I think larab did get a 96 or a 98... some other uws law student got like 98.9 also :/ Considering the scholarships they can get, perhaps proximity etc.. I don't think it's a far fetched idea.

No. It highlights the problem with these muslims. It is not right to jump up and down, burn things down, act like a spoilt little brat whenever you don't get your way. Freedom is paramount to our awesome societies and at least most of the christians can realise this. On this topic actually, I...

If the existance of a bunch of arseholes means I can't draw whatever the hell I want anymore, than I think there's a problem in this world that needs addressing. We let these people practice their religion in our country, we even allow them to set up schools that get government funding, we...

That's nothing new, but it's still such a terrible comparison... Drawing muhammed in the way it was done and making fun of a holocaust that killed 6 million people is quite different. It also shows that they're not sticking to their principle... they claim the cartoon shouldn't have been made...

Um ok... Why? When someone criticises a religion... they are usually criticising some sort of belief or practice which permeates through the religion. There are no permeating beliefs throughout a race, there are no practices which permeate throughout a race... If you criticise a race you are...

I would need to see the complete law... however I would imagine the question would be about what the purpose of the cartoons was... It mocked the religion of islam, however its purpose was not to threaten/insult/ or degrade persons. Nazi-ism is a particularily violent thing, so we've had to...

Yea I'm still at UWS, UTS law faculty rejected my questionaire, I lied for the 'community' section and I think they found out :o Either that or it's because I'm from UWS. I heard you transferred to macquarie tho?

Yea I don't either. I mean the only reason we have this association between islam and terrorism... is because it's there. We can see it on the tv in huge marches proclaiming islam and terrorism... we can see it in the way that radical muslim clerics are promoting terrorism.... we can see it in...

Well UWS does have lower cut offs... but we also take in a lot more people. I don't think it's much of a stretch of the imagination to think that many high-uai students from the greater west would pick uws over the other universities due to travel.

If you could be bothered to do some research on the matter, you would find out they were published in response to the difficulty a danish author whom was writing a story about muhammed had in finding cartoonists for his work (out of fear) and other such events. It was about how we have censored...

Yea but hopefully UWS won't do that, because we need a large, low-entry requirement uni.

I agree - The cartoons themselves aren't very witty or anything... I prefer the amateur ones.

HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why haven't these trolls been banned yet?

No because the editor is in charge of what goes on the newspaper... as long as the editor doesn't force that person to never use those swear words, or the newspaper its self is not stopped by some outside force I don't see how it's a 'breach of freedom of speech'. It's much like being at work...

I'm talking about getting hitler out of power via ww2, however the point about the mistakes of appeasing him, letting him get away with what he was doing is actually a great point that I didn't pick up on :o

If you can't accept jokes about your religion that's your problem - no one elses. Your religion is a belief and like any belief it can be criticised by others. I don't really care that you or any of these muslims take their religion 'seriously', I take my criticism of their religion seriously...

Newspapers should not bend to the will of special interest groups... Sure, he probably realised muslims might be offended by this (i doubt he could imagine by how much) but he also thought it was a meaningful piece of political commentary that is needed on the subject. The fact that muslims...

If there is a consensus operational definition of a muslim I imagine it would have to be so vague that these people would definately be included in the group. What? We should just take your word for what being a 'true' muslim is? It's like different christian sects claiming other groups aren't...

Well it's bad logic, but it's still logical notation - look you learnt something today :) Now lets see if you can judge your own logic in your posts before you post them, and maybe that'll save us a shitload of time pointing out your obvious flaws.

I know quite a bit about all the different types of christians... I have muslim friends, I have hindu friends, I even have one jewish friend. I know a decent ammount about their beliefs/customs etc... how they affect them... religion is a bit of a pet topic for me. Anyway, while you're going on...
