Star Wars Lego stirs Muslim outrage

[Deleted]

Well in Sweden Tin Tin is a racist, there are morons all over the world

[Kraenen]

Already been discussed here
Ended up in a lock sadly because people cant discuss this properly like adults and not resort to bashing a religion due to the actions on a minority.

It's not a minority though, it's in the foundation of the religion. The "moderate" muslims you're going to talk about in reply to this are the ones who are less religious.

[Wilian]

You cant do fuck all these day's without somebody being outraged it's pathetic.

Welcome to the world of political correctness, where butthurt rules and freedom of speech is a joke played on you by the offended.

I don't think anyone is claiming Jabba is a terrorist, or that real life terrorists like to kill their victims by throwing them into a Sarlacc pit.

That's of course all beside the point, since the model looks nothing like the Hagia Sophia, which was a Christian cathedral before it was a mosque, and is now a secular museum.

[Darsithis]

Ridiculous. Looks nothing like it and everything like a Hutt palace would.

[Kasierith]

It's interesting reading these stories, because I actually know several Saudi and Egyptian students who pretty much point to these depictions of overall outrage as blatant media falsification. The majority of the people really couldn't care less.

Muslim extremists are the stupidest people on earth, just ignore them and this world would be a happier place.

All religious extremists are that way unfortunately, not just Muslims.

If the palace model resembled the Vatican you'd hear the Pope calling it a sin against God.

Yet people make fun of christianity all the time, you don't see masses of them raising pogroms or killing people for making a movie or harassing and destroying stores with the same nationality as someone who made a cartoon.

Heard of the Crusades? How about a massive portion of the Christians that outrage against abortion? Also, not to mention all the Catholic Priests that molested little boys. I'm just scratching the surface. I could say more, but I don't feel like getting an infraction.

I was trying to think of the right words to reply to this, but all I can say is this isn't even close to a fair comparison. (Not to mention out of date) Different scenarios all together.

Christians do get upset when we suggest we shouldn't have Christian iconography displayed on public land, though. They go through similar tired rhetoric about a "war on Christianity" and such.

Can you imagine if the monty python team had done.
Monty python and the holy meteorite.

I'll just leave that here, I recommend you spend 3 minutes.

[Lodreh]

Lego should file a counter suit where they take offence to them being offended.

No need to look as far as crusades to see christian extremists actions

[Reluctant]

I see barely anny resemblance between the lego and the real thing. The only thing in common is a round roof.

[WeaponXAnimosity]

It's sad that the offended community purposely spent time looking out for something that might offend them. It must be lonely.

Breivik, might've heard of that one, killed a bunch of people in Norway, as per his manifesto, considers himself 100% christian and one of the words he used to descripe his acts within the text was a "modern crusade"

[rogueMatthias]

I was under the impression ALL the Star Wars races were meant to be based on bad racial stereotypes?
