Muslim Groups Attempt to Censor Wikipedia
Nom du Keyboard writes "The New York Times is reporting that Muslim groups are attempting to censor Wikipedia because of images of Muhammad contained in the article about him. 'A Frequently Asked Questions page explains the site's polite but firm refusal to remove the images: "Since Wikipedia is an encyclopedia with the goal of representing all topics from a neutral point of view, Wikipedia is not censored for the benefit of any particular group." The notes left on [online petitions against the page] come from all over the world. "It's totally unacceptable to print the Prophet's picture," Saadia Bukhari from Pakistan wrote in a message. "It shows insensitivity towards Muslim feelings and should be removed immediately."'"
We all know some idiot will soon post an excuse absolving the culprits of any blame and instead will point the finger at:
a. Christianity
b. The United States of America
c. George W. Bush
d. All of the above
Because, you know, we have to respect our muslim friends beliefs even if it means giving up our own to do so.
I find it comical that the muslims are in uproar over some images while they have no problems with their Mohammad being a pedophile. Mohammad married a 6 year old girl and fucked her when she was 9. Today he would have been behind bars for statutory rape.
If you mod me down, I *will* introduce you to my sister!
Bullshit. There's more similarity between Christian and Islamic fundamentalists than there are differences. They use the same methods when it suits them, they just disagree on points of dogma.
In what major Western Country can religion impose restrictions on free speech?
The United States of America. Do try to keep up here.
If we are willing to give up our freedom of speech to appease a handful of loud Muslims that offend easily then we truly are doomed.
I agree. If you replaced "Muslims" with "Christians" and made it past tense, I'd agree with that too.
Hey, I finally got my first freak! Took you long enough!

Show me where Muhammed preached loving thy neighbor- including those who aren't of your own faith and I'll support your statement. Last I checked, my Bible didn't say to wage jihad against the infidels.
...Oh, sorry. Didn't notice the Christians did that first
