    As i suspect you all ready the know the picture is photoshopped, although you would hardly be bothered about that as you like to play the victim & claim it's "insulting" instead;)


    Who say it was wrong? me? or are you playing the victim again?

    You are the one who suggested something was wrong but not with your muslim friends in the picture;)

    Sheesh... the original post was a bit of 'tongue-in-cheek' fun. It poked fun as Muslims (or at least, middle-eastern culture), but hardly worth strapping the bombs on over.

    Some of you folk need to increase your medication and chill out.

    This is the View from the Catbasket.

    So... Is it a question of time before there would be riots all over the place, and burning of samantha's pictures ? </sarcasm>

    Only 20 pages ? Ahhh... perhaps I've misjudged the situation. Obviously they HAVE been taking their Happy Pills :p

    If you can't see what the intentions behind posting the pic were then i feel sorry for you.

    The pic was obviously intended to show westerners as being warm and friendly and middle easterners as being cold and distant. And considering that it was posted by someone with an obvious hatred for anything brown and foreign that isn't a Gucci handbag the intention becomes even more clear.

    who cares if its photoshopped or not? That's not the point here. I had an idea that it is photoshopped, but the main point here is by that post she says I hate Middle East/Muslims and everything thats gotta do with it.

    I guess that depends wether your post about lesbians was humourous or merely outright insulting NFS. Why not give it a whirl (but keep it in good taste)

    Personaly, I thought the picture was tongue-in-cheek, and instantly recognisable by my peer group as such.

    And as for your comment on "black" humour.... I'd agree. But then, black humour (in it's original sense) is humour under pressure, and often the most important type.

    It also depends, who reads it. Obviously for most non-muslims it might be a joke. Now if we turn the things around - we'd get a different view from you. Ppl laugh when its not about them.

    hmmm, so if I posted a pic where 2 lesbian couple is on one side with vibrators and on the other side a girl with a real man naked. You think she would come and laugh here? :) I highly doubt.

    I feel sorry for you if you believe that, i took the picture to display westerners being disrespectful, disgusting & horrible. The muslims seemed to be displayed as prim & proper:


    Some want to have cake & eat it;)

    Everybody can see the intention behind the pic, It's obvious, Even to scheming liars like yourself, Why the photo was posted and what it was intended to portrait.
