  1. I could check it out sometime though I am preoccupied with another book on Islam at the moment. It's really sad how underappreciated Islam is in the western world and yet certain portions of the Islamic community continues to segregate themselves from the rest of the world and sinks further and further into fundamentalism, making it even more difficult for people to discover the beauty and loftiness behind this wonderful religion.
  2. A good question to ask the protesters would be what Muhammad would have done? You think he would even get slightly agitated at a few caricatures of himself? He even forgave those who slaughtered his friends and followers and tried to murder him. Any violent protester who even utters his name on the streets is a complete disgrace to the Prophet and his teachings of love, peace and forgiveness.
  3. Just saw Jet Li's Fearless (or Huo Yuan Jia), his final martial arts film before retirement. Kung-fu lovers should check it out. Definitely one of his better works.
  4. Does it involve removal of clothing and lots of mud?
  5. Play the mod to find out! :D (My guess is that she (or he) is slightly psychotic...)
  6. In this case, even if there is an apology, it has become the result due to political pressure and threat of violence and therefore not sincere at all. If the cartoonists caricatured the Prophet without the prior knowledge that it's a great offense to Islam, they probably should apologize as it would be human decency. When you caused another group unintentional harm, you apologize. Heck, we even apologize when stepping on other people's foot in the subway. But when he then sticks a knife in your gut, things tend to change a bit.
  7. He's going to have a tough time topping his performance as Maximus and judging from Riddley Scott's later efforts, he really got lucky with Russel back then.
  8. At least not all Muslims decided to chase down tourists in hotels.
  9. Perhaps it would be good for religious communities to purchase the rights to the images of their prophets and then they could pursue legal actions when they are being misused. No?
  10. It just didn't suit my taste. Also I doubt any blondes are going to enjoy it either.
  11. Freedom of press cannot cross the line of morality. The violent reactions from angry Muslims are certainly condemnable but that doesn't make the act of insulting other people's prophets any more justifiable.
  12. How utterly disappointing! The joke is offensive and isn't funny at all and you have to click like 50 times to actually see it. Shame on you!
  13. You mean like Fabio-sexy?
  14. My preference exactly. Wait, aren't you a gal? So you like the hippie look?
  15. Been there. Done that. I am after fresh blood these days.
  16. Me thinks a somebody is still better than a nobody. *wink*wink*
  17. Ask the gay guy. He'd know.
  18. Wow. Mothie has turned into tombs royalty somehow. <_< Jealousy is brewing over here...
  19. I think Kor's probably right. You don't see a woman grabbing another woman's breasts and act it's all normal, do you? He's definitely a perv.
  20. Congrats. Your friend does a nice Jack Nicholson impersonation.
  21. Hard to choose. For me, thickness of hair has always been more important than color, but I will go with pitch-black.
  22. I thought there is a trial version somewhere. Maybe you can try it out for a few days before buying it.
  23. Eye of the beholder? Care to explain?
  24. Can't tell, though Chinese mostly cook with green onions. I must thank America for introducing me to onions in general.
