quote:
I'd like to say a bit more about this one. Both the Moslem and the Christian sides have complained about characterizations of their religion and/or holy books. If you're so sensitive you get upset when people don't show what you feel is proper respect, then you shouldn't be here. To provide a hopefully clarifying example, the proper response to, "The Bible is not the Word of God" is "Well, let's examine that proposition." The precisely wrong response is, "How dare you disrespect my religion!"
What relevane does this have to systematic misrepresentation of the material?
You are leaping to an unwarranted assumption when you assert that the issue is appropriate respect for the material, when all to often the issue is the factual content of the material. Systematically giving a false representation of any material is of course going to provoke ire. and it is not only useless but counterproductive to insist that such systenmatic misrepresenation cannot be confronted, but must be dealt with as if a serious allegation!
I suggest this decision is stupid.
