So call him a bigot and not a racist, get the terms right next time.

The point was made and its equally valid.

Define race. All of humanity is the same species so "race" can be a bit of a misnomer. The sentiment is the same.

Most of humantiy defines it as different skin color or ethnicity.

This struggle will not be won by arms, but in the ideological field.

We refuse to renounce our critical spirit out of fear of being accused of "Islamophobia", a wretched concept that confuses criticism of Islam as a religion and stigmatisation of those who believe in it.

Difference of religion is far stronger then difference of skin colour or ethnicity.

Stronger?? It's a CHOICE. Skin colour and ethnicity are not.

not always... say in case of Jews religion is not a choice, if they abandon the religion or get converted they are not Jews anymore, well... for the other Jews at least.
But in those cases religion IS a CHOICE the difference of it IS stronger cause it leads to the clash of different consciously chosen paradigma

Religion is a choice. Ethinicity is not. End of story. Ethinicity is a stronger.

i like the way you discussing! no arguments, no trying to understand what other people say, and what you say is true whatsoever, everybody just shut up! bravo!

"If I were a picture editor, I would have only published one of the cartoons: the one where Mohammed says that there are no more virgins left, as it is the only one with a punchline. That said, the minute there was violence, the cartoons were no longer the story - the violence became the story. Once there was violence, we had an obligation to demonstrate that we are not fearful. The only way to do that was to repeat the act, which meant republishing the cartoons. What under other circumstances would have been rude became required."



"What we need are Muslim leaders who will stand up and say that it is okay for Islam to be lampooned, that in a free society everyone agrees to take their lumps and that Muslims will take theirs. Instead, what we have are leaders saying that Islam should be exempted from ridicule. In a free society there can be no no-go areas; without freedom of expression there are no other freedoms.'"



"The Suffi mystical tradition in Kashmir and the Shia miniature portrait tradition in Iran are the two greatest traditions in Islamic art, both of which have represented the prophet. To say that there is a prohibition on representing the prophet is a lie - and many in the West unthinkingly accepted it as the truth."



"One of the most controversial of the Danish cartoons, the one where 'Mohammed' has a bomb in his hat is not even a representation of Mohammed. The face of that cartoon is that of the most radical Muslim cleric in Denmark - the one that toured the Middle-East displaying the cartoons. Further, in Denmark there is a saying 'may an apple fall into your hat' which means good luck; 'may a bomb fall into your hat' is fairly self-explanatory in this context, a context that would have been immediately evident to people in Denmark. If we had been able to have an honest discussion about the cartoons, facts such as these would have come out - the violence precluded that possibility."
