As pointed out on the thread it was attacking the beliefs of an entire religion, not just Al Quaeda.

I'm pretty sure we have a most religions represented on here, so we should respect them (even if you don't agree with them).

Thanks,

Chris.

My religion is based on the fundemental disrespect of other religions. By denying me the ability to disrespect other religions you are disrespecting my religion..

ChrisB - I simply asked if it was that thread that was removed, did I complain ONCE? I genuinely didnt know it was that thread!! I do not like your attitude as if I meant someone harm!! I DIDNT!!

The joke (in my opinion) was very funny - if the MODS decide to remove it then OK, I respect that. It WAS NOT a **** take of another religion at all!! It was a mockery of the English Male if anything!!

However much I appreciate the MODS and SIMON I would suggest that the deletion of that was overkill - just IMHO

And who the hell are you to censor it just because it doesn't conform with your (and for that matter my own) beliefs?

He is the Moderator - I dont think ChrisB is a power crazy MOD - in his defence, he will have obtained the support from all the other mods and Simon before he deleted it. I dont agree with whats happened, BUT it would not have been a single act by ChrisB - as that wouldnt have been right. So, we need to live with it .... take the mickey out of them by all means - but dont forget they have a job to do!

Its the way that ChrisB assumes I KNEW why it had been deleted and the assumption that I dont care about other peoples beliefs that DICKS ME RIGHT OFF!!

I do agree with ChrisB in removing the thread if it started to attack an entire religion, BUT can i just point out that Al-Quaeda and certain members of the Islam religion believe that every other religon is inferior and either attack or completely disrespect other people and country's religions. Treat others as you would like to be treated i think is what certain Islamic followers should take into account..... If they don't respect Christianity and other non-islamic religons then they don't reserve any back.

I am in no way an expert on this subject, so excuse me if i have any facts wrong in the above rant Peace, and have a nice day

Islam is a world religion, It doesn't recognise geographical borders, Their aim is simply to convert all to their way of thinking (a bit like all the other religions really).
We are just infidels (nonbelievers). The problem with the religion isn't the teachings, its the way its interpreted and used to manipulate to populations (who live within the geographical borders). No different to other countries really 'God Bless America'.
Turn the argument on its head and see it from the other side, We aren't all that different after all (even if our skin colour is).

Even Phoney Toney uses it from time to time and the Queen (Anglican) is defender of the faith (Catholic) which Henry VIII was awarded by the Pope, before he destroyed the Catholic religion in this country.

Me, i'm agnostic, **** em all

Lets get this straight - my joke as posted DID NOT attack a religion at all. I was NOT around to see how the thread developed, it may have taken a turn I was not expecting, I did not keep any tab on it at all. BUT, if the reason it was deleted was because of my original joke then I am TOTALLY GOBSMACKED and VERY disappointed. As I said, I havent any idea if the thread went along an attacking route or not.

Pete

Edited, excited mis-spelling!

It amazes me that 80 - 90% of war, genocide, terrorist attacks etc are because of religion.

How gullible are people to put that much faith in age old 'fairy tales' and complete fiction probably written by some old geezer who'd lost his marbles, living in a shack on the side of a mountain FFS!!!

Call me an atheist, infidel, heathen, whatever you like, I couldnt give a monkeys toss TBH

Those old geezers have a lot to answer for...

All religions think that the other religions are inferior. This is the basic problem of religion:
AXIOM: If you do not believe our religion, you will go to hell (or its equivalent)
FACT: There is more than one religion
CONCLUSION: Everyone is going to hell

If it was a straight forward attack upon a religion, in bad taste, than I would see 'some' reason for deletion - it wasnt, so why the deletion? still puzzles me? still not had a satisfactory answer either (not that I 'should' get one) its just courtesy?
