anyone they name battleships after can't be all wrong. agree 100%.

We need to all start drawing cartoons of Mohammed and let them take their best shot. Then it will be our turn.

Since it is obviously inconceivable that all religions can be right, the most reasonable conclusion is that they are all wrong.”

What they planned should be done to them and then feed their dead carcus to animals.

you can forget about long sentences.this is after all, sweden.

@ Relly -

you can forget about long sentences.this is after all, sweden.

Yeah that thought did cross my mind, but you should never loose hope....

Why don't you give us some facts to back up your racist claims? Islam is a religion of peace. When zealots of any religion, twist (or interpret) the words of their religion to fit with their twisted views, this is what happens. Look at the idiots of Westboro Baptist Church. Do they get free "zobama health plan" too? Every first world country except America, has universal health care. Also, we have implemented it in almost every country that "we" (US) has invaded. It would be great to stop invading and destroying other countries and implement universal health care at home, where it is sorely needed. People before profits!

Go OWS!

ALL religions are poisonous.

Art you have no idea what you are talking about. Take your hatred somewhere else where nonsense is king.

What the hell does this story have to do with universal health care?

Yes I agree that the Westboro Church is coocoo. But you need to understand one thing. Universal Health Care is NOT a good thing. When they are paying 60-70% tax in order to have it. Sorry but this is a FACT also to let you know a friend had a heart attack while we were on vacation in Rome. He was put in a ward where there were 16 beds and one nurse...We had to go get water for him. Also he was never seen by a Dr. So we had him transferred to the Vatican Hospital (non-government facility) where he had good care. Need I say more about UNIVERSAL HEALTH (not so good) CARE?

The god of israel is just as violent and sick or even more so. If you dont beleive me "brother" go read the book Im sure you claim to follow

Nita, your take on Universal Health Care is foolish and uninformed. No one, anywhere, is taxed at anything close to 70%, read up before you spout your nonsense. No one ever said Health Care is free, what planet are you from anyway? What we know for certain is that citizens of nations with health care for all, (a very democratic principle), live longer, healthier lives than we do. Infant mortality is lower. And they spend far less on health care as a % of GDP than we do. Get your facts straight, your ignorance feeds the same vacuous fear mongering the GOP is infamous for.

Art - your artistry of creating hate is exemplary. You need to catapulted to Kepler-22. Don't blame the unseen God (let us know when you've seen yours). Blame the priests, mullahs, rabbis and the rest of mankind for inability to play with fire. Show me one religion (psychological trance) that has not experienced violence - hate to say Christianity being at the top. But who's counting. The sooner the 'Art's of thos earth are transported to Kepler-22, the sooner we can all live in peace.

Look at the headlines of the day from the Middle East. In Iraq you see Muslims slaughtering other Muslims simply because they practice their faith slightly differently.

These crazies consider them not to be true Muslims which apparently makes them fair game for any atrocity. Anyone that thinks the cult of the moon god isn't violent and barbaric is deluding themselves, and their followers are coming for us eventually, which is just as soon as their population in this country is great enough. Don't think so? Just look at France.

Kel- you're an idiot. Go to Canada if you want the government to provide everything for you.

Thank God or whoever for President Obama getting Bin Laden and the drone strikes which continue too this day, you know a Teabagger wouldn't have the guts he has to keep Americans safe. Most of them never even served in the military.

Agree 100% Wet Willy.

Yeah MD - It is sure a religion of peace, and its obvious no? As for being racist, FYI- Islam is not a religion it is an alleged Religion/Cult. And there is nothing peaceful about it, yes there are nuts on each side of the religious fence but really are you going to compare a couple of dozen idiots form the baptist church to the Millions and Millions that follow Islam? Or let me guess you are going to bring up the crusades that occurred 1,000 years ago and compare it to Christianity as well right?

No other religion breeds the violence, hatred, abuse, and complete and total lack of tolerance that Islam does, the sooner you get your head out of the sand the better. If it is a peaceful religion then explain the European crisis and the immigration of these folks into some of the most tolerant and open countries in the world, and are there simply not to blend in, but to ruin the countries and have them see the light of this faux cult. Sweden and Norway to pick 2 of the bunch, nto to mention, Germany, Russia, Greece, France, Spain, and every other country there. I know of no other religion that teaches violence and murder as a way to progress their agenda PERIOD. Islam is evil and is truly the new wave of the Nazism in the world, and if you do not agree with their view you will be killed. Has anyone see any murders due to the defamation of a picture of Christ, BUddah? Anyone?

yes; what the hell does health care have to do with this article?? remember its about 3 islam turds trying to kill a artist. now, are they people of peace: not a chance in h@@@. these people are thugs and killers trying to make a name for themselves. there will never be peace with people using islam as crunch as an excuse to do violence. now, if that was the case i would be out blowing away every dark skin national in the name of the holy book.

hope you meet your true folling in prison!

SEMPER FI

DANNY P

ART- Well said and all these freaks in here clamering for hatred and racism truly haev their heads buried in the sand. Sweden, Malmo, Spain, France, UK- all have areas that are simply no go zones and if you are not Muslim you are not welcomed period. The cops wont go in the fire department will not go in, once they have enough of the population in control they take over, plain and simple and Europe is way ahead of us in this matter. This is why Europe is passing all these laws and being much less sympathetic to this call for civility among these animals. Plain and simple, and I know of no religion that preaches killing your kids or family for dis honoring them, and there are thousands of these instances each year, WAKE UP BLIND FOLK>

Polyscidude 2.11

You realize Obama with the drone strikes is simply continuing Bush’s strategy, don’t you?

@MD why dont you go an OWS? It would be better for all of us, then we wouldnt have to read the stinky stuff your throw onto these threads. Really? Get a clue, do some research and then go live the reality because you obviously have never been overseas where the proof is in front of you, constantly. Sad so sad

Kind of makes a hell of a lot of sense does it not?

They can't drive worth a crap either!!!

You two are living in the shallow end of the gene pool.

BBG, insults only come with the realization you can't back your argument up with reasonable cause. Don't sell yourself short, take that "accountability ball" and run with it!

@BBG

When you attempt to compare radical christians to radical muslims...you get what you deserve b/c you are a fool.

Nah, I'm a realist.

Radicalism is stupid wherever it raises its ugly head. Some are in your face others are just as bad but subtle.

what of the christians whom protest for pro-life,the ones whom boycott the funerals of fallen service personnel? the christens whom say the koran should be burned! is this better than islam,no. now, don't take this wrong,but we as country have our own bag of nuts here. now, i do believe these are only few loose screws here that believe anything people tell them.

What do you mean the USA is next? We have already been invaded...not so much by the Muslims, but by the Mexicans! You can't go into any store in my hometown and not hear somebody rambling in Spanish and see all the signs in the store written in English and Spanish. Unless Obummer does something about the immigration problem here we are going to be really screwed!

Obama isn't going to do anything about it. he's trying to give them all amnesty

You dont read much do you. Obama has deported more illegals in his term than Bush did in his two and the amnesty king is Newt Gingrich not Obama.

Funny, but they said the very same things about the Italians, Irish, and Germans in the late Nineteenth and early Twentieth Centuries! Maybe you people posting here are the descendents of Ellis Island immigrants, and if you are then your statements are hypocritical.

Jim Potter.....you are wrong, Ellis Island immigrants came here legally.......

Whether they came here legally or illegally is not the point. The Ellis Island immigrants got their share of prejudice when they got here, putting up with the "wop" or "dago" insults and seeing "Irish need not apply" signs everywhere.

Jim, I disagree in your assessment, because times change and the case happens to be that Italian, Irish and German immigrants in the Nineteenth and early Twentieth Centuries came to America by legitimate means with proper documentation. They took pride in their new home by adhering to the laws and customs of the times. There was discrimination, sure, and there were criminals in the bunch, absolutely, but the majority of immigrants from this time period were hard-working, honest people.

I do have room to admit that perhaps history has looked especially kindly on these people in these times, but on the whole, immigration in the United States is very different than it once was.

What concerns many Americans today is the large number of illegal immigrants crossing the Southern border who do not adhere to the language, customs, or laws of the land, benefitting from social welfare programs paid for by citizens while contributing nothing to the system. To many, this constitutes an invasion.

Ed, I don't know if you'll be reading this - I am posting a little late, for which I apologize - but I must say that your post was very intelligently presented. It's the rare post in these forums that are not full of vitriol and hateful statements. Thank you, sir, for such a well thought-out post.

except you'll find most Christian cases in the history books, not the current news.

How so dude?

All the more reason why I'm agnostic. Those with extreme thoughts--including YOU--will always find a reason to slaughter those who disagree with them, and the hyperbole of your statements is typical. Soooooo typical. And the difference between your earlier statements about radical Christianity (or extremists of any other religion besides Islam) is too obvious to need rebuttal. Name the last time a Christian/Jew/Buddhist/Hindu/Shintoist/Wiccan/etc. suicide bomber blew him/herself up in the middle of a group of women and children for no purpose other than to butcher those whose only sin was not believing exactly the same as the bomber. Your arguments lack logic, rationality and any basis in fact. The parallel excesses of radical Christianity stopped centuries ago--what's happening in radical Islam is going on TODAY.

Timmy the geek....tell it like it is!!

And you too Agdoc! Right on.

BBG....you sound like a very angry person....as a Christian, I pray that you will find peace in your life, and I will keep you in my prayers...GOD BLESS, and have a Merry Christmas

When I see Christians blowing up abortion clinics, I think it is really sad.

@BBG....you sound like a very sad, angry person....I Pray that you will find peace and love and will keep you always in my prayers. God Bless You and have a Very Merry CHRISTmas.

:O Holy crap no way! That's insane. How could they ruin such a fun game :(

Rationalizing murder insults their religion more than any cartoonist can.

well, don't we also rationalize murders we commit in Afghanistan and Iraq in the name of democracy and freedom? don't we say it's ok for the sake of greater good? is that an insult to democracy and freedom? you just need to see things from all angles. what you think is justifiable is not justifiable to everyone. same goes for them, what they justify may not be what you justify. insulting someone's religion is pretty bad idea. how would you feel if someone draws your father or a mother as a dog? it hurts doesn't it. I think that bad people get what they deserve, like the artist got a life full of fear and these 3 will go to jail. if you don't insult people you have nothing to worry about.

how would you feel if someone draws your father or a mother as a dog? it hurts doesn't it.

I would laugh and my parents would tell me to ignore the artist, even to pray for them. But that's just our crazy religious beliefs at work.

Florida84.. so lets see if I have this right. Freedom of expression stops where it becomes insulting? Expression should be limited only to those words that don't offend others? If one exercises that right,and it offends you, you have the right..no the duty... to threaten them with bodily harm and death? And in Florida, that's considered just and right.

I'm unsurprised at your stunted thinking. It seems to be prevelant in the south.

Here's a thought... phuck your mother, Muhammed, and phuck jesus, infact..let them phuck eachother. Hurt's does it? Awww...
Now.. what? Fatwa? Jihad? Crusade? Inquisition?

I suppose with that the 12 Apostles should have become the Justice League and kicked eveyone's butt?

@ bart

your last sentence just proved how immature you are. However, we do have numerous restrictions on expression, remember the "hate speech"? anti-defamation? all over europe there are many restrictions, such as wearing religious symbols, drawing swastikas, etc. if I am walking down the streat insulting people's beliefs I would expect to be punched or even killed. should I blame others for that? or blame myself for being such a stupid person?

florida--yes, and our "restrictions" on hate speech and defamation call for legal action; those committing such offenses are charged in a court of law, face prosection and if convicted are punished with fines or jail terms. What DOESN'T happen is private citizens being given the right to hunt them down and murder them. Big difference. HUGE. In fact, if that does happen, the perpetrators are then prosecuted for a much worse crime, just as these idiots are going to be. What part of this don't you get? Muslims no more have the right to ignore civil/criminal law and commit crimes--especially capital crimes--in the name of their "religion" than you or I do. And if you're walking down the street insulting other peoples' beliefs you expect to be...killed??? Speaks volumes about your personal beliefs. How wonderfully tolerant of you.

@florida84,

Your attempt to justify the thugs mentioned in this article makes me cringe. You need to stand up to this barbaric thinking...not condone it.

Your logic is the same as when after 9-11 some leaders had the balls to say..."we had that coming". SAVE IT!

Florida,

I guess we should get rid of South Park, they make fun of Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, Catholics, etc. As I recall, they were going to make a show about Islam, but decided not to because they would have to "draw" mohammed. A radio show that I listen to makes fun of Christian religions (while the host is also a Christian). Also, SNL, Late Night (like Leno, Letterman, etc.) should be banned as well. I'm sure that there are people on those shows that have made fun of many people, including the muslim religion.

You are completely off base. I believe that humor is one of the best tools in overcoming religious/political differences that divide so many of us.

The guys that committed murder are the only ones that actually committed a crime. We don't know exactly what the intentions were of the guy that drew the prophet mohammed, but we know what the murderers intentions were.

What's the difference between defamation and drawing someone's prophet as a dog? isn't that defamation as well? in england, you are not allowed to insult anglican church (state church for that matter) publically, but you can insult any other religion. is that equality? in norway and denmark, king has to be a lutheran!!! and the state religion is lutheranism!!!! how the hell is this different from iran? where is equality in all these countries? humor is a one thing but drawing someone's prophet as a dog is too much and very bad taste. I cannot justify or comprehend what this "artist" tried to do.

I agree that it was in poor taste, but isn't it in poor taste to make fun of a christian religion as well? Or is that allowed? As for the whole state religion, sure Norway and Denmark may have a state religion, but they allow other religions to practice there freely. They don't murder Catholics there. Muslims are allowed to worship there.

The same could be said for most of the latin american countries. Their religion is Catholic, yet people are free to decide for themselves without peril of losing their lives to the state. Iran is Muslim and you are free to worship how you choose, but you risk losing your life for what you believe in. Just look at the coptic Christians in Egypt. They were killed.

wow. what a hateful comment. and you get to call someone else intolerant? amazing. what an insult on human intelligence.

The difference is I didn't claim to be tolerant of these animals. But they constantly preach the lie of tolerance in islam. The fact is I own a business that employs 70 people. And NOT ONE is muslim or middle eastern. Coincidence? Sure. And by the way, being that the business is in Florida, I am happy that florida84 doesn't work for me either.

I am happy about that too. I would not like to work for such a hateful person.

You couldn't qualify. I don't hire imbeciles. And by the way, you pansy, I finished two tours in Vietnam before you were born. Which begs the question, where did you serve? And by "serve" we don't count super sizing the order at your drive thru window. You wouldn't have the guts to live in an environment where you have to "man-up" every single day. Now run along home. You don't have the intellect or the courage to play at the big boys table.

trex, are you, seriously, bragging about serving in Vietnan? How sad. You participated in the slaughter of 2 million innocent Vietnam citizens, a nation that never raised a finger against us. Yet we invaded based upon the proven PHONY Tonkin Gulf Incident, an event that never happened, and went on to do our best to destroy a 3rd world nation. Seriously, are you proud of what we did to the Vietnamese? If so, you're no better than the murdering psychotic fringe muslim fanatics. How many Vietnamese women, children, grandparents, etc., etc. were incinerated with Napalm? Too many to count. Guess when the US slaughters civilians, it's OK with you. I am ashamed of what we did to that nation, and if that makes me a pansy, I am proud to be called that by the likes of you. You served, allright, served a heaping portion of misery on an innocent people.

Be VERY thankful for the anonymity afforded you on this forum. Malign the veterans of this country who served proudly so that cowards like you could hide in the shadows, and you will find your direst expectations fulfilled tenfold. Think of the embarrassment of suffering a whoopin' from a 62 year old man. That alone would require you to spend years in therapy just to get over it. You are an insignificant pusillanimous little pissant. Now run on home to your mommy.

When I read the headline, I thought the article was going to be about some "Yuppies," attempting to kill an artist so their paintings would appreciate in value, due to the economic problems around the world.

I'm referring to the original headline "3 charged in plot to kill artist," not the "3 charged in Muhammad cartoonist murder plot."

I can see your comment being an insult to the mankind.

Mankind is an insult to itself.

"... to 'the' mankind." I can see your very existence being detrimental to the average IQ of your state.

@ Bart

Is that all you had to say? just to insult? well, thanks and have a good day.

I find the comment to be SPOT on. Ironically Muslims treat dogs better then women, (a little fyi for the uninformed).

@florida84.....still defending these barbarians I see. Here's an idea...pack your bags and move over to Iran. Put your money where your mouth is. Or would you rather armchair QB it from the comfort of your home in the FREE land of the USA.

just because I am against insults of other people's beliefs I am a bad person and I need to move to Iran?

just because I am against insults of other people's beliefs I am a bad person and I need to move to Iran?

florida84....my point is if you're goig to stick up for such a horrible group of people and beliefs. Why not just join them? Defending these people's beliefs is NOT right. Are you a Nazi sympathizer also?

Is there a wonder why the world, the ENTIRE world, has but one view of Americans and that view is, ignorance?

So our view of them is based on their most ignorant members and their view of us is based on our most ignorant members but somehow they're better than us?

@RasLife,

This is the pot calling the kettle black...can you hear me? Where by chance do you live?

Is there a wonder why the world, the ENTIRE world, has but one view of Americans and that view is, ignorance?

I could give a rat's arse what they think. This isn't a popularity contest. Of course these people you speak of can't immigrate into the USA fast enough. More hypocrisy.

It's amazing what keeping people poor and stupid can accomplish!

Now, back to the Kardashians!
