Observer II Posted October 29, 2020 Report Share Posted October 29, 2020 Seems Islamists can't take a joke and are now decapitating folk in France, over cartoons of the Prophet. Well, as no one knows what the Prophet looked like, anymore than we know exactly what Jesus looked like (no selfies in their day), how can they construe a depiction of him. Seems a 7th century mind set, can't catch up with the 21st century. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davy51 Posted October 29, 2020 Report Share Posted October 29, 2020 If he came from the middle east he could even have been Jewish , the prophet ,that is. The extremist don't do anything to further the cause of their fellow peaceful Muslims being readily accepted by non Muslim society. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted October 29, 2020 Report Share Posted October 29, 2020 As long as the French insist that they have the right to insult the beliefs and traditions of other religions, things like this are going to happen. If you invite the bulls into your field then just don't wave red rags at them you silly Frenches. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Observer II Posted October 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2020 The French pride themselves at being a secular society, which means that any religion is a private matter and has no place in the public space, something I profoundly agree with. Such religious ideas are imo a throwback to ignorant and superstitious times and should have no place or influence in a modern scientific based society. The French should review their open door attitude to immigration, which, as with us, is bringing these head cases into their midst. 😠 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
