I didn't want to hijack Helen's thread so I started one to see what folks think.
In her thread about Jas, she said:
"We had a bit of an incident at Kings Cross (train station) which upset me. Jasper was singing his favourite Christmas carol and a Muslim woman came up to me and said she found it offensive that my child was singing Christian songs"
Also, last week, the bunch of Immans that were taken off the plane because of "worshiping" in a way that made people very nervous....
Has there been in the last several years an increase in assertiveness from Muslums about their religion? Do you folks think it acceptable for one person of faith to tell another person of a different faith that they are offended by that persons expression of faith? Should ALL forms of public expression of faith be it verbal, dress or ornamentation be forbiden?
I do not practice a religion however I do have my beliefs. I feel as long as a persons practice of their faith does not directly infringe on another person I really feel that ya should just be tolerant. The lawsuits and crap I read about today from people that are "offended" is a joke. Get a life.

I love living in a multi-cultural society.
I love letting my kids goto Diwali celebrations and Chinese New Year and everything else. I think practising tolerance and respect is the best thing we can teach our kids.
Sadly, my respecting others beliefs doesn't always mean they respect mine.
I'd like to see everyone free to do their own thing providing it doesn't hurt or degrade others and have everyone else tolerant of my views too (subject to the same considerations)
I really don't think that is too much to ask at all.

This should be a good one! 
Personally, I'd tell that woman to f_ck off and go back to working on her suicide belt. Then I'd explain to my child that a piece of shit CAN walk and talk despite what science says.
As far as the Immams or what ever they are, I would stand outside their place of worship with a big sign that says " free bomb making lessons, please come in".

As long as they don’t come up to my door and try to convert me they can do what they want. But I think she reacted right in what she said and did, if they are so offended about such things then they should live somewhere that people only practice what they deem as acceptable.
It blows me away that someone would have the nerve to say a child singing Christmas carols is offensive, well I find 911 offensive, but that’s just me.

I thought this would have a picture of the Iron Shiek headbutting Brother Love.
Merry Christmas to all those who it doesn't offend.
Happy Hannukah to those who it doesn't offend.
Have a great _______ (pick your holiday or day of the week)
To those I offended.... I am very sorry.

I'm not afraid to call bigotry what it is - bigotry. We've seen it on the thread about Hindus earlier this week, and we are seeing it here. Christio-facism bigotry.
You [censored by the BBS software] bring shame to the teachings and life of Christ.

Not with the Klan, but if I have to put up with their shit then they should do the same. Who says I have to like anyone , Flo?
Isn't that the great thing about freedom of speech? If the muslims want to live like they are still in the stone age, fine, but do it somewhere else and quit degrading the American way of life and chipping away at our principals. The United States was a lot safer till those fuckers started flooding the country.
Standing up like a bunch of idiots on a plane....geez, and then claiming to be targeted and singled out. They achieved what they wanted on that plane and are forcing their way of life down our throats.
I think you need an appointment with Dr. Ali, Bud!

I'm not a Christian nor a Jew but I like a lot of their stuff. The way it's done here seems kinda interesting most of the time. I decided to give them a lot of space.
Basically, so long as religious stuff doesn't get in my way of enjoying life, fine. Even if it does, I'm reluctant to spend a lot of money and time litigating such stuff. Life is too effen short. So far we do it well over here. I don't mind Mormons coming to my house most of the time. They're usually nice too and get my message. We live in a culture that puts up with a lot of goofy stuff....however; if you want to scare the shit out of airline passengers, you have to undestand that that is scary and is getting in my way. So is picking on a kid at Christmas.
Geeze what a waste of time, energy and money it is to rant and rave about you're version of God.

I'm not in church on sundays, usually I am cooking breakfast and getting ready for whatever I'm gonna do or watch. But it irks me to no end when I wonder if it's still o.k. to say Merry Christmas these days. Some of my fondest memories are of the holidays I spent in Germany, we were glad to incorporate some of the German traditions like putting a boot outside the front door for goodies. These days, fuggetaboutit, sooner or later we will cave in to these folks who are oh so tolerant, it will be because of libs like Flo that we will have to watch every word we say as not to offend. Sad.

[url]Skater 'Stunned' by Christmas Carol Cutoff
AOL Wire Services
RIVERSIDE, Calif. (Dec. 14) - Olympic figure skater Sasha Cohen was "stunned" to learn that a U.S. high school choir had been ordered to stop singing Christmas carols at a holiday show because she is half Jewish, her mother said on Thursday.
A city employee, accompanied by a police officer, approached the Rubidoux High School Madrigals at the Riverside Outdoor Ice Skating Rink just as they launched into "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" and requested that the troupe stop singing, the Riverside Press-Enterprise reported Thursday.
Cohen, the 2006 Olympic silver medalist and 2006 U.S. National Champion, had just finished her performance at the rink on the downtown pedestrian mall, and was signing autographs.
The employee, special-events worker Michelle Baldwin, could not be reached for comment. City Development Director Belinda J. Graham confirmed the incident.
"This request was simply made by a staff member who was attempting to be sensitive to the celebrity guest, without considering the wider implications ... or consulting with her supervisor for guidance," Graham said in an e-mail to the newspaper.
Mayor Ron Loveridge, who called the incident "unfortunate," apologized to the choir. "You kind of wish people do a little checking first," he said.
Cohen, who is half Christian and "celebrates everything" during the holidays, learned only through news reports that the choir had been cut off on her account, the 22-year-old skater's mother and manager said.
"Sasha was stunned. We both thought the voices were just lovely, they were doing such a wonderful job," Galina Cohen said. "Christmas carols are part of celebrating the holiday season."
To some, the incident appeared an example of excessive political correctness in the United States over the celebration of Christmas -- which some conservative commentators have characterized as a "war on Christmas."
Cohen's mother said the skater had taken part in Christmas tree lighting ceremonies at New York's Rockefeller Center and in California.

Is this o.k. with you, Flo?
What next? No Christmas trees can be displayed in your window or Christmas lights lighting up your house? I know.....we should have to be tattooed with crosses and given numbers and seek shelter from the PC police by hiding in our attics.

How the heck is anyone half Christian? It's a belief, not a bloodline. You either believe or you don't (in which case you die and spend eternity burning in hell).
