Bloods may think they have the right to shoot some people. There is a difference in thinking you are right and being right.

This applies here as well right?

Nope. This is a dictatorship. As Tenser says, this is like my house and you are all invited guests. I am talking about the world, not your house. If someone came over to your house and started making mama jokes and you told them to stop and they did not then you are fully in your right to kick them out. You might even be in your right to beat them up.

If you are watching a movie and someone is making mama jokes and you don't like it then you are fully in your right to turn it off not to tell the director to rewrite the movie.

See the difference. You can tell people how to act in your house. You can't tell them how to act everywhere in the world.

The thing we are debating is whether one group should be allowed to tell another group what music they include in a video game. I stick by my opinion that they should not.

However if the debate was should someone be able to decide what music is played in their own house then yes, they should.

Many Muslims think all women should wear burqas and completely cover their bodies in public. Should everyone do that even when it is not their own personal belief? No, you control yourself, that is it.

Many people think no one should be allowed to burn a flag. Should we make that a law? Should we condone it if someone wants to take the law into their own hand and kill someone that burns a flag?

I don't think people should intentionally try to piss people for the sole purpose of just offending them. But people need to get some thicker skin. Decide what you want in your life and stick with that. Don't worry about what other people are doing. If you don't want to listen to the song then don't. But don't tell someone else what they can listen to and don't get upset if they disagree. You can't control everyone and you have to accept that.

So when some guy makes a drawing and happens to get shot, well thats his own dumb fault.

I totally disagree. It is wrong to shot people because they drew something you didn't want them to draw no matter what it is. The fault lays with the person that did not realize that.

Treat others how you would like to be treated.

That goes both ways. You think the people doing the shooting want to be shot next time they step on someone's beliefs. I want people to be allowed to draw anything they want. They want to shoot people that do that. Should I treat them the same and shoot them? When does it stop.

Treating people the way you want to be treated boils down to you live your life and I'll live mine. If you don't like my life then look the other way, don't shoot me.

dont disrespect others and you wont be disrespected.

Not true. And a better solution is don't be so easily disrespected or don't care so much when you are.

I am personally sick of this whole childish thing muslims are doing.

I think it is important to point out we are talking about the vocal minority. Not mainstream Muslims.

Dojah you started out saying your best friend is Muslim. I would be interested to hear if he thinks people should be shot for drawing Muhammad or if a video game should be changed because it contained two sung religious verses.

I'm not 100% positive but I don't think theses are the types of things the average Muslim cares that much about. I think we are letting the vocal few speak for the quiet many.
