Jehovah!

It's because I made 200,000 requests for more images of the Prophet Mohammed.

this should get teh instead.

can't stop the signal Mohammad.

abb3w: Jehovah!


Jenova!

Where's your god now?

pfffft

They'll get over it.

It's kind of hard to suicide-bomb a website.

Kome: Jenova!

Wait until the Christian fundies hear THIS:

Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth

Megain: pfffft

"Come on up and see me sometime..."

Using free speech as an excuse to intentionally offend people.. God bless America.

Alacritous: Using free speech as an excuse to intentionally offend people.. God bless America.

I don't think it's intentionally to offend people. That's just a pleasent side bonus.

Not everyone subscribes to the Islam myth, so why should anyone else have to have any part of it forced upon their life? F*ck 'em. It's as stupid as having any part of any other religious myth forced upon non-believers.

HowlingFrog: Wait until the Christian fundies hear THIS:

You wouldn't pull a "B...b...but Christians" would you?

Kome: That's just a pleasent side bonus.

You should check out some of the other places that have been talking about this. There are people out there REVELING in the fact that it offends Muslims. It's not pretty.

Probably because people haven't forgotten what utter asshats the Muslim world acts like everytime they get an emotional boo boo. No explanation in the world can justify rampant rioting and violence over POLITICAL CARTOONS. And that's just one example.

I would have hoped that people would use the gift of free speech to say something a little more, oh.. I don't know, significant, than NEENER NEENER!!

Alacritous: Using free speech as an excuse to intentionally offend people.. God bless America.

People could do with being offended more often. Maybe then the world wouldn't need such a large fleet of Waahmbulances.

Good for Wikipedia for not caving in to the demands of a bunch of people who throw tantrums if they don't get their way.

Is this the thread where all the class-acts and credits to humanity post?

Alacritous: I would have hoped that people would use the gift of free speech to say something a little more, oh.. I don't know, significant, than NEENER NEENER!!

People's reactions to "neener neener" are important. Stupid reactions to something as silly as a picture just reflect on the massive stupidity of the people offended. Like the morons who protested "Piss Christ". Grow up, you don't have to look at it if you don't want to.

Persepolis: Is this the thread where all the class-acts and credits to humanity post?

Yup.

Since anybody can edit there, why don't people just remove the images themselves instead of biatch about them?

Kome: silly as a picture

Except it's not silly to them. Believe it or not, there are some people out there that actually take their religion seriously.. I'm all in favour of religious debate. But this just seems to me like it would be the same as walking up to muslims in the street and popping a picture of Mohammed in their face just to see what they'll do. It produces nothing more than entertainment for the instigators. Or showing the Madonna "like a prayer" video to catholics just to see them gnash their teeth. It's a conflict that produces nothing of value.

AntiNorm: Since anybody can edit there,

They've disabled editing on this article. Just cuz.

Or replace the 'offensive' images with lolcats or something?

They'd be reverted back. I don't think they can win the numbers battle, and the article is already locked to prevent vandalism.

If no one ever said anything offensive we wouldn't have much need for freedom of speech.

Foaming: If no one ever said anything offensive

I don't have a problem with things that are offensive. I agree with you whole heartedly, except for when the only desired result of such speech is specifically to be offensive.

But this just seems to me like it would be the same as walking up to muslims in the street and popping a picture of Mohammed in their face just to see what they'll do.

No one is forcing these people to go to the wikipedia page on Mohammed, so no, it's not quite the same. Why are they doing Wiki searches on their prophet anyway? Don't they have some sort of, I don't know, holy text or something that can tell them all they need to know about him?

It produces nothing more than entertainment for the instigators.

Can produce education for the non-Muslims who are interested in this sh*t. Which is, I believe, the purpose of wikipedia - a reference website for things that people are unfamiliar with.

Or showing the Madonna "like a prayer" video to catholics just to see them gnash their teeth. It's a conflict that produces nothing of value.

We learn a lot from conflict. That's valuable.

I support Wikipedia's decision.

I also support them moving the Wikimedia Foundation offices and the Wikipedia server racks somewhere further away from me than down the street. Perhaps Arkansas.

odd that nobody seems to have a problem with that if we're all bashing Christianity.....but say or do something to offend a thin skinned muslim and suddenly it's not cool to make fun of a religious belief?

curious.

YES!!!11!one!

The joy that some people are taking in this story is a good indicator. And to be honest, the images don't really add to the article. If they were actual photographs of Mohammed(for example, I know they didn't have cameras back then) that would be different.

Seriously. F*ck Islam. F*ck Christianity, too, but Christians never flew planes into skyscrapers.

"Believe it or not, there are some people out there that actually take their religion seriously"

Believe it or not, there are some people out there who think Jehovah is coming with the next comet. And they take that seriously.

fark them, too.

Weaver95: it's not cool to make fun of a religious belief?

I don't now and have never gone out of my way to make fun of peoples religious beliefs. I understand that they have a psychological need for those beliefs even if I don't share them, I understand them. and in general as long as they leave me alone, I leave them alone. Free speech issues aside, I think this whole Mohammed cartoons thing is just not very cool.

Christians never flew planes into skyscrapers.

Yup.

Blameless.

Needs more "Hero" tag. Knowledge is meant to be free.

Perhaps they should not go to the website then. I mean, I know I'm talking crazy and all. Going out of your way to be offended seems just as bad as going out of your way to offend someone.

There is a lack of good sense on either side of this issue. But then, that's pretty much the human way.

/f*rk all hyperbelievers

I never said Christians are blameless, but the atrocities committed by Christians (abortion clinic bombings, killing gay people, protesting funerals, Pat Robertson) pale in comparison to the bullsh*t that Muslims have done.
