offending a religion for no reason is not equal to pissing someone off. i doubt you will be responsible for any judgement with that level of intellect.


Offending a religion is just pissing a bunch of people off. So instead of one person that needs to grow up its a whole bunch of them.

Difference in degree, not in kind.


your value of a bunch of people is amazing.


You really should learn how free and open societies work. Here's Hans Teeuwen, dutch comedian, explaining it to a few of your fellow muslims: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNBnZsbAWGo

(English subtitles are available, click on 'captions' option.)


free and open, thats comedy by itself. you are the comedian sir.


Offence is taken, not given. Religious people choose to take offence. They literally don't have to take offence if they don't want to. In doing so, they validate who ever they chose to be offended by, which ironically weakens their religion and themselves personally.


a synonym to offense is attack. an attack is taken not given doesnt make sense.
