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
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.

Muslim loud and proud, you seem so friendly. lol!!
You having flags and being offended by other flags are too different things. Keep trying.
BTW he did do his research, that is where the list came from. MORON.

Oh yea we do not worship those sick priests.
Keep trying.
Posted by: Christopher | November 22, 2008 at 02:05 PM
thanks for proving our point very well nutbar- first of all by coming in and freaking out and calling us infidels and monkeys you sound exactly like the people we're talking about. and of course if u actually clicked on buddy's links then you would see the explanation about how coffee shops offend u guys. but the main point is that most of us here have no problems with "moderate muslims" that is muslims who don't cause problems with everyone else. and what freedom of speech do you have? its ok for u to come here and hate Christianity and God and force us to stop practicing our religion and cultural pride so as not to offend you but a POLITICAL cartoon made by some small town newspaper causes worldwide riots and murders. yep theres your freedom of speech and religious equality. not to mention that someone who has to WRITE IN ALL CAPS LIKE A 12 YEAR OLD and post the same thing like 6 times in order to make a point that simply makes him look like a retard who probably beats his wife has the gall to cause us cowards and intolerant is hilarious
Posted by: Richard the Lionheart | November 22, 2008 at 02:46 PM
obviously mr."i've read a book" has obviously never looked at the world around him or at a map but back to that in a moment. islam is the world's fastest growing religion through 2 thinks: forced conversion(people convert to Christianity cuz they want to not cuz they'll be beheaded if they don't) and birth. you have more kids than us thats the only reason ur beating us-in fact Christianity totally wallops islam in conversions; our list is considerably longer and more impressive than yours i'm just to lazy to type it all out except to say the entirety of the roman empire converted to Christianity so top that dingus. and maybe mr. educated here can tell me what islam has done for this planet aside from 1300 yrs of sectarion violence. every great invention and innovation and all of the world's wealth and greatest powers are Christian. all islam has done is steal from us-ur greatest cities we're once Christian then forcibly taken along with your greatest "mosques". and now to clarify the little map comment-just to show how dumb you are maybe you can tell me where ancient palestine is? nope? i didn't think so so i'll tell you. it's right we're jordan is so while ur all whining about losing ur land it was never your land to begin with-in fact we want our land back; Constantinople, Turkey, Syria, Isreal was ours and the Jews to begin with, we've already gotten sicily and spain back and everything else you violent and aggressive buggers have stolen from our society and faith. meanwhile you can get the hell out and go back we're muslims are actually loved: in the middle of the Godforsaken desert and leave us alone

The standard of taquia is just not what it used to be,
you are supposed to kill the fat and corrupt in far off places not vote for them.
Posted by: kenneth buckler | November 23, 2008 at 08:31 AM
Hi freedomlovers!
This list will become so long that the entire Internet can not compile it, it just take up to much space.
Here is the short one:
Muslims are offended by everything EXCEPT: Muslims, rape, beheading and war.
Posted by: Nisse J | November 23, 2008 at 09:12 AM
muslim loud and proud,
That is a nice crock of taqqiya you offer up. I know many muslims who are BLATANT homosexuals. They are often executed for it. Yes muslims use coffee shops. I see plenty of muslims blowing themselves up in coffee shops in Iraq. Little muslim girls DO own dolls, but mullahs and clerics get all hot and bothered by Barbie, and introduce shitty islamic knockoffs. I know muslims watch cartoons, I saw the violent riots from Lebanon to Trashcanistan in 2005 over cartoons of pedophile Muhammad published in Denmark. Way to go muslims! Burn down your own shithole cities in response to Muhammad being exposed for the fraud he is.

Bob
Muslims in the UK may not hate queers - but Muslims in sharia countries certainly do - so much so that they are killed for it. Hopefully some western values have rubbed off on UK Muslims and they will see that as barbaric - but many don't. Many actually want sharia to rule them.
You can go ahead worshipping your pedophile pirate - but expect others to show the same tolerance to Islam as you do towards western mores.

I don't think most of these things really bother the Muslims. My Muslim friend uses hair gel.

Re to Muslim loud and proud
MEN JUST RAPE THEM IF THE WOMEN ALLOWED THEM THEN IT WOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED RAPE...
So you do rape them and not call it rape?
Posted by: Infidel | September 02, 2010 at 05:24 AM
All the signs are there. Why wait until it is too late as happened to the Jews in Nazi Germany during the Holocaust?
Australians and the rest of the Western world need to take heed of what they hear and see with regard to Islam, and act as a matter of urgency.
Muslims who do not respect our laws, culture, citizens, etc are guilty of Treason and should be dealt with accordingly.
Westerners (infidels) should not visit Muslim countries. It seems that Islam has indeed no place in a Pluralist society.
The only thing is, if they are deported, they may lose the only chance they will ever have of gaining an education, and catching up with the rest of the world. Deportation will also prevent a chance at freedom from oppression, for Muslim women.

Hi!
I thought this was an interesting list.
I just wanted to say not all Muslims are like this.
I swear.
I have family in the UK.
They drink, they interact, they're PROUD to be British Muslims. They hate these extremist Muslims.
Plus, the extremist Muslims aren't even MUSLIMS. Seriously. They're barely humans.
So please, don't bash the religion :) Bash the people. :D
Sincerely,
An ex Muslim

P.s. It's all in the upbringing.
I was brought up in a Muslim household but my mom always encouraged me to ask questions.
Even now, I offend extremist Muslims because I 'dare' to question the Qur'an or God.
Idiotic people.
Posted by: X | August 20, 2011 at 04:26 AM
Dear Muslim loud and proud:
Setting aside the fact that it's rude to SHOUT at people ALL THE TIME you write:
"WE HAVE FLAGS OURSELVES SO YOUR FLAGS WONT OFFEND US"
This would be why Muslims burn UK,US, Israeli and many other Kaffir flags then.
"WE GO TO COFFEE SHOPS FOR A CUP OF COFFEE SO PLEASE TELL ME WHY WOULD THAT OFFEND US?"
You tell me! Muslims have blown enough of them up - killing their customers, so you must dislike something about them or are Muslims into random Kaffir killing? (Silly question.)
"WE WATCH CARTOONS AS WELL, WE WATCH CARTOONS THAT HAVE PIGS IN IT"
Well, bully for you! So why have Muslims murdered cartoonist then? Why all the anti-Danish protests and the falsification of the "Danish cartoons" by MUSLIM clerics? What you mean is "we don't mind cartoons provided we agree with them." So anti-semitism OK, criticism of Islam - kill the cartoonist, paper editor or anyone else you can get your hands on.
"WOMEN NEVER WANT TO BE RAPED. MEN JUST RAPE THEM IF THE WOMEN ALLOWED THEM THEN IT WOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED RAPE"
Granted, so why do various Mullahs etc say that a women who is not Islamically dressed is "uncovered meat" and a man who rapes her is not to be blamed?
Rape is hard to prove isn't it - especially when the raped woman requires 4 MALE witnesses, as per Sharia.
"AND WE DONT HATE HOMOSEXULAS"(sic)
That would be why so many Sheikhs call for homosexuals to be killed then.
"WE JUST DONT PRACTISE HOMOSEXUALITY."
Well, you have a sense of humour, or one of irony at least. Do I really have to point out the homosexuality is rampant; in Afghanistan for example where anally acquired STDs are common in Pashtun men who use "dancing" boys.
"I JUST CAN GO ON ALL DAY BY THE WAY"
Yes, I'm sure you can - yell loud enough and someone will hear you.
"DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE TALKING!"
I so totally agree with you, so why son't you?
