So long as these protesters were peaceful, I can't vilify them. They did not act violently, as did numerous other demonstrators over the film. The movie was trash, and the film maker mislead actors about the content, and their roles within. I share the majority's view that Islam is a backward religion. It represses women, and men too, to a certain extent. It treats women as 2nd class citizens, and holds non Muslims to be "infidels". I saw a "60 Minutes" segment, which was filmed in an Eastern Orthodox seminary, in Turkey. The patriarch showed a document on a cave wall. It bore the hand print of the prophet Mohammed, as he was an illiterate. His hand print endorsed the content of the parchment. It said that no members of other religions should be persecuted, if they could not accept Islam. Other things I have read about Mohammed told how he preached that Islam should be spread by word of mouth, not persecution. If Catholics, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, etc. just could not accept Islam, they were to be left alone! So, Mohammed was a tolerant man, who did not wish any harm to befall those who modern Muslims refer to as "infidels"! I only wish that Mohammed could return to earth, and set the modern Muslim world straight!

We need to repeal the anti-Blasphemy law (and make an anti-prophet for profit film of our own haha.) Stir up the rag-head 5th Column in Ireland, bring them out into the open.

IrelandNorth, they "project" their own weaknesses onto others. That seems to be a theme in the current political story. I wonder what works best to overcome the weakness, imprisoning the object of the weakness in cloth, stoning or the threat of damnation? Maybe a well aimed slap across the face would suffice? If one is prevented from ever dealing with one's weaknesses how can one ever eliminate them. One can never know the strength of the untried rope.

Go to any Muslim land and try out THEIR tolerance for your protests or your religion. Just try it and see what dungeon you wind up in. Been there.

I’m really upset that a few hundred Muslims can take to the streets on my beloved Dublin City to protest against something as simple as free speech. There are plenty of stones on Dublin’s seaside strands. Next time these Muslims plan to take over our streets to protest, I would urge all my fellow Irish citizens to collect and bag these beach stones and line the route that they take and silently stone them.

Maggie47: "Just wait next thing they will want the bars and night clubs closed down, no more irish music". You may have said that in jest, but you're not far wrong. A friend of mine in Ireland told me that an Arab guy living in an apartment near his objected to the fact that my friend had posters of nubile ladies on his wall. As would befit a friend of mine, my man told him to **** himself all the way back to whatever Arabian Middle Age culture he had crawled out of.

Sitting in S[ain]t Stephen's Green (Dublin's Central Park!) earlier in summer, observed a young Muslim couple with the sweetest little 2 yr old baby girl you ever did see. Full of wonder, watching the pidgeons and fountains etc. Sadly, they had her wearing a headscarf at such a young age, repressing her natural spontaneity. And a very unhappy looking mother too! Sad what culture does to humanity.

Travelling into Dublin city yesterday on the LUAS (green line) tram system with my teenage daughter, noticed two young Arab men in rap apparel stealing lustful glances of her. On staring them down until they got off the tram later, couldn't quite get over the projective irony of a culture which hajibs its own women, obviously fearful of the adulterous glaces of men just like themselves.

Hmmm! The Innocence of [Google](?) Me thinks that there be a Judeo-Christian latter day crusade in the offing to nib the theology of mass hysteria in the bud. The Director of this puerile nonsense is a Coptic Christian from Egypt. Is he a lone director, or is he franchising someones hidden agenda? It was a peaceful protest, which like the US is perfectly lawful in Ireland.

"Google has a very clear view on this, which is that we believe the answer to bad speech is more speech.". Yet is a crime to shout fire in a theater. War by Blasphemy game at play - a way to test the waters put primarily to get obamar to focus more on (makes 'em nervous) Iran.
