It showed the solidarity emonstrations and did not justify the killings. It was however critical of Charlie Hebdo,

Which would be their right wouldn't it, if we're defending free speech?

Correct.
You don't have to like what everybody thinks as long as it is not backed up by violence or threats.

Absolutely. I was defending Al Jazeera - they actually do a creditable job of news reporting IMHO.

1,000,000 copies? Blimey. Isn't its normal circulation around 60,000?

paid for by a 'fine' of google news to help 'print media'. who'll somehow spin it into them being generous.

wonder if the printworks where they got 'martyred' is where it's printed ?

I did wonder that at the time but haven't heard anything.

Apparently the print-run's now up to 3,000,000

Apologies for pointing out the inconsistencies here, but you're on the side of free speech, right?

I'm on the side of everybody who isn't a terrorist should be screaming from rooftops that all these terrorists are a bunch of c*nts

Who said it wasn't? Freely exercised speech isn't immune from the free speech of others. People are well entitled to say they should have covered it in a particular way, they just can't try to force them to.

In the Philippines, police said about 1,500 people protested in the Muslim-majority city of Marawi, with local politicians and teenage students packing the main square and some raising their fists in the air as a Charlie Hebdo poster was burned.

“What happened in France, the Charlie Hebdo killing, is a moral lesson for the world to respect any kind of religion, especially the religion of Islam,” the organisers said in a statement released during the three-hour rally, the Agence France-Presse news agency reported. “Freedom of expression does not extend to insulting the noble and the greatest prophet of Allah.”

In Egypt, the Islamic research centre at Al-Azhar, the Muslim world’s foremost authority, warned that the cartoons risked stirring up hatred.

The drawings “do not serve the peaceful coexistence between peoples and hinder the integration of Muslims into European and western societies”, it said in a statement.

Nothing to do with their total intolerance then is it?

The Muslim Council advised Muslims to react with “dignified nobility”. Its advice sheet says: “Our reaction must be a reflection of the teachings of the gentle and merciful character of the prophet (peace be upon him). Enduring patience, tolerance, gentleness and mercy as was the character of our beloved prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is the best and immediate way to respond.”

It added that depictions of the prophet “cannot tarnish his image” and urged Muslims to speak out. It said: “Engage with others about your feelings. Speak of your love for the prophet (peace be upon him) and do not be shy to let your non-Muslim friends know your justified displeasure at the mockery that is made of our faith. People need to know how much love we have for our prophet.”

This the lot bish likes posting about? Bit one eyed in their views are they not?

I don't think I have ever posted anything related to the Muslim Council, have I? what are you on about?

All sounds a bit relevant to:

These not the same bunch then?



Or are the shed loads of levels of them about?

[thebish]

in a word - no.

(one clue is that they have entirely different names.)

[Hoboh]

in a word - no.

So there is a secret Islamic government in waiting then, seeing there are supposedly so few of them they certainly are hardly underrepresented are they?

Anyway back to business, you are just as select then as you often accuse me of being when you find your little Raison d'être to back you up!

no idea what you're on about!

you said the muslim council were somehow the lot I often quoted - you were wrong, I have never quoted them
you asked if the muslim council are the same lot as the ISB - they are not (as reflected in their totally different names!)

what am I being "select" about?

and in what sense is "So there is a secret Islamic government in waiting then, seeing there are supposedly so few of them they certainly are hardly underrepresented are they?" a joke? is it missing a punchline?

I, for one, don't want a punch line, or a shoot line, or a stab line, or ...
