Some fair comments , however im not stupid and it depends on how you define stupid , im not interesred in religion as imo it causes the majority of the problems in the world along with greed and the two often go hand in hand , am i as stupid as those idiots in London protesting evil or those idiots rioting over a cartoon ??
This again shows your ignorance. If people are willing to go to such lengths over cartoons, then don't you think you should ask why they are oing this? I'm not saying like it or join it, but you could at least look at it objectively with arguments/evidence from both sides.
Let me put it this way, for this particular case. Say I insult your mother. Your going to be upset and angry over this. But to me, who the hell is your mother? If I was like you, I couldn't care less and would think your being an idiot for getting angry over some woman who's a nobody. But in reality you would have every right to get angry because your mother has great value to you, maybe not to others but to you. This is maybe becuase you belong to the same family, there is a special bond, etc.
Now take that train of though and apply it to the cartoons and religion. A lot of religions hold certain people higher than others, these people are special, like your mother is to you. Therefore if someone insults them the 'family' is going to get upset and angry. Now take into consideration that this is not over worldly matters, but over religious matters. God (Allah and any other name people know Him by) and religion are more important than anything on this world (I'm not saying agree with this, just understand). Think how angry you would be then? You obviously don't acknowledge this because you, personally, don't place value on the religion, its prophets, etc like some people would place no value on your family. But you have to understand there are people out there you do place value on their religion, as you do to your mother (I'm using her as an example, don't reply with "I hate her anyway".

i take people on who they are and not what they believe , but if religion shapes people into who they are and its good then great , but im attacking and questioning those that are not good people and who want to kill people in the name of religion , i do not need to read up on this as its happening in my country and others and i dont like it , religion is not always good and its not always right as stated by some and many people on here look at things through rose tinted glasses , only seeing what they want to see and passing comment when they feel Muslims are being attacked but fail to see why they are being attacked . Maybe if those dickheads in London and beyond read up on how to live peacefuly in the country they are lucky to live in and learned to embrace another countrys beliefs and customs instead of demandind that their own be heard and then none of this would be happening , this country especialy bends over backwards to accomadate other religions and beliefs and this is the thanks it gets .
You're asking others to learn and ask why things happen, but you refuse to do the same. You say you don't have to read up on anything because it's all around you. But where do you get your information from if you're not going out and finding it for yourself? If its the media, then that's just one side of the story because the media mostly reports on the negative aspects of life (that goes for everything, not just religion). If you get your information from friends, who the hell are they? I presume they're not scholars of any kind? Or are they well educated and well informed people? No? So they're average Joe's, like you, who are fed negative reports from the press and other media. You only get one side of the story, therefore YOU are also one who sees things through tinted specs, YOU are the one who has a narrow, single tracked mind and yet you ask OTHERS to educate themselves. With all due respect you can't comment on any of this as your opinion carries little or no weight. Most, if not all of your responses have been prejudice, ignorant and at least border on religious hatred. If this is how the rest of your opinions are formed I suggest you live in a remote part of the countryside somewhere, do not breed and do not pass on your opinion to anyone else. You are the one that is not fit to live in a civilised society.
