Suppose others will not take part in it, but I spoke with some Asians and they are fed up with antics made by violent opponents of film.

Suppose comment using "White" was planted there just to make further division of opposition.

Danish Mohammad cartoonist rejects censorship


?m=02&d=20120920&t=2&i=654904824&w=460&fh=&fw=&ll=&pl=&r=CBRE88J0PZR00.jpg



(Reuters) - The Danish cartoonist who outraged Muslims with a drawing of the Prophet Mohammad seven years ago has said the West cannot let itself be muzzled by fear of offending Islamic sensibilities.

Kurt Westergaard, whose lampoon of Mohammad in the Jyllands-Posten paper nearly got him killed by an axe-wielding assassin in 2010, told Austrian magazine News he had no regrets about his work and said freedom of speech was too precious to relinquish.

Westergaard said cartoons poking fun at Muslims could signal that Western cultures saw them as part of society. "But we don't understand one another," he added.

That was because "we have long found ourselves in a culture war" raging not just between the West and the Middle East but directly in Western societies where he said many Muslims seem not to understand or respect democracy and freedom of speech.

He said cartoonists could not hold back in their efforts to spotlight issues in a pointed way.

"It is already bad enough when people like politicians or journalists who work with words no longer prefer to say and write things that are obvious. We have got used to that, but fortunately not yet to (the idea) that bans on drawings also prevail in the meantime."

Came past another piece of information that I might pay at the Supermarket fee for certification, that animal was killed in certain (more barbaric than necessary) way, or that food was prepared in certain way.

Suppose I might not worry about it, but cost of such a certification surely is passed on to me, so in effect I donate tax free money to cause that I would not donate if asked.
Not to mention that I have no control on what money are used for.

Anybody can feel free to read about it in:

Apparently the Pakistan government gave the populace the day off to attend a 'peaceful protest'.
Yeah, right. That is effectively sanctioning violence.
 
A Monash University study, revealed today by The Weekend Australian, has found that experts believe dozens of Muslim extremists are living in Australia, and it may only be the absence of a religious leader ready to sanction the use of violence that has prevented a terrorist attack here.

And it seems they want to invade the west, but don't want the west on their turf:

Federal minister announces $100,000 bounty on anti-Islam filmmaker

440855-anti_muslim_film_protest_afp_-1348311500-115-640x480.jpg


PESHAWAR / LAHORE: Federal Railway Minister Ghulam Ahmed Bilour announced that $100,000 will be awarded to the person who kills the maker of the anti-Islam blasphemous film “Innocence of Muslims”.

Speaking to the media on Saturday, Bilour said that there was no other way to lodge a protest and instill fear among the blasphemers other than murder of the filmmaker. “I request all the rich people to bring out all their money so that the killer can be loaded with dollars and gold.”

The minister admitted of knowing that he was committing a crime by instigating people for murder, but said that he was ready to be a criminal for this cause. “If there is a case lodged against me in the international court or in this country’s court, I will ask people to hand me over to them… I want to show these countries that we will not tolerate any such things.”

He added that if he is punished, the country should not end ties with the US as this was a matter between him and his prophet.

Push to call blasphemy a crime
THE divide in world opinion over what constitutes free speech will be on display again this week at the United Nations, where arguments over a proposed blasphemy law were an annual feature for a decade.

This time it is the global reaction to a YouTube video that disparages Islam's prophet Muhammad that is sure to roil the meeting of the UN General Assembly.

Muslim leaders have vowed to discuss the offensive video from their UN platforms, sowing concern among free-speech activists of a fresh push toward an international law that would criminalise blasphemy. Human rights groups and Western democracies resisted such a law for years and thought they had finally quashed the matter after convincing enough nations that repressive regimes used blasphemy laws to imprison or execute dissidents.

Grants to reduce extremist violence 'missing their target'

The Government has given community groups millions of dollars to try and reduce extremist violence, but some Muslim community members say the grants are not working.

The Federal Attorney-General's Department says the grants are aimed at building resilience to violent extremism and assisting individuals who are vulnerable to extremist influences.

Since the program began two years ago, $4.2 million has been handed out to sporting organisations, education providers and Islamic NGOs and community groups.

After bumping into few 'h a l a l' products at Woolworths I didn't think much of it
But this page points out how I contribute to tax free income for certification and annual license fees, as it is part of product’s price. ( Not happy … )

I am sure that your tax dollars are also diverted towards other religious groups and their traditions.

I do agree that halal foods should be labelled so that consumers can have the option to purchase/not purchase said product.
 
Do you see Christians going ape-s**t over this?

Urinating on the Qur'an or tearing it up would incite more hatred towards the West, but it's ok for other people to do this...

Egypt refers man who tore Bible to trial

CAIRO (AP) ”” Egyptian prosecutors referred to trial Tuesday a well-known radical Islamist who tore up an English copy of the Bible during a protest outside the U.S. Embassy in Cairo against an anti-Islam film produced in the United States.

The case against Ahmed Mohammed Abdullah is a rare example of Egypt's blasphemy laws ”” often condemned by rights groups as restrictive of freedom”” used against someone who allegedly insulted a religion other than Islam.

Abdullah, also known as Abu Islam, was filmed during a protest outside the embassy two weeks ago as he stood before the crowd and ripped up the holy book. "Next time I will urinate on it," he says in another video. Both videos were posted online.

The subject of the protest, the film "Innocence of Muslims," has enraged many Muslims for its portrayal of the Prophet Muhammad as a fraud, a womanizer and a child molester. At least 51 people, including the U.S. ambassador to Libya, have been killed in violence linked to protests over the film, which also has renewed debate over freedom of expression in the Middle East, U.S. and in Europe.

Lets have a look at one of Muhammed's wives, Aisha.

She was ~9 years old when she got married to Muhammed.

Enough said!

  • According to the traditional sources, Aisha was six or seven years old when she was betrothed to Muhammad and nine when the marriage was consummated.[6][8][9] Aisha stayed in her parents' home for several years until she joined Muhammad and the marriage was consummated when she was nine.[6][8][9][10][11][12] However, al-Tabari records that she was ten.

I did not see any Wollworths products certified by Christians, unless I missed it.

And doubt it too, that any money goes to Church for sold Cross Buns or Christmas Cards and Christmas decorations.

I will be actually looking and asking about it, especially after watching this video.

Why is it still allowed in 21 century in Australia is beyond me.
What about our cultural sensitivity, does it stand for something?

Only shows that we haven't got enough back bone so to speak.

Video made me very emotional, so big warning it is grusome and so wrong.

Edit: I know that video is from UK, but it must be exactly the same here, just no local video, or maybe there is one
 
More riots on the horizon.......or not???


Government won't block visa for anti-immigration Dutch politician


A DUTCH politician who has compared Islam to fascism and called for an end to non-Western immigration in his country will not be stopped from visiting Australia.

Controversial far-right MP Geert Wilders has applied for a visa to Australia to conduct a speaking tour this month, just weeks after Muslim riots in Sydney.

Immigration Minister Chris Bowen said he would not block the bid by Mr Wilders, despite condemning his views as "offensive".

Writing in The Australian, Mr Bowen said that "to read his writings is to be struck by their ignorance and their wrongheaded views of other people's beliefs".

But this was not a reason to stop Mr Wilders from speaking, Mr Bowen said.

Sorry Mr Bowen, l myself find it offensive anyone who holds a 'Behead those who insult Muhammed' or 'Kill non believers' placards!!!
It seems that you can say almost say anything offensive, as long as it falls under religious circumstances defending your 'god'.
