Relax a bit man. I took his first comment as just general excitement / internet shinanigans. I took his second as simply proding and sarcasm.

In the end, people should just really go celebrate the killing of Bin Laden. While terrorist cells and extremism will continue, it should be alot more fragmented and "hopefully" not pose as big a threat.

There's nothing to relax about, really. I'm not personally offended about any of this, I just felt like speaking my mind a bit.

I just don't want this forum to turn into every other car forum out there, basically.

I don't have anything against Muslims. Thing is, I don't consider bin Laden to be in any way representative of true Islam, which is why I don't think he really deserves much respect. As the vast majority of muslims will attest to, bin Laden and his ilk have a completely twisted view of Islam. In any case, I was just trying to have a little fun to break up an otherwise very boring day. I'm sorry if I stepped on anyone's toes.

It's an emotionally charged topic for both sides. While the pork comment may be found offensive by 'some' Muslim people, the comment was directed at Osama not all Muslim people.

My best friend is Egyptian and a devout Muslim and I joke about slipping powdered pork into his protein shakes all the time and I declare jihad on him before we spar in MMA and he laughs afterwards because he knows I mean him no personal malice and he sees it for what it is.

It was not an attack on Islam, it was a comment meant to show Osama as much disrespect as possible in an outrageous way, which might be normally crossing the line, but when someone orchestrates a terrorist attack which kills 3000 civilians I'm not sure they deserve to be sheltered from 'intolerant comments'

My suggestion is since the comment was not meant to offend you personally, choose not get offended. Why feel insulted when no insult was intended?

*EDIT* Damn in the time I took to write this it looks like you two made up...

....and this is why we don't have the politics or religion forum anymore because everybody gets butthurt when they see nobody has the same viewpoint on anything.

You could always watch Jarhead and find out the answer to the riddle: "Look what I put in his mouth..."

That would be pretty suitable.

You're just saying that because you're a <insert social group> and I'm a <insert rival social group>. You just don't understand me.

Understood, I overreacted a bit as I've been browsing a few local forums this morning and have been pretty disgusted with some of the stuff people have been saying there.

Sorry for jumping down your throat.

It's all good. I've done that before, too.

And I agree, some of the comments I've heard on the radio today have gone a bit far.
