Title: Re: Iran/ Press Post by maffumatt on Feb 8th, 2006, 7:35am LONDON - As Islamic protests grew against the publication of cartoons lampooning Muhammad, a small but vocal Muslim immigrant organization responded with a drawing on its Web site of Hitler in bed with Anne Frank. "Write this one in your diary, Anne," Hitler was shown as saying. The intent, said the group, the Arab European League, was "to use our right to artistic expression," just as the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten did last September when it published 12 cartoons showing Muhammad, several of them satiric. "Europe has its sacred cows, even if they're not religious sacred cows," said Dyab Abou Jahjah, the founder of the organization, which advocates for immigrants' rights in Belgium, the Netherlands and Denmark. http://www.dailynews.com/news/ci_3485740 |

Title: Re: Iran/ Press Post by Gena on Feb 8th, 2006, 12:18pm Promoting tolerance Still another explanation is that freedom of speech is integral to tolerance, which some people feel should be a basic value in society. Professor Lee Bollinger is an advocate of this view and argues that "the free speech principle involves a special act of carving out one area of social interaction for extraordinary self-restraint, the purpose of which is to develop and demonstrate a social capacity to control feelings evoked by a host of social encounters." The free speech principle is left with the concern of nothing less than helping to shape "the intellectual character of the society". This claim is to say that tolerance is a desirable, if not essential, value, and that protecting unpopular speech is itself an act of tolerance. Such tolerance serves as a model that encourages more tolerance throughout society. Critics argue that society need not be tolerant of the intolerance of others, such as those who advocate great harm, even genocide. Preventing such harms is claimed to be much more important than being tolerant of those who argue for them. Quoted from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_speech |

Title: Re: Iran/ Press Post by rickyshot on Feb 8th, 2006, 2:08pm Freedom in not license and often the lines are blurred. With freedom comes responsibility. I don't agree with attacking religion even if I find it extreme but extremists do not have the right to push the way on me. If we do not stand up for our values or freedoms, watch how fast they will disappear. Being politically correct is suicide. Shit can anyone say something is wrong anymore? I agree with Johnny on this one. Look at the beating Bush and others in power took on Katrina. Kanye WEst publically accused Bush of racism and mishandling of the event (I agree) but that is not the issue or argument here. The point is Kanye is still making records and is not a political prisoner and being beheaded or tortured somewhere. And if y'all can't see the big difference in the average Muslim society and ours, we are in bigger trouble than I thought. I am sorry no one is running there for education or immigration. They are coming here in droves. I wonder why. If I immigrate to another country I am expected to do as THEIR laws dictate. Why the hell do some of the latest immigrants insist on changing our laws to bring their fucked up way of life here on our shores under the disguise of religious freedom. Sorry to sound like this cause I am generally pro immigration (most of us came from immigrants in this country) but North America really needs to examine who they are letting in here. Most of the past immigrants who faced bitter predujices and hardships once landing into these shores obeyed laws and fit in to the best of their ability still while preserving their culture. Why the Hell can't the Muslims do that. Don't like our way of life, think we are Satan, then stay the hell in y'all wonderful countries. And believe me I know America is far from perfect but at least we have the right to change moral wrongs and is the best this ol world has to offer. you simply can't compare the two. |

Title: Re: Iran/ Press Post by medic1852 on Feb 8th, 2006, 2:46pm I have listened to this crap on the news and I have read it here. I am fed up with it. Everyone here pisses and moans about freedom of speech. But you all get bent out of shape when someone uses it. The Danish paper ran some distasteful cartoons about Mohammad. Now there is talk of Iran making cartoons of the Holocaust. Neither is right or nice. But it is their right to free speech. I am not saying Hitler was a nice fellow for murdering Jews. Nor am I saying that the Prophet Mohamed is absolutely correct in his teachings. But then again I am not saying the Holy Bible is either. We all laugh at the cartoons of Mohamed, but get bent and twisted over a threat to make fun of the Holocaust. All that I am saying is that We All need to be tolerant of the others point of view and sensitive as well. Just my thoughts and rambleings. Rodger |

Title: Re: Iran/ Press Post by rickyshot on Feb 8th, 2006, 2:56pm Exactly Roger. As a Jew I am offended but not surprised at Iran's response. At least I know where they stand who the enemy is so to speak. There is nothing wrong with a backlash to unpopular opinions, cartoons, etc but I draw the line at murder, torture etc to those who you feel threatened by. I don 't agree with the Danish cartoon and feel that Muslims should vehemently oppose them vocally and how about a peaceful demonstration God forbid? But this shit going on is something else and I stand by my original comments. |

Title: Re: Iran/ Press Post by Cerberus on Feb 8th, 2006, 8:50pm Jonny... The reason 4 month old toons are just now making a "stink" in places like Iran etc.? Its because they are NOT free to publish anything they want. Synopsis: In the middle east ALL aspects of culture are religion based as a result. ALL aspects of press, Art (all forms) and other things are not only censored with a religious bias, they are published with the same. If these cartoons were not offensive to them religiously... they would have gotten no air-play. Likewise since they WERE religiously offensive to pretty much the entire Islamic/Muslim religious peoples globally Iran made sure that it got as much air-play as possible... it helps rally the common people and keep them committed to the cause. I had an Aunt who lived in Saudi-Arabia for 7 years on a visa to work for the kings hospital in the neuclear medicine dept. The stories she brought back to Canada (her home country) were grim at minimum horriffic (by western culture) to say the least. Muslims are very PROUD of their theology and go out of their way to point it out to the rest of the world. In contrast... I also have spoken with MANY muslims recently and almost ALL of them have told me that in the pictures and tape the media shows us... very FEW of those pictured were there "at will" and even fewer were actually present. Its an old film school trick... the more people you can fit into the frame... the busier or more crowded the shot appears. Iraqis have stated that sometimes they were litterally rounded up and forced at gunpoint to "be in the crowd" during a filming of news or speeches by political leaders. I DO know that typical Muslims (albeit devout and strict) are also some of the most humble and generous people around. AND the large majority of those who immigrate here? THOSE are the ones who are usually trying to escape the fanatical factions within their societies. Of course there are always exceptions to the rule... but I don't hate muslims... I hate their politics. FEW middle eastern politicians were actually elected...which says a little something about those with whom we have trouble. If you beat a dog often enough it typically learns to cower in your presence, OR it becomes violently defensive. 'Bus modified to add: The Irany (pun intended) is two fold... if these extremists want to make a legit point politically... they would have to congregate in one large group.... which effectively makes them easier to target. But if these same people were American islamic extremists, there was a time when our gov't would listen to their greivances, and actually consider some form of reform to accomodate them. Truth can be stranger than fiction. We could learn a few things from them though... they are very very very hard line punishment on "crime" their punishments tend to be disfiguring or fatal for those with (even by western standards) serious crimes. All things in moderation... we tend to be a tad lax on punishment and attempt to "reform" our criminals... our system doesn't work, but somehow I suspect that even with a fair trial there would be FAR fewer violent crimes in the U.S. if we were to adopt some of those concepts. (i.e. rape a someone get your D*ck chopped off and the wound cauterized with a hot iron) kinda weeds out the hard line rapists from the fuzzy grey cases we experience here. Might cut back on unecessary litigation methinks too. I'm done now. 'Bus... Again:-) |

Title: Re: Iran/ Press Post by maffumatt on Feb 8th, 2006, 10:32pm THE al-Qaeda master plan to take over the world and turn it into an Islamic state has been revealed for the first time. Al-Zarqawi — al-Qaeda's Second Generation is published only in Arabic, but could be translated into English. Phase one is the "awakening" in the consciousness of Muslims worldwide following the September 11, 2001, suicide attacks. The aim of the attacks was to provoke the US into declaring war on the Islamic world and thereby mobilising the radicals. Phase two is "Opening Eyes", the period we are now in and which should last until 2006. Hussein says the terrorists hope to make the "Western conspiracy" aware of the "Islamic community" as al-Qaeda continues to mould its secret battalions ready for battle. AdvertisementAdvertisement Phase three, "Arising and Standing Up", should last from 2007 to 2010, with increasingly frequent attacks against secular Turkey and arch-enemy Israel. Phase four, between 2010 and 2013, will see the downfall of hated Arab regimes, including Saudi Arabia and Jordan. Oil suppliers will be attacked and the US economy will be targeted using cyber terrorism. Phase five will be the point at which an Islamic state, or caliphate, can be declared — between 2013 and 2016. Phase six, from 2016 on, will be a period of "total confrontation". As soon as the caliphate has been declared, the "Islamic army" will instigate the "fight between the believers and the non-believers" that has so often been predicted by al-Qaeda's leader, Osama bin Laden. Phase seven, the final stage, is described as "definitive victory". Hussein writes that in the terrorists' eyes, because the rest of the world will be so beaten down by the "One-and-a-half billion Muslims", the caliphate will undoubtedly succeed. This phase should be completed by 2020, although the war should not last longer than two years |

Title: Re: Iran/ Press Post by floridian on Feb 10th, 2006, 9:12am Actually, I like the word 'reckon' - it is an Old English/Old Norse word for calculate or figure. The modern Icelandic word for calculator (device) is Reiknivel - literally, reckoning machine or calculating machine. Of course, when W says he is calculating, I am a bit dubious. |

Title: Re: Iran/ Press Post by sandie99 on Feb 10th, 2006, 9:40am Nani, not bad policies! ;;D Seriously, this whole thing has reminded me that although to many of us there are no limits to things one can joke about. But I do feel sad that to Muslims making fun of their religion is a taboo. I remember reading about a Muslim comedienne, who makes jokes about her culture and religion, knowing, that it could danger her life. I strongly believe in God, but I don't recall seeing jokes/comedy about my religion which would have offended me. Naturally we're all different. As a journalist, I do find it horrible if suddenly now press will be heavily controlled. The pressures which come from entertainment (few newpapers back here have now more entertaining content) and lots of other things are already changing journalism into new direction I'm not sure I'd like it to go. Peace & understanding to all, Sanna |

Yeah... I guess only christians are allowed to do those things. Besides, seems to me the topic of this thread was about an Iranian paper lookin' for holocaust cartoons after being insulted by Mohamed cartoons. Damn... I must be on the wrong thread again.

Title: Re: Iran/ Press Post by imnotbub on Feb 10th, 2006, 2:45pm Here is the unpleasant future according to Stevodamus. Iran is going to build Nucular (for you Bush supporters) weapons, but they don't have ICBM capabilities. SOOOOO, they will drop them on Israel. [smiley=bomb.gif] Since their military prowess borders on that of MODERN France, they will fail to obliterate. The Israelis will not make the same mistake when they retaliate.[smiley=bomb.gif] [smiley=bomb.gif] [smiley=bomb.gif] Lots of fallout[smiley=eek5.gif], lots of finger pointing [smiley=argue.gif], great need for alternative fuel sources[smiley=moonwiggle.gif]. End of the Middle East as we know it. [smiley=nopity.gif] |
