Guest guest Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 When I read that phrase,"feelings were hurt," Im reminded of that cartoon "Tweety the Bird and Sylvester the Cat. "Oh Poor wittle putty cats feewings were hurt.Bad Tweety Bird for Hurting poor putty cat's feewings." Its an apt example because Sylvester the cat is always schemeing how to kill, cook and eat Tweety Bird for dinner. However, Smart Tweety bird is always outwitting Sylvester. Their mutual owner only sees poor Sylvester being repeatedly smashed and driven mad by Tweety. Ignoring the fact that Sylvester the cat's sad predicament is a direct result of his failed attempts to kill Tweety bird, the Owner is always reprimanding Tweety bird. "Now you stop that, Tweety Bird. Be nice to the poor kitty cat." The owner is blind to the dangers created by putting a cat and a bird in the same room. Meanwhile, Sylvester's cat eyes are glaring at Tweety bird, as his mind begins schemeing up another oppurtunity to eat Tweety bird. All the while he purrs and snuggles up to the owner. In the same way, we see that the Hindus are always being targeted by the Jihadis. The Jihadis are continually failing in their overall goal of devouring India. The Indian govt, ignores the obvious that the cat wants to eat the bird, and coddles the Muslims. "The poor Muslims feewings were hurt, you bad, bad Hindus." Arrest for Prophet Mohammad image By Ram Dutt Tripathi BBC News, Lucknow "Authorities took action after a complaint by local Muslims who said their feelings had been hurt by the book." Islam considers images of the Prophet Mohammad blasphemy Police in India's Uttar Pradesh state have arrested a publisher for a sketch of the Prophet Mohammad in a book. They said the drawing was likely to cause outrage among the Muslim community as images of the Prophet are considered blasphemy in Islam. The publisher, Amit Agrawal, was arrested in the city of Merrut, 80km (50 miles) east of Delhi. In 2001, Time magazine apologised to Muslims after an image of the Prophet Mohammad sparked riots in Kashmir. A court remanded Mr Agrawal in custody on Tuesday for 14 days. Idol worship The book, named Gyan Ganga, or River of Knowledge, was published by the Heavens Publications House in the Civil Lines area of Merrut. District magistrate, Chandra Bhanu, said 18 copies of the book had been seized. Kashmiri Muslims were angry at the image in Time Authorities took action after a complaint by local Muslims who said their feelings had been hurt by the book. They said the sketch was against their religion, which bans idol worship. A police inquiry revealed the same sketch had appeared in another book, published from the Una district in the Himalayan hill state of Himachal Pradesh. But the private publication was of so small a circulation it drew no complaints. In the 2001 Time magazine riots, students in Indian-administered Kashmir offended by the image threw stones at police and burned several cars, while security forces responded with tear gas and bamboo canes. The magazine was removed from news stands by a government order in Muslim Malaysia. The picture - part of a special report on "Jerusalem at the time of Jesus" - showed the Prophet meeting the Archangel Gabriel to receive a revelation from God. In 2002, several Muslim countries banned an issue of Newsweek magazine that carried an image of the Prophet Mohammad from an undated Turkish manuscript. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/4699847.stm IndianCivilization, "Benjamin Orion" <orion777ben> wrote: > > Arrest in India for Prophet Mohammad image > > http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/4699847.stm --- End forwarded message --- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
