What does having that av make you feel?
What is it's purpose?
What does insulting a faith give you?

It's purpose is to defend freedom of speech in the face of deadly violence intended to end it.

What does giving in to terrorism give you (because that's exactly what this is)?
 
Has any major Muslim group condemned those responsible for all the fire bombings, murders and widespread persecution of Christians that's currently going on in Egypt?

Ohhhhh man, I don't know

I'm gonna go play some BF3, do some surveillance of Kharg Island, so I'm ready when we invade Iran.

Who's with me 🙂

Does that still work when you don't got the balls to put your name on it? See that newspaper at least had the balls.

ya, ok you win, you in for some BF3?
 
So what? I haven't heard of anything violent done by Westboro.

Not only that, but they haven't even done anything illegal. Stupid, crazy? Yes. Illegal? No.

There's a difference between the crazies protesting peacefully versus the crazies who firebomb the building of someone because they dared publish a cartoon the cult finds offensive.

I've decided that your AV pisses me off to the extent that I'll kill you if you don't take it down.

Will you take it down or not?
 
Your son dated one of them???

Her dad is from Pakistan, and her mom is American. The girl was being raised Christian, but did not eat pork. I thought the mom and dad did a good job of balancing out the two religions.

In the end, the girl went back with one of her old boy friends and things did not work out between her and my son.

As for the liquor store, the lady that owns it looks like she is either from India or Pakistan.

The guy who works at the corner store where I buy beer, he parks his car close to the front doors at night; the prayer rug is on the backseat of the car.

All of the muslims I have met are friendly, and greet me with a smile.

But have you noticed how the cash register is on their right hand side of the counter? So they hand your change back to you with their left hand?

I'm just saying that this isn't just about a few outlyers...there's a significant number of very active and violent Muslim extremists thoughout the world.

Look.. your not fighting terrorism by doing that

Your just insulting a whole group of people who follow a faith , who aren't trying to do anything to shit on yours.

The odds of some pissed off right wing Christian nutjob tracking you down on the internet and killing you would be 1000's times more likely

Would you say his analogy has any merit?

No, I don't.
I just thought it was quite wacky
My av doesn't have anything to do with anyone's religion/faith

He can take my pic and photoshop it anyway he wants and stick it in his av instead of the Mo pic
That sounds like a deal
Maybe I'll promise to give his abortion posts a read then too 🙂

So are you defending people that firebomb stores because their feelings were hurt? :|

no..
Find this firebomber terrorist and deal with him to the full extent of the law, same with the one in Texas
And that all Muslims are not terrorist

The problem isn't the religion. The problem is the fanatical and insane minority have found a way to be very loud through the use of explosives. And it doesn't help when they do it in first world countries. I bet if you look at Africa you'd find tons of horrifying acts happening in the name of Christianity. We just don't report that shit. I haven't heard of any atheists doing anything crazy violence in the name of anti-religion lately.

That's a nice narrative but the fact's don't back you up. The "insane minority" has been shown to have the support of at least large minority of the Muslim population in poll after poll and often has majority support.
