Signed the petition, not that it will do anything
![]() It's terrible that Islam puts itself on a pedestal as being forthcoming and accepting of others - yet when it comes to the crunch many aspects of Islam can't handle freedom of speech. |

it really aint about freedom of speech, im from the middle east.
and they use Islam in Politics, hence why in different countries Islam is different, compare Saudi Arabia to Lebanon, Iran to Turkey They use Islam to potray that they are the leaders of the middle eastern people. Yet when this comes to Britain, filtered through Jewish owned media... secondly its culture. pakistan even tho its islamic, is part of the south asian community, i mean you never here about how oppressed the hindu females are, for example i read on digg.com from a source, that woman in india were bein thrown in the cooker for not listening to there mother in laws. Its society and so on. By the way im not trying to generalise. |

Islam is used as propaganda to show whos boss, the more RADICAL you are, the more power you can exude to infleunce terrorism and soooo on. ITS ALL POLITICS AS AN INDIVIDUAL BEING A MUSLIM, i and many (the ones that are not on your TV screens 24/7) dont give a **** what people say to provoke anger. |

I was simply claiming that in predominantly Islamic countries the freedom of speech of non-Islamics is often stifled. And I didn't say Muslims were monsters, so please, don't put words in my mouth. |

Okay, I apologise for not showing my equal distaste for the Western World and it's values. I equally dislike Bush and his Republican Christian cronies - but I didn't mention this in my post because I was focusing on Islamic countries in my post.
I disagree with the fact Bush uses Christianity to wage war, but equally I disagree how people growing up in Islamic countries are reprimanded for accepting other religions REGARDLESS of politics. |

places like somalia is below 3rd world. probably dont, as they are in some sort of social, democratic, political nightmare. yet places like Bosnia, were ethnic cleansing took place to kill thousands of muslims. The west didnt do nothing for a long time. In attempt to wipe a muslim country off Europe... I dont mean this in a bad way, but i really suggest visiting http://www.aljazeera.com - It truly is the most un-biased network, it shows bad points from "both sides". |

Edit: And about Bosnia... I agree with you. The west ignore deaths of thousands/millions of Muslims. Edit2: I've also watched Al Jazeera in the past, before the Western media censored it from our TV's. |

I was trying to say that there are christians in those countries. But they use these hard line laws, in terms of psycologic politics. Especially, in the middle east, and trust me there when I tell you HOW SENSATIVE MIDDLE EASTERN POLITICS IS, WHEN IT COMES TO POLITICS AND MIDDLE-EASTERN PEOPLE. POLITICS IS LITERALLY THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN SAVE YOUR ASS, ESPECIALLY WHEN ISRAEL IS TRYING TO INVADE EVER COUNTRY NEARBY, AND CLAIM ITS "HOLY LAND"
e.g. Portugal's Laws about abortion are harming politics there, becuase the countries is so cathlic. My point was not about "Muslims" in general like you said, completly disallowing freedom of speech. My thought is that, there are different religouns in these muslim countries, but suppressed freedom of speech is not ABOUT ISLAM, western media would like you to think that becuase of the war and the need to grow to hate islam. Rather its about hard line security to psychology of the matter of the state. e.g. China is against freedom of speech becuase it doesnt want penetrating west to claim its land..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT STILL HAS CHRISTIANS!!!!!!!!!!! ITS ALL ABOUT POLITICS - WHICH IS HOW THE WEST GET AWAY WITH ILLEGAL WARS p.s. im not trying to be agreesive here, sorry if i have, its just your the millionth person, iv shown my point of view to. no offence completly. |

Leaders, from Saddam, to Saudi Arabian Kings, to Bush dislike Al Jazeera, becuase it shows bad point about every single issue. Just becuase it took a non-western oil rich country to pluck up the couriage, doesnt mean its gonna be biased, this is where the west and other places differ. I repeat people from Saddam to Bush both sides of the end hated Al Jazeera for exploting and potraying to the world there no-goods, so how can you label it a biased network. i can understand why the BBC(guess who owns it, with what war is going on) would say it is. why has the US blocked Al-Jazeera English (which has less violent images*an excuse to show the world how evil Al Jazeera is, YET WE ALL SEE THE SAME IMAGES IN HOLLYWOOD MOVIES*) when the UK which is know to be much more liberated than the US allowed to show it. |

Sky used to show the original arabic Al Jazeera until around 2006 when suddenly they changed it to Al Jazeera England that unlike it's previous channel - showed a biased perspective and didn't portray realistic events in the arab world because the Western World are blind to the damage they're doing to other countries. |

I really dont think you've seen Al-Jazeera English's programmes, have you seen "The Listening Post" it critises both ends, of the media, and "Inside Iraq" critises actions from both ends. There journalism is far. far more liberated than the BBC and ESPECIALLY FOX!! Its won numerous International AWARDS. Unlike the BBC where it has BEEN INTERNATIONALLY CRITISED FOR ITS BIASED ISSUE WITH PALESTINE!!! so ... its your opinion anyway |

I think you misunderstood my post. I meant it's watered down and biased because it doesn't show the harsh images that Al Jazeera shows - and I think the British public should see the damage they're doing to Muslim countries.
I don't agree with the BBC or FOX news? |
