  Re: Danish cartoons outrage some Moslem groups and nations
 
(...) That is very interesting. Why do you suppose that attempts haven't been made to change your flag to remove that Christian element? Or have there been? I'm really curious as to whether or not this is or ever was an issue of debate in your (...) (19 years ago, 3-Feb-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
 
  Re: Danish cartoons outrage some Moslem groups and nations
 
(...) I'm saying that the people that are on the streets with the threatening of life and the shooting of guns in the air and aprtaking in 'violent demostrations' are the uncivilized people--it doesn't matter if they're muslim. christian, agnostic, (...)

  Re: Danish cartoons outrage some Moslem groups and nations
 
(...) It's mostly a clash between the extremists. Here in Norway, a fundamental Christian newspaper, which nobody had heard about before this issue came up, reprinted the pictures. And this is taken up by similar guys on the Muslim side, who are (...) (19 years ago, 3-Feb-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
 
  Re: Danish cartoons outrage some Moslem groups and nations
 
(...) What took you? :-) (...) The er, fundamental difference, is that one is peaceful and law-abiding, and the other isn't. You can call the responses from US-based religious groups to any given issue "acrimonious" if you want, but they are rarely (...) (19 years ago, 3-Feb-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
 
  Re: Danish cartoons outrage some Moslem groups and nations
 
(...) Glad you clarified, because now I really have no idea what you're talking about! Who and where and what are these people about whom you speak? JOHN (19 years ago, 3-Feb-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

I think the difference is that you're living in a society that can voice their differences in a fashion that doesn't entail the need to lop the heads off people if (...)

I don't really see much difference here but it is a matter of semantics and thus purely opinion based. (...) (...) (19 years ago, 3-Feb-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
