And furthermore, it's entirely possible for the staff or owner(s) of the paper to subscribe to a specific view and/or ideology that isn't shared by the majority of the population. Here we have papers with socialist tendencies, for instance, and that particular ideology isn't one that's shared by the entire population.

yeh thats why it efficts reached norwagian, french, Ispanish, UK, Italia and many other Europian newspapers, they all re-posted the same cartoons. now how in the hell u say not all western think same, they all are trying to hurt our feelings, one can be mistake two also can be but 3rd wont be a mistake its on purpose.
btw french newspaper owner fired his GM for reposting it.

/ban all them countrys that published them pics?

What countrys has published them? , I dont know fo'sho but given the fuzz about it,
I dont think Denmark is the only and last one. (+teh intarweb)

Over all, I think this is rather bad PR for muslims,
and ofcource, Media knows no bad PR, its all PR for them.

FFS, read again, I just said that what is in the papers doesn't reflect what the people think.

It doesn't mean that the entire western world is out to get you.
Also, some of them had articles about this little incident, and they were showing the pics so people could see what you were complaining about, they were hardly taking a bash at you, if anyone was.


Don't you have free press over there? Do you agree with everything that's printed in every newspaper in U.A.E.?

[BawA]

all press here have thier freedom of speech they go on goverments even on shikhs but they respect peoples belivings and dont do such a things to hurt them even tho most of them arent from our region, what danish newspaper did was ignoring what our newspapers respect.

We are all trying to HURT you? IMO it's thinking like this that lies at the root for all extremist behaviour, including Nazi germany.

To clarify, it's the we/you way of thinking which is bad. You shouldn't generalize. What's happening now is the western media feeling they have to prove their freedom of speech, it's got nothing to do with hate as far as I can see. You could argue however that the way in which they go about proving this freedom of speech is wrong.

(I read a norwegian professor (I think) saying something along the lines of the way the majority group is putting down a minority in this case is exceptional and further that if this had happened in Pakistan for instance, with the muslim majority doing something similar towards the chrisitan minority human rights activists would have been all over it.)

But, if you get that, how can you think that every westerner thinks the same as the people who write in the paper(s)?

And also, do you know what the pictures were meant to say? 'cos as far as I know it may well be that it was

a depiction of the Muhammed the terrorists worship, or what they've reduced him to by doing what they do in his name, rather than a picture of the "actual" benign prophet you love.

If so, they were hardly saying anything about you, or trying to get to you, but rather they were trying to do something to or about the ones that blow people up.

And you don't do that, do you?


My point is that all you've seen are those pics, you don't know (and you don't seem to care) why they were in there. And to top it off, you seem to want to blame everyone who isn't like you, like some racist or something.

[ahctlucabbuS]

Then you're back to blaming all muslims (by printing those pictures) for something a small group of individuals (the terrorists) do?

You think the chap may have become some kind of fascist xenophobiac fucktard fundamentalist, I think that's a bit harsh.

He justs expects everyone else to feel the same way as he does about his religion, that it is precious and should not be mocked. Others are more able to laugh at their own (and others) religion, but to each their own.
