What good do you think will come from this FB group? Do you think it will improve matters? It won't. All it will do is further inflame relations between us and Muslims.

Some may say the creator of this group had no malicious intent, but I think either that's not true or the creator didn't think through the consequences of his actions enough.
You guys really don't understand this do you? And I find that a real shame. When the Danish cartoonist published images he created of Mohammed the following happened....

This led to protests across the Muslim world, some of which escalated into violence with police firing on the crowds (resulting in a total of more than 100 deaths),[1] including setting fire to the Danish Embassies in Syria, Lebanon and Iran, storming European buildings, and desecrating the Danish, Dutch, Norwegian, French and German flags in Gaza City. Now for me, I find that kind of reaction absolutely over the top. What happened that day was non-muslims were sent a message that was basically 'create an image of our prophet and we will attack you'.

Personally I think that is fundamentally wrong. That facebook group was 2 fingers up to this kind of censorship and I for one am all for it.

The worst thing we can do is pander to these looney's needs.
