In Britan we have freedom of speech, you can say pretty much what you want. About anything or anyone (as long as its not slanderous) As soon as anything is mentioned in the press on the news by a politician or whoever, about Islam theres major upset. It could be my misunderstanding, but I thought that religion was based on 'peace', 'love' and 'tolerance' of other religons?

Yes, religion is based on love, peace and tolerance. But when it comes to Islam, mostly people think judgingly. You can talk about Islam and express your ideas, but if it is the Pope talking to the media about his own ideas of Islam and if those ideas are considerable to humiliate Muslims, it is much more than freedom of speech. As it is mentioned before, Muslims are treated as terrorists even though only an exceptional group of Muslims are terrorists. Therefore, the idea of Muslims being terrorists is reflected to other religions, not the other possible idea of Muslims not being terrorists. I live in Turkey, and we deal with terrorists all the time, even before my birth. We are Muslims, but NOT terrorists. If this can be taught to the people who think that Muslims are terrorists, there will be more people knowing the truth, so that they'll not comment ideas against Islam, as long as they know that Muslims are not always terrorists.

The problem is tribal in nature and not religion. Muslims come from tribal backgrounds which demands fialty without question or be outcast from the clan. Even educated muslims have greater loyalty to thier tribal instints, than religion or nation. It's all lbout saving "Face". Rather than admit their philosophy of hate is wrong, they blame everyone and anything else. It's a true saying that "they would rather lose their yashmaks in public than loose their Face".

So would it be OK to slander Jews and Catholics in the media in Britain. Would those group take offense? You bet they would!!!
I am a Muslim and if I am verbally attacked I am taught to just smile and let God take the action. But this is hard for a human being to tolerate. If I saw a Brit tear off a woman's veil I would punch him in the nose just the same if I saw a guy insult or injure a Jew or a Catholic or a black man or an Asian...

All I know is actions speak louder than words. When you have Muslims say they are the religion of peace and then when someone pisses them off they blow em up. It can be assumed that they are lying bastards that are filled with hate and rage and could give two hoots about peace. They can't even get along with the people of their own faith(Sunnis vs. shite etc.). Muslims butcher Muslims every second of every day. But if they say they are the religion of peace I guess it must be true.

Fanatical Islam may not be the same as the Islam in the general population. We need to be entertained, so nothing makes the news unless it is exaggerated.

Religion is supposed to be based on the themes you quote.
and i agree wholeheartedly with that.
And i hope the normal law abiding Muslims will understand that in our "ENGLISH" Christian society it is alien for us to use suicide bombers and murder our own innocent people. we regard Islam with fear and a Evil religion the same as they regard us as infidels. to be honest i would do away with religion altogether because History has shown that most wars have been started in the name of "GOD" .
We will never accept a religion that zealots use the word JIHAD so freely and cause so much unrest . i believe that the islamic faith is a good faith but unless they get the decent law abiding clerics to preach love and understanding and tolerence of other religions its never going to be accepted in the Uk.
Theres not a country in the world with the same tolerence as the UK.
I live in Spain but i go by the Spanish authority and laws wether i agree or not im a guest and so are these people who have in the majority prospered in the uk but as soon as the UK does something they dont like their up in arms.
Isay they are traitors to our country and should be deported not for religion but for enjoying the great rewards of living in the UK.
AND IF THEY CANT ABIDE THE RULE OF THE LAND THEY LIVE IN WELL EASY ANSWER GO BACK TO WHERE THEY ORIGINATED .
BUT THINK ON THIS IF YOU WENT BACK I BET YOU WOULDT BE OUTSPOKEN TO OLD SADDAM WHEN HE MURDERED THOUSANDS OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN.
NO THEY JUST STOOD BY AND EMIGRATED TO BRITAIN WELL WE DIDNT LET THE NAZIS RULE THE WORLD AND BY GOD WE WONT LET THESE TERRORISTD DO SO EITHER.

People of different cultures have different sensibilities & tolerances.

For example, some people are stupid enough to characterize members of a particular religion as "lunatics going mental". Can you believe that?

Muslims get mad because they want may want peace, but non-Muslims are considered lesser and don't have the same rights. Hence the term, "Infidels". The only freedom of speech they want is their own and to speak against Muhammed or Allah is a punishable offence.

It is because of the present situation world wide and general unease about the topic. Just like in the US, race is still a very uneasy topic. Black comedians can make fun of white people, but not vice versa. It is simply the mass population that is unsure of how to deal with a touchy subject, so to them, not saying anything is safer.
