Ah well, then it's ok.

In the distant past Christianity used to be backward and repressive. Therefore, it's OK for Islam to be like that now. Errrr, OK.

Never said its "ok" now or was then.

Just think the Xians get on their high horses very often talkin' bout how violent Islam is when they really shouldn't.

Heck, its all the Jews' fault anyway, for inventing monotheism. Or maybe that one Egyptian Pharaoh who tried to convert the nation to monotheism (before the Jews).

Either way, monotheism is kinda mean-thats all I'm sayin'

Splitter.

The point being as mentioned is that this was common in Christianity a couple of hundred years ago. Agreed, but we are not living in the 15th century.
Judaism and Christianity have moved on. Islam is still stuck in the 7th century.
That's why the teen was jailed.

When last was someone convicted of trashing Judaism or Christianity? I can go to Israel and trash Judaism. I will not be convicted, that's for sure.

Try to go to an Ultra Orthodox neighborhood, with a woman dressed like they do here in Taiwan and you may get stones thrown at you.

Go to the deep south of the US and start calling Jesus a 'fag'. Lets see how long you last.

Why would you call Jesus a cigarette?
Besides not all Muslims are that bad. I have two gay Muslim friends. One is called Isak (I -suk) and the other Ismail (I-smile)

Confuzius, my point is that in Israel, a Jewish state, it is not against the law if you criticize Judaism. As far as I know, it is not against the law in the deep south to call Jesus a fag.
I also know that in Israel, those crazy ultra orthodox Jews will get prosecuted if they stone someone. Not sure when they last stoned someone other than John Cleese?
They usually revert to less lethal measures like spitting, which also results in prosecution.
