Would this not be better in the offbeat news topic?

I think this proves how despite the cartoon episode not much has changed. I don't think it's just a case of Muslims not having done enough to educate non-Muslims but also how non-Muslims just seem to have had enough of all things Islam, so just aren't interested, unfortunately. I know people who knew nothing about Muhammad (pbuh) before the carton fiasco and still don't.

I expected someone to bring this up at work today and was extremely glad no-one did.

I really hope something is done to make sure she is released and not punished. I do believe it was just naivety. On her part.

It is a non-story that was seen for a day and then dropped into obscurity. No one is trying to use this to push any agenda yet.

Are we trying to somehow see this as a bandwagon or something to say that Muslims are under attack? (and conveniently forget that it was Muslims who did the arresting...)

That's just silly.

What the hell is an "Islamist"?

Ive often read articles where they use the term "Islamist"??
What the hell is that all about? Makes it sound like that theres this person whose an expert in Islam (Tony Blair probably) so they'r called Islamists.... or maybe its an occupation. Someone gets paid for being all Islamic.

I wish the BBC would wake up and use propper terminology.

morons.

Can't do nothing about it, so no point getting worked up.

muppet

But you asked them for proper terminology yet you cant be botherd to spell properly, i dont see where it balances out?

for once, Funzo does have a very valid point.

I think the real reply should be, for once funzo has made a valid point in the right way and isnt annoying in any way shape or form.

The part where they are the BBC and this is an online forum.

The BBC are expected to have standards.... whereas here Im supposed to listen to your ideas, mock them and then embrace my own.

So on this forum where supposed to have a certain level of hypocrisy?
Demand a certain level, yet do not obey them ourselves im sorry my friend but thats not what being muslim is about.

that was a post in your favour. Don't question, just savour it.

Oh i thought i said something wrong lol

I thought the kids named the bear Muhammed and not the teacher?

I feel sorry for the woman.

All this drama is unneccessary - but at the same time, I wonder if a fuss would be kicked up up by my head (who's a strict christian) if I named a toy donkey Jesus?

Even as a non Christian, I can see that it wouldnt be right.

AS A MUSLIM YOU SHOULD SEE THATS NOT RIGHT!!

We are oft to blame in this,
Tis too much proved, that with devotion's visage
And pious action we do sugar o'er
The devil himself.

Notice how I used the phrase 'whereas here Im supposed to' ... as in me... the singular. And the singular I is but the form following the function of Me, Myself and I.

And how I choose to behave is in lieu of the more commonplace sobriquet, to suggest the character of this dramatis persona. To say hypocrisy is to imply a virtuous character, where as I am not.

The term you are looking for is arrogance. And arrogance has to be earned. Tell me what you've done to earn yours.

Its funny how much pride you have, you have to win dont you? Notice instead of putting arrogance i put pride.
Definition of arrogance- A show of excessive pride by a person
hypocrisy- condeming someone for which the person in him/herself is guilty of.
Now look up you where being a hypocrit, but now your being arrogant by trying to satisfy your huge ego by using words which you believe to confuse me. Now i took the smart option, by sticking to plain english doing this i am more appealing to the people reading this helping me win this argument. You have much to learn.

i liek the way fanzo edited his earlier post where he said he didn't wanna argue

I like the way you didnt realise i didnt edit it.

I understand, perhaps such complex phrases are wasted on you. Since you're new to english. But if you insist on satisfying your own ego in constantly challenging me you may want to try raising the bar alittle... atleast so you can see above it.

Hypocrisy is a pretense of having some desirable or publicly approved attitude. I on the other hand neither care nor require public approval to win anything.
Arrogance is an offensive display of pride in one-selves superiority or self-importance. Since YOU wanted everything to be up to BBC standard Im obliged to conform.

And since i dont have time to prance around with you. I shall say be warned, beware, by closing your eyes you'll see what isn't there, Open your eyes, lies may be truth and truth may be lies.

Arragonce doesnt have to be offensive it can merely be agressive or excessive.
As for your long words being wasted, yes they were, im tired and maybe tomorrow i will reply to those words you cyber uttered.
