Cartoons bring debate to UCI (pics)
Orange County Register ^

Posted on 03/01/2006 6:11:09 AM PST by Ladycalif

Irvine Three cartoons mocking the Prophet Muhammad drew about 300 peaceful protesters to UC Irvine on Tuesday night outside a forum that at times sparked free-wheeling shouting matches and audience ejections by police.

The free public forum, co-sponsored by a Republican student group at UCI and a self-described conservative student group in Burbank, featured the unveiling of images that for weeks have sparked rioting and deaths in Afghanistan and other Muslim countries. The images originally were published by a Danish newspaper.

" drew about 300 peaceful protesters to UC Irvine on Tuesday night outside a forum that at times sparked free-wheeling shouting matches and audience ejections by police"

If they were ejected, how peaceful could they be?

Notice how the Default Muslim Position is hatred of Jews. I do not think any of the Danish cartoonists are Jewish, but these hateful, violent Muslims don't care.

Islam and Muslims just can't seem to get past that can they? Prima facie evidence of the whacked-outedness of their bizarre cult!

Love the Meccha idiot in the crowd. It seems Muslims have been converting many south of the border to Islam.

Freedom of Speech: YES
Hate Speech: NO

You can't have one without the other, nimrod. Being disallowed to say anything critical or even mean about some one or some group IS NOT FREEDOM.

How can we feel good about these people when they openly call for an end to the 1st amendment? They either don't know or don't care about the most basic foundations of this nation.

Thousands of Muslims worldwide have protested, sometimes violently, after the cartoons were published in a Danish newspaper and in other European newspapers. Islam widely holds that representations of Muhammad are banned for fear they could lead to idolatry.

I could care less what Muslims think about Mohammed cartons. I don't live in a nation where there is Sharia law nor where Islam is dominant. These arrogant immigrants forget this. They are the worst possible immigrants and seek to dictate to Danes what free speech is. Danes who have lived there for hundreds of years while the Muslims are fresh off the boat. They also try to tell Americans what free speech is. A harmless Mohammed cartoon falls under American free speech laws. They will try to bully Americans and Danes and try to cut off free wheeling discussion of their evil prophet and their ignoble Koran

Any educated person who DOES NOT HAVE Islamophobia is either living in a Utopian fantasy or taking too many drugs.

drugs - chemicals that alter the emotional mood or adjust the functioning of the anatomy. Prozac and marijuana are common drugs.

"Muhammad; Protector of Women"

Yeah, that is exactly what I thought when I read about the nurse in Afghanistan that was ordered by the town elders to be raped for NOT performing abortions.
