Assuming NO group, church or any other religious establishment is gonna be offended (speak out) by a comic depicting an orgie scene of four major religious icons on a popular satire site isn't wierd?

[Femmeworth]

God willing.

The count is back.

Are you doing this on purpose? Come on, dude. You asked whether the message of the comic is holding up. The message was not "lol no one will be offended," it was "there will be no violent reprisals."

[midonnay]

alot of poor people don't even have electricity....they'd be googling the onion?

it'd take people with an agenda building a mob into a frenzy.

a better test would be if the onion editors wore that picture on a t-shirt and walk through a neighbourhood of people who could be offended >_>

If the prophet Muhammad was added in the orgy, would the artist be threatened? Would Tahir Square be riddled with tear gas and street bombs if Muhammad was added?

The woman who started Draw Muhammad Day is to my knowledge still in hiding.

So The Onion did act out of fear.

But you are totally twisting my question and words, I am doing nothing on purpose. What is wrong with you? Lacking reading comprehension? Did you read the question I asked that Steve quoted me on?

Can you Pin point the part where I ask about violence happening due to this comic?

No one can ask a question and get an honest answer around here anymore? Does everyone have to attack each other and twist each other's words? What do you get out of instigating people's random posts?
Either answer my question if you have an honest answer for it or ignore it, as you can see someone sensible already did that on the last page. I'm not asking for anything more. Jeez! Thanks :)

Good Lord.

We're done here.

[Johnny Cage In The Shower]

Haha I didn't even start here.

[CornBurrito]

I am guessing by "backlash/incidents" Steve thought you meant violent responses. Y'know, the kind of responses the article talked about.

If you mean "have religious people gotten offended by this?" then yes.

[Johnny Cage In The Shower]

I can see that, but again I used the term loosly, never specifically asked if there were any deaths caused by Buddhist monks

"Catholic church sues the Onion for offensive..." wouldn't that be considered backlash? Or even an insident? Maybe the word "backfire" was a bit too much but again. My question really wasn't asking "So what's the death toll here guys?"
Just wanted to see If this comic actually created some real news amongst religious groups around the world. Why all the hostility? Would love it if people took a question at face value and answered it, instead of being asshats, I'm here to get some news, updates about this stuff, not to waste time with ppl who misquote me etc.

Sorry for all the edits. I'm typing from a tiny phone

I'm pretty sure this would offend some non-religious people as well.

[CornBurrito]

How so?

[perfectchaos007]

How so?

If you take away the religious figures and replace them with normal humans or animals, it still can be seen as pretty offensive with the penis', vaginas, and lewd sexual acts being demonstrated.

[Johnny Cage In The Shower]

Nothing yet. But apparently India's going to blow up any time now.

Ha! Didn't realize Cyan was the same guy who gave me a decent answer the first time to my question, then also proceeded to argue with me. You already answered me once dude, why not leave it at that? I realize it's a joke response, but at least it's a straight forward answer to my question without sounding condescending like others.

And by "others" I mean...

of course there could be a backlash given with whats going on in the news but 1.) this image was posted because of what's going in the news and 2.) its meant to be offensive.

The difference is this is not the first offensive thing printed, written, video recorded of these religions. hundreds of statements in this very thread could be considered offensive. the point is we are not constantly embroiled in religious battles over people excising their freedom of speech.

i think we should all sport a picture of Muhammad on our favorite T. We need to take this thing further. The point needs to be made and Islam needs to catch up with rest of the world.

[Johnny Cage In The Shower]

Draw Muhammad day 2.0 my pencil is ready!

[Azzurri]

Holy shit, I can't stop laughing

One of my pet peeves is disingenuous arguing--pretending to misunderstand the other person, needlessly splitting hairs about what's already been said, etc. That was what it looked like to me, though in light of this post, perhaps I was over-hasty and it was just a straight-up misunderstanding. In which case, no worries.

@washingtonpost
Why is the Muslim world so easily offended? http://t.co/UePNmpt1

[SMT]

Somebody at a KFC in Lebanon just got beat-up because of that picture.

J.K

[xbhaskarx]

[jaxword]

xbhaskarx, are you implying that people get offended when they deliberately look for reasons to get offended and inevitably find them?

Shocked. Shocked, I am.

[Foxy Fox 39]

How so?

C'mon on! Really?!

[Socreges]

A bit on the nose but awesome nonetheless.

That's a trunk.

Sums up how I see it quite well.

You don't think Arabs are protesting against the Syrian government?

[Gustav]

Hahaha. The dog is super funny.

[BowieZ]

i want to buy the t-shirt

[markot]

Should have said hundreds of thousands, and put Sudan.

[Canis lupus]

Exactly. Syria is on fire for a year and not even a single little protest.

[remnant]

So the Onion scathing satire is a rehash of a southpark joke from years ago? Impressive.

Could you post the South Park one for the ignorant?

[Napoleonthechimp]

Isn't he supposed to be some reincarnation of Buddha (there are like 10 or so).

Buddha is a title that means "awakened one" or "enlightened one". Many people can become one and supposedly there have been many.

Depends on what kind of Buddhism you practice.

[richisawesome]

Haven't got the link, but its essentially every main religious figure apart from muhamed shitting over eachother and the USA flag.

[CassSept]

That was what came to my mind too, it was in season 10 two-parter Cartoon Wars. The whole story was about Family Guy announcing they show Muhammad and riots in the Middle East. At the end of the second episode we were treated with, IIRC, a cartoon of Americans shitting all over Jesus.

Guess what was censored by the network (hint: Muhammad was supposed to appear in Part II)

[umop_3pisdn]

I mentioned this in a previous post in this thread, but if the word Buddha is used as a title to refer to a person then it refers to the first person who discovered enlightenment via their own efforts. So for us that would be the Gautama Buddha, everyone else that attains liberation is just an Arahant.

But that just applies to us, in Buddhist cosmology not only is time cyclical but there are other world systems that exist in parallel to ours, and thus other Buddhas as well.
