddha's, another Buddha image in Swat, Pakistan, the image of Mohammed in a church in Bologna,Italy, any nude statue, and most figurative art, especially when it's of Buddha.

[Syla]

Great list. Just one thing: The movie submission is from "Theo van Gogh and Hirsi Ali"

Funny how Muslims always offer a vague denial in the face of reality. "It's only a half truth", "it's more complex". Everything to make the waters murkier and hide any responsibility or solution.

[Jay]

Atrocities have been committed in the name of many religions like Christianity for instance. The difference is that people had to twist and distort Scripture in order to use it for violence while muslims have to twist and distort their Scriptures to bring peace. Not many are volunteering for that particular task. Too busy being offended and imposing their beliefs abroad while limiting or banning minority faiths at home.

[Al]

Here's two more things they don't like:
You and me...

[Andrew]

Add me to that list, but most importantly, add Inter Milan of Italian's Serie A, because they had audacity to use a big red cross for their uniform - since its part of the symbol of Milan.

Might as well throw in the city.

Also Dante (who threw Muhammad into hell), the Greeks (they never liked the nudity), the Romans (infidels!), and of course, the indomitable Oriana Fallaci.

P.S. Charles Martel (my favorite).

What the Muslims really hate most of all is the truth, especially when we say that Islam is the religion of hatred, ruin, death and destruction, and when we say that Muhammad was a child molester and a lecherous pedophile.

[Philip Saenz]

Muslims were also offended because Tony Blair converted to the Catholic Church and not to Islam. Isn't that stupid? Who the hell wants to convert to Islam and its 73 contradictory sects? Who the hell wants to convert to the religion of violence, that is, Islam? The Muslim Wahabbis, the Muslim Sunnis, the Muslim Shiites, the Muslim Kurds, and many of the other Muslim sects are murdering each other every day. So let the Muslims be offended because sensible people don't want to become part of Islam, the religion of hatred, ruin, death and destruction.

PERHAPS IT WOULD HAVE BEEN EASIER TO HAVE A LIST OF THE THINGS THAT DON'T OFFEND MUSLIMS?????

Laughter is the best medicine. Let's laugh a lot at Muslims and their crazy 7th century ideas.

"The author of this article has captured the real tick issues with the extremists Muslims. What is written here is the truth, a speck of the truth but not the whole truth." Mike Ghouse says.

Thiagan says: I define a moderate muslim as the one who:
> who accepts unhesitatingly that all religions are equal
> who believes and practises gender equality
> who conforms to local and host country's laws, eg.one child norm and family planning in India
> who eschews all kinds of world wide Islamic domination and universal imposition of shariaa
No muslim can accept the above and hence Islam can not a component of flourishing plural society.

Many are offended right now because Wikipedia has pictures of Mo. Big petition to get Wikipedia to censor their website.

Last year i went bowling with friends, it was during one of the hot summer days so i wore a short sleave, low cut top like most of my friends. Halfway through our game a muslim family turned up to use the opposite bowling lane and i was asked to put something over my top that covered up my "flesh". I declined and carried on with my game and the family simply left....never mind....came 3rd in the bowling though!
