Richard Dawkins had a great idea the other day. Flood the Middle East with porn to the point the religious "guardians" can do nothing about it and nudity and liberalism etc becomes second nature and eventually no-one in the region bats an eyelid about it. And people are not so easily offended by their beliefs.
This might prove the start of a long awaited enlightenment in the region.

In the west the enlightenment took off with the printing press and classic philosophical and scientific works being spread far and wide. In the end the clerics couldn't keep up with trying to control knowledge and had to throw in the towel.

As long as the clerics and holy men are major influences in the ME there will be problems.

These two statements actually make sense together in a way they never could apart.

Yea, it's this aspect, the sheer cheek of it that makes me despise their belief system. The school apologising is depressing.

Please excuse my ignorance, but is it a sin for some Muslims to look upon an image of their prophet or is it only the person who draws or distributes the image committing a sin?

Like if a Muslim went to buy or borrow a copy of the magazine or looked up the image online because they wanted to look at the image to see what all the talk was about, would they be sinning by doing so, or would it still only be the artist and/or distributor who was the sinner?

If when the magazine was produced in class, would it have been a sin in the Muslim religion for the child to take the magazine and look at it?

Not sure if "sin" is the right word.

Principal probably likes living, or having his head attached to the rest of his body.

I see the little muslim boy was educated about Charlie Hebdo as he certainly new how to react when shown the paper.

I presume he was educated by his parents in an open, unbiased manner so that he could form an opinion of his own and take part in the discussion.
