Muslims Outraged

Not being a muslim I have noticed that in a 24 hour news world they seem to get upset rather alot by people talking bollocks. For a solution see my previous post on the pope. If in doubt apply it to any religion it seems to work.

I guess it's a good thing he didn't show them his Mohammed tattoo. j/k
Those of Islamic faith do seem to be quite animated in today's media.

I'm not sure how popular South Park is on your side of the pond but it is well known here in the states. One of the more recent episodes was poking fun at the reactions of the media, and world in general, to the response of pictures of Mohammed (sp?). The Comedy Central network would not allow an image of Mohammed to be shown in that episode. This seems a bit odd when you consider they allow an older episode (Super Best Friends) to run with Mohammed in it unaltered and using his super powers with buddha, jesus, sea-man, moses and I think one other character.

South Park used to be very popular but seems to have dropped off somewhat.

My views come from a traditional enlightment view. I'm not anti religiuos but its a matter of individual conciuosness. What pee's me off is that i'm increasingly seeing religious sorts, of all stripes, taking umbridge over the smallest issue.
