Oh no! What sort of nefarious protest is it this time? Look at how angry they are. Surprised

I request that this topic be stricken from the board, because we aren't allowed to talk about Xslims anymore.

It is a religion of peace and I embrace the diversity and colour that it has brought to my once grey and lifeless nation.

Allah-hu-Akbar!

Apparently, these renegade muslims don't seem to agree with the 'religion of peace' mantra. What the hell is wrong with them?

"But as people who (along with hundreds of others) narrowly escaped death on the underground, we strongly feel that this conspiracy of silence about the very real violence in religious texts needs to be broken."

Actually, you can continue to talk about Islam, you just can't continue to spew hate and bigotry. Informed criticism is welcome in a discussion. I don't see any problem.

What's with this silly 'Xslims' thing? "X-ian" makes sense because of Greek, sort of, but this 'Xslim' does not.

Is it a religious protest, or just Arabic speakers participating in a protest?

I'll give a hint: it isn''t a religous protest. It says "No to ________." It'll probably just take a couple guesses to figure it out.

Umm... Are they protesting a new WalMart coming into the oasis?

The womenfolk getting uppity and showing too much wrist?

The government not recognizing man/camel relations as a legitimate form of marriage?

Come to think of it, maybe a Medina branch of Planned Parenthood wasn't such a good idea...

The Beirut Exploders ran out of hats for Free Hat Day?

We're here! We're queer! And, um, okay we'll go away now. Please don't put me to death.

Yes. mzlm terrorists are totally respectable, stand up members of society, and nobody must say a bad word about them.

Just tell us what the protest is about. Yawn.

Imagine what random photos of the L.A. riots would look like? A lot worse than that anyway.

I'm no fan of any terrorists by the way, but some of the hysteria surrounding it is mind blowing.

Okay, fine. They're protesting against something they refer to as "al-irhab", which in English means...terrorism.
