    It's difficult to respect people who blatantly mock the deeply held beliefs of others.
    Screw their religion, if they can't handle that they don't belong in a civilization and should go back to herding goats in the deserts of Backwardstan.

    What part? You know something about the 21 year old now arrested for the deed that we don't?

    Or do your sources not consider attempted arson as overdoing protests?
    We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

    Getting exposed for something means that someone else were doing it. Religious element is refering to suspected fundies. Bit complicated formulation, but I never claimed that he was doing it to himself.

    It's a mean word.

    Getting exposed to arson is different to getting exposed for (doing) arson.

    Which is appearently exactly the mistake I did. Bah, stupid English not having a word without those multiple meanings and having for and to translated to the same word some of the time. "Vilks was getting exposed for arson" is an exact translation of the sentence used in media, but unmistakable in meaning in Swedish.

    Anyway, another one got arrested as well. Seems that they left plenty of easily identifiable evidence.

    You shouldn't, unless you have a problem with people criticising Jews for the bloody, pointless, fighting and factionalism against Rome. In case you were wondering, Brian isn't meant to be Jesus, he's a False Prophet, that's why they have his mum at the Sermon on the Mount mis-hearing the beatitides.

    You are looking for, "supjected to Arson", or perhaps.... I don't have a non-Latinate word for you, which is likely the problem.

    Well I bet, Frag knows it, it might be of interest to others. Here we have the same man interviewed by the moslim girls (meiden van halal) he made fun of in their islamic program.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knRL...eature=related

    Well I'm not such a big fan of the man's comedy, he doesn't give the poor girls a chance. I remember this clip as one of the first things I showed my Islamic girlfriend when we started dating. Yes, I'm overly hounest and stuff when it comes to these things. One of the first conversations I had with her, was about the fact that I indeed could and would get erections because of other girls lol. Eitherway I'm getting way off topic.
