Im not sure how you could claim that they werent offensive. the bomb on the head was just one of many. Others included Mohammed being raped by a dog and Mohammed as a pedifile. Could you say those are offensive without seeing them?

I don't expect to see any Mosques burned down or anything. Muslims throughout the world really do need to take a chill pill. It is kind of fucked up that they are making fun of a jewish massacre and not Moses or someone. If it was a caricature of Moses being cheap then they would really be turning the table.

Jews aren't people, they're infidels.

1 Jew = 1/10 Muslim = 7.8 virgins

So mathematically speaking you would have to blow up 10 jews to get the 78 virgins? Or just one muslim?

This is honestly one of the stupidest international incidents I've ever heard of, where everyone is being a pissy little bitch about it by refusing to appologise, or blowing it WAY out of preportion. Yes the two cartoon displayals are similar, in the sense that they're both meant to be offensive to the other party, but would it be so fucking hard to swallow their own pride for a moment and drop it?! I mean; for fuck's sake, seriously.


So I'm basically awesome.

10 J00s per Muslim-based person, 100 J00s per 78 virgins.

Umm, no. The goverments largely thought it was untrue and sensationalist propaganda. There was a lot of uncertantity about the subject until concentration camps began to be liberated.

That's debatable.

Ehh let them. Freedom of Speech and all(though Iran doesn't have the freedom of speech)

It's just that no one will listen to them.

Hell, neo nazi's have had Jewish and Holocaust cartoons out for a while, no one takes them seriously.

Do you think they'll take Iran any more then them.

10 J00s per Muslim-based person, 100 J00s per 78 virgins.

That would be 1 jew= 0.78 virgins.

You you claim to be an engineer.=P

Dammit Commander you've got it all wrong. See you gotta read that "=" sign as "is worth". It was easy for me with this nifty headband, operating on a wavelength all my own.

I think my math r teh teh right.

Mr. La Forge if you can't even handle a calculation as simple as the worth of the common Jew then I don't think there's a place for you in Star Fleet.

I'm sorry sir, I won't let it happen again.

Speaking freely, do you think the Iranians would find our little convo funny if it were in comicstrip form?

The Iranians are forgeting one critical thing: scale.

Mohammed is one man. Sure, he's their favorite guy, but he's one man, and the cartoons were simply insults.

The Holocaust was the genocidal slaughtering of 11 million people. Attacking the victims of that event isn't an insult, it's kicking a man while he's down.

That's an immature thing to do, especially as a "retaliation." If anything, the original cartoon showed the rest of the world just how immature and childish the Middle Eastern countries remain, even to this day. Someone publishes an offensive cartoon, so they riot, burn down embassies, boycott an entire nation, demand censuring and apologies, burn flags, and murder people.

How can anyone be farther from being a mature culture? There's a reason the Middle East is in such a messy state right now, and that's the self-destruction, immature culture, and poor self-control of the countries. Most other cultures learn their lesson after the first few centuries.

According to the link posted by Lapis, you're a damn liar. None of the cartoons even suggested anything like rape by a dog or pediphiles. Except for the bomb one, all of them were quite harmless and only poking fun. Either you're reporting false information with the intention of inflaming the topic and producing fake defense for the Muslim reaction, or you need to post the link to the actually "offensive" cartoons your mentioned.

Lapis' link had all 12 cartoons, so I think you simply lied to make a case that never existed.
