I just found this really odd. I know Christians find this offensive but what about Muslims? Like would Muslims take this as a mockery of Jesus as well?
That's what I thought. Everytime something like this happens I hear some Christians say, "well, they wouldn't offend Muslims like this!"
Which I always found odd as I assumed Muslims would find it offensive as well
well the thing is who is 'they'? these people i assume are 'christians', not practising but the type that celebrate christmas. They are disrespecting themselves, the whole situation is saddening. If these people cannot respect what they 'believe' in then no one will.
may Allah protect the muslims from ever disrespecting any of His Beloved Prophets.

Who's getting hurt? If people don't like it, they can simply ignore it.
It's a parade. It's not like this was something they did in private just for kicks.
One cannot ignore it when they publish the event and draw attention to themselves. I do not contest their rights to be sophomoric imbeciles or engadge in crude behavior unbecoming mature individuals.
Can you honestly tell me that you would not be in the slightest bit annoyed if say your mother or your wife or anyone dear to you was mocked in public in a similar kind of event? Sure, you could ignore it, but can you honestly say that it wouldn't annoy you that such a show would still even be in existence?
Followers of the major religions often love their religious figures more than they love their own family and friends, so seeing such a spectacle would be more insulting than the insult you would feel for your loved one.
Actually, I wouldn't be annoyed and I really would ignore it. Furthermore, they can make a mockery out of me as well, so long as no one is getting hurt.
There are more important issues than this.
If I say it's o.k. for someone to make a mockery of me, then anyone else good as well imho. I personally wouldn't offend but I rather not take someone's ability to do that.
As disrespectful, dishonourable, offensive and just plain weird as this is...
It is Amsterdam, Hedonist Capital of the World.
Modern Sodoma and Gomora. But I dont want to point fingers, as you can find immorality in cities in my country too. Its just that in Holland they made all this legal.
This country is dying because of a lack of men, not a lack of programs.
Who's getting hurt? If people don't like it, they can simply ignore it.
How about I walk up to you and make fun of your mother, sister, old grandpa, deceased ones?
YOU arent getting hurt are you?
So you think mocking figures whom billions revere and millions have died for and devoted their lives to is right?
Get real you fool. As an atheist you may think religion is just another idea but is it much more than that. It is everything to many, including myself.
If you would like to punch me for making fun of your closest loved ones, you better be ****ed sure I would do the same to you if you insult my religion. Only the Prophet's example and my love and fear of Allah keeps me from striking you. :enough!:

Religion is more than just YOU. You dont seem to get that. They have a right to doom themselves, it is decreed by God. Religion is more than just your personal issues.
I will mind if I see bullies verbally abusing a child. I will mind if I see a man who decides to portray the very reason why some people live, as a transexual or gay.
And they call us HATE filled? Intolerant? For criticizing homosexuality I am a bigot?? But them mocking our religion, Jesus, they are exercising their "rights"???
