The West so often makes fun of its still dominant faith- Christianity like through this Monty Python.
However, should Rushdie get some sympathy in the West, or Mohammed cartoons be published, all hell breaks loose and they're accused of Islamophobia. Can someone see the double standards?
Yes I can, and it really annoys me!
What really irks me is when they feel it is ok to mock others beliefs, but not their own
I know - it really angers me!
I showed a Muslim a video of Rowan Atkinson mocking Jesus
Hereand said that some Christian Fundies have tried to get it banned. He agreed that was disgusting and they shouldn't be allowed. Then I said what would he say if Rowan Atkinson was mocking Muhammad. Then he suddenly changed his argument and went on and on about how we should edfine insult and what censorship means and that if the intention was to insult blah blah blah... it was hilariously transparent!
Christians fundies can be just as bad of course. I remember reading about an Egyptian Muslim who criticised Islam and so the Copts eagerly gave him the opportunity to speak out, then when he criticised them - they pulled the plug on him. Wankers!
I HATE hypocrisy and double standards!
Fuck all religions and fuck all their poor sensitive feelings!
