Draw a Terrorist Instead perhaps?

Seems to make more sense to me than drawing some long dead dude and pissing off decent people as well as scumbags while you're at it.

But hey, that's just *my* opinion.

The video I included is almost 4 years old. It bears no relevance to the current situation, but it's a good example (I would think) of how to handle those who do try to terrorise us without antagonising 1.5 billion decent people in the process. I don't think it's THAT difficult.

I think "draw mohammed day" is an infantile way of dealing with it, on a par with "you piss in my pool, I'll piss in yours". And while you have a perfect right to indulge in such silliness, and I won't stop anybody from doing it, I shall use *my* freedom of expression to express my disapproval. Those of you who are upset by that ... you'll get over it ... Eventually.

@tyrongkojy People who get bombed with US made bombs and white phospherous seem to have a problem telling the kind of terror they feel when they see their families blown up and burned, from the kind of terror a suicide bomber inflicts, in both cases civilians are the main targets, if not the only one. One side has neuclear weapons, state of the art planes and tanks, missiles. The other side has stones, rockets that often are handmade and have no ordinance or guidance system and a suicide vest.

@tyrongkojy huh? Where did I say that?

[rozeboosje]

@tyrongkojy Er.... I think you sort of missed the point. During the Good Friday Agreement the parties sat down and talked to each other with a certain level of respect for the other party's position. They didn't proceed to piss on crucifixes and recite the rosary in the other party's face. Catch my drift?

@theDukeOfEmerald hehehe. Probably.

@tyrongkojy It's the agreement that led to the official end of hostilities as far as the IRA, the Republic of Ireland, the UK, and later on many of the main Loyalist paramilitary groups were concerned. There are still a few small splinter groups who will not accept that "the war is over" but [knock wood] they have so far been unable to mount any significant attack on anyone.

@rozeboosje I think you were the only one who read between the lines on that comment, must be an Irish thing ;) haha..

[rozeboosje]

@tyrongkojy And that's all well and good. But understanding is not justification.

[rozeboosje]

@tyrongkojy Sorry, there is no way you're going to convince me that I should look in any way favourably on somebody who, for example, straps a bomb around their waist and who walks into a market square where there are all sorts of people, including children, walking around and who then sets that off. It's not going to happen, no matter *how* sympathetic I am to an oppressed person's plight.

[rozeboosje]

@tyrongkojy They did that, and it led to the Good Friday agreement :-)

@tyrongkojy A battle is a very different kettle of fish to a terrorist attack.
