Let us try responding to free speech with free speech if necessary, and show your maturity by offering accurate information. If I learned anything in the West it is this, "sticks and stone will hurt my bones, but words may never harm me." We humans are always subject to slander and libel, and the best thing we can do for ourselves is to develop though skin and correct misconception if possible.

You have been swallowing Arab cultural vanity for far too long.Look,you cannot slander or libel the dead.So one can print a cartoon about Your Mohammed without you going out to kill him.Are you an Arab? Only an African idiot will kill his fellow African in Mali,Nigeria,Niger,etc for the sake of a dead Arab businessman making a grand claim for his "bogus revelation".There were no indigenous English,French, etc Muslims because "Your Arab Allah" did not speak to them in their own language.When the Arab soldiers tried as they did in North Africa all the way to you in northern Ghana,they were soundly beaten by Martel and Sobieski. Mansa Musa spent all his fortune in Egypt and Arabia as a Muslim convert...Now look at Arabia and Dubai beautifully developed by the west for them and look at Mali and Niger? Do they "Arabs" give a damn about the poverty in these countries? NO. Do me a favour? travel to these countries and see how they will treat you.

It's only a good things that sells itself. If your prophet is a model of excellence you wouldn't have to defend him when some idiot insults him. Because he carry so much baggage, which touches on the sensibilities of modern civility that is why you guys get irate when people expose the underbelly of your faith.

How do you defend your prophet marrying a six year old girl and consummating the marriage when she was nine years old. Would you give your nine year old in marriage?
How do you defend Sura 9:5.
And when the sacred months have passed, then kill the polytheists wherever you find them and capture them and besiege them and sit in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they should repent, establish prayer, and give zakah, let them [go] on their way. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. I have just given you two if you defend it I will add more.

You are not serious. I expect you to defend your faith to me without reference to any other faith. The fact is, I don't have any use for them. I said initially about modern sensibilities. Because I wouldn't marry my daughter even at the age 18. And I asked you whether you will give your daughter away at the age of 9 and you chose not to answer me.You wouldn't. Which makes me conclude that it is primitive faith. I am living in the 21st century why should I follow some ignorant primitive tribe that lived in the 7th century.

Your ignorance is suffocation Shaggy. Read history very well. The youngest woman to give birth in history was 5 years, 7 months, 17 days old. Her name is Lina Medina from Peru in the 1950s. 6,7,8 and 9 year old have given birth and in the not too distant past. Therefore you have no issue brother. You are just making noise and not making sense.

Just as much as your comments are nauseating, have you read the said articles very well (seems you deliberately avoided it) the said girls were well over developed than their normal age compared to other girls of the same age in the case of Muhammed it does not state so otherwise it would have been mentioned
not so?

u couldnt v said it better but i dont think the writer is encouraging what happened but he wants some people to see how hypocrite others can be when it comes to religion.

Well said brother.. Hypocrisy is their DNA. The west will never be in peace with us until we become their puppets.

I'm missing the parallel here. Free speach allows for expression of an idea as well as critisism of the idea. But no one commanded that Dan Brown be killed. No one went to Dan Brown's house and killed all its occupants

Because there is law and order in the west. Dan Brown would have been killed by Christians before the west was liberated by the secularists and pagans from the intolerant Christianity.

John Calvin killed Michael Servetus because he wrote against Christian Trinity. Protestants, Catholics and Mormons killed each other until secularism took over by force. Who is fighting isis and other extremist Muslisms? Muslims are fighting their extremists with the help of the west and Christian extremists must also be fought by Christians and preaching of killings of anyone in church must stop.

Thanks

Salman Rusdie's books are well written while Dan Brown's books are not, no comparison there.

People are arrested in the western countries when they ridicule Jewish people and their religion. The west call it hate crime and anti Semitism law is there to prevent any ones right not to respect Jewish people and their religion. The Charlie Magazine cannot draw swastika or paint swastika on a synagogue. That is pure double standards by the west.
