Austrian cartoonist faces Greek jail over blasphemy

[Atahualpa]

I don't know, christians offend me pretty every time. They still breed like rabbits.
Ofc, if I wanted to shut them up, I'd be a nazi. But if christians shut up what offends them, they're right.
Totally weird.

But the funny thing is that their believe system is totally ****ed and everybody knows that, even themselves, yet they still do the dance everytime the priest grabs for the bread of jesus. That canibalic act alone is disgusting enough. And then they claim to bring civilization to the barbarians. Those who smoke so much incense that they believe the wine is his blood... wait no, only the priest drinks the other will just have to eat his flesh.

Religion is a lost cause since all the intellectuals have left them. Nowadays it's just a bunch of brainless fanatic idiots who don't even think about what they are saying or doing. This holds for christians, muslim, jews,...

I am still a christian and I will never leave them, because they clearly need a leader, someone with a brain and a heart and a good sense for right and wrong. Someone that is also in contact with the spiritual side of life. And that would be me. Not yet, but soon.

he probably doesn't care where it is getting published.

well he should

What I want to know is: how can the EU justify getting its knickers in a knot last year when Turkey wanted to criminalize adultery -- implying that they'd never get EU membership with such a backward law on the books -- when they've let in counties that prosecute this kind of nonsense?

Well the greek government should push a little seperation of state and religion. The idea is floating around for a while now.

We have finally understood that the only sure way to have countries do some important things is to force them before the adhesion.

So, now that your constitution allows for it, when are you going to throw Greece out?

[Spiffor]

As soon as Turkey calls the shot. DUH!

Maybe so, Mark. But you really don't blame this on the author, do you?

I mean, even if Greece has laws that prohibit this kind of thing, then it's the publisher that has to do all the groundword in checking the legality and stuff. Not the author. I would really like your word on whether this is the publisher's or the author's responsibility. What do you say, Mark??

Re: Austrian cartoonist faces Greek jail over blasphemy

he is to appeal against his six-month sentence in Athens on April 13.

he won the appeal....

now we need a new law that will make the initial judge pay the bill for the unnecessary appeal....
