They got the hint. The day you step back, fundamentalists win, and you can never take that step forward again. If anything, we should publish funny drawings of Muhammad in every newspaper everyday. Then people would start to understand how their prophet isn't any more sacred than any other and we have the right to make fun of him as we want.

They should never have stepped over that line in the first place.
But who drew that line ? Democracy, aka the people, draw the lines ! The line today in France says : it's ok to draw Muhammad, it's ok to make fun of him, it's ok to criticize whoever you want, it's just not okay to provoke hatred against a community.

It's been since 1905 religions didn't draw the lines here. We're not letting them back.

I came here to see how this thread had gone, and I hereby officially state that :

I'm in love with Antonio V.

He defended each and every point I would've, probably better than I would've, and never let go.

Now I'm curious. One of these days I'll draw a stick-man and write Muhammad under him, even in Arabic as I happen to know how to write in it, and publish it on this forum. Will it be censored ? And then I'll keep publishing it every day. I could even include a Muhammad caricature in my sig. We should get everybody used to it.

It's not because the Muslim world is in their 14th century that they should act like we did in ours...

Fifteenth century Anno Hegirae.
Ah yes, sorry, I was mixing my calendars with the Persan-Iranian one, starting on the Hijra but solar. That one is in its 14th century (1391 to be precise) Wink
