    And most Christians say "Oh God", "Good Lord" and so on without even thinking about it. I hear it all the time on R4.

    Yes and he knew it at the time. The arrogant sod finally got his commeuppance.

    Although I disagree with the law in this case.

    Whatever the number murdered does not lessen the crime. However there are even Jewish writers who accuse Israeli politicians of creating a “Holocaust Industry” out of the suffering. Some put the figures for the gas chambers as low as 200,000 whish is clearly wrong and ridiculous, but also the 6,000,000 is mathematically wrong.

    To comparable fictitious cartoons of Muslims is not comparable with real history.. I do not that when Muslims kill in the name of Allah or Mohamed, there is no such protest of using the names and images in vain

    A few people trying to promote change in Western democracies are using this row to to achieve those aims and we (as a society) are letting them do it. I am pretty sure you will find that most of those marching, destroying property and murdering people (yes 14 people have died over this) have not read the relevent texts and are taking the word of an Iman. As would be the case for most Christians. Those Imans for the most part are leading political organisations mascarading as religous ones.

    Does Islam allow explicit owner-occupiers, then?

    taking the word of an Iman
    Why are they taking the word of David Bowie's wife?

    You may think I'm nit-picking. Call me old-fashioned, but I've always suspected people who can't get syntax right.

    Probably the most ironic post ever on CUK?

    PS. What has any of this religious nonsense got to do with free speech? I believe we should take the piss out of all religions as their followers are clearly a bit hard of thinking.

    Some Islamic sects have stretched this to include Mohammed but note nothing in the Koran actually says that of Mohammed.

    By the way your post is blasphemy and unlike the Muslim tenents under discussion saying 'Oh Christ!' is blasphemy in all Christian sects

    Z,

    I thought you would have realised that well reasoned discussion has no place on these forums!

    Good posts by the way.
