    Controversial Islam novel publisher bombed

    "Three men have been held under the Terrorism Act after a suspected petrol bombing at the publishing office which released a controversial novel, 'The Jewel of Medina', about the prophet Muhammad and a child bride."

    Shades of Salman Rushdie here I think. Not such a religion of peace after all really is it?

    No, it isn't. Now if we could just convince everybody else.

    Well "Religion of Peace" is just a slogan for the modern world, and invented entirely for the west.

    Islam translates to "Submission", which is exactly what people are meant to do when faced with terrorists.

    Father Ted takes the utter piss out of Christianity, Ireland, Priests, etc., no bomb threats or arson attacks were performed.

    Or when the crucifix was displayed in a glass of urine and called "Piss Christ" in New York. Or when right beside the Cathedral in Vienna an art gallery showed the last supper as a homosexual orgy.

    Fundamentalists of all religions are nut-cases. Claiming an entire religion is not peaceful because of the acts of a minority requires a level of pig ignorance which can also be seen in those who make such ridiculous statements.
    A P.ie moderator stated this on June 25th 2010: P.ie tolerates very broad free speech, and thus allows sectarian bigotry etc

    Funny how on these threads the pc left has stopped defending Islam. Is there a change in the air? Are even those that banged the drum for multiculturalism the loudest having second thoughts? About time I say.
