I'm putting together a team. I need four more people.

A Pakistani minister offered US$100,000 on Saturday to anyone who kills the maker of an online video which insults Islam, as sporadic protests rumbled on across parts of the Muslim world.
“I announce today that this blasphemer, this sinner who has spoken nonsense about the holy Prophet, anyone who murders him, I will reward him with $100,000,” Railways Minister Ghulam Ahmad Bilour told a news conference, to applause.
...
People involved in the film, an amateurish 13-minute clip of which was posted on YouTube, have said it was made by a 55-year-old California man, Nakoula Basseley Nakoula.
Nakoula has not returned to his home in the Los Angeles suburb of Cerritos since leaving voluntarily to be interviewed by federal authorities. His family has since gone into hiding.
...
“I invite the Taliban brothers and the al Qaeda brothers to join me in this blessed mission.”
Forget the disorganized group of that make up the Taliban and al Qaeda. The job will fall to real men (Or women. Those Taliban assholes would HATE that )
I don't care much for the politics of the situation. I saw the video and thought it was hilariously awful. I have sympathy for those who have been hurt and have died because of this person's tacky actions.... but I want a bigger TV, my Xbox RROD'd, and Superbowl tickets aren't cheap.
Whos in? Signups begin below.

I know it was that Jew, Lomac, can we kill him? Can we?

guess no matter what country you're in there will be government officials saying the craziest shit to pander to their constituents
You get the point of my thread. The ridiculousness of an excessive reaction to a insignificant piece of media (similar to a cartoon in a newspaper) is met with an equally ridiculous notion.
It worries me that Redlines Daily thought I was serious...
But if he really think that my opinion (in the form of an Expendables parody) on an overzealous politician crossed a line into "shameful", I encourage him to contact the authorities because for some reason there are blasphemy laws in Canada.
I look forward to the RCMP knocking on my door

this whole situation shows just how stupid people are in the world, and how stupid religion can make people (i am not saying religion is stupid, while i have no belief system, it creates a moral ground for people to follow, hopefully, which is never a bad thing.... unless those morals are stupid and make people want to kill another idiot who made some stupid fucking movie)

saying religion is stupid is just like saying science is stupid or women are stupid or life in general is stupid because it makes guys/people do stupid things...

stupid people make things stupid plain and simple
your reading comprehension sucks, i didn't say religion is stupid, in fact i specifically said that i wasn't saying that - i was saying exactly what you were saying - religion can make people do REALLY stupid things
i strongly believe that people will hate each other for religion, race, sex, for whatever reason - take away religion, they'll find another reason to have an 'us and them'
Or you meet some girl at the club, cum inside of her, find out shes only in grade 12, so you buy a Prada bag for her to make things right, she finds out the bag is a fake and decides to have the kid

I don't understand how people have been mocking Christianity/Jesus/God pretty much non stop through the modern times, and one or two small cartoons/jokes about islam and shit goes off the wall.
Really? Take a chill pill and relax.

there was a guy being interviewed on cnn can't remember who he was
who was basically saying most of those who were up in arms viewed the situation as the US govt. was supporting a anti Islam movie (they hadn't even seen the youtube video) and given all the oppression they've felt from US foreign policy over the decades that just set them off
others who had seen the youtube clip thought it was an actual movie and movies in their countries have to be signed off by their respective state departments so again "us govt supporting anti islam movie" hatred
those interviewed also pointed out that the "riots" were actually very small and there were/are also larger protests protesting the violence of those riots but the media isn't concentrating on those since it isn't newsworthy
