— Ace They say it's anti-semetic, racist, and homophobic.
I think their main complaint is that it's anti-Islamic, though. The rest are tossed on as window-dressing.
So now we'll have to ban it, or something.
Dante's Divine Comedy should be banned from schools as a racist and Islamophobic text rather than esteemed as one of the greatest achievements of Western poetry, according to a human rights organization that acts as a consultant for the United Nations."We do not advocate censorship or the burning of books, but we would like it acknowledged, clearly and unambiguously, that in the Divine Comedy there is racist, Islamophobic and anti-Semitic content," said Valentina Sereni, president of Gherush92, according to the Telegraph. "The Prophet Mohammed was subjected to a horrific punishment – his body was split from end to end so that his entrails dangled out, an image that offends Islamic culture," Sereni also said.
Incidentally, this movie is part of a broader effort to "to develop "an 'International Convention for the Protection of Cultural Diversity,' as the fundamental legal instrument in the battle against racism."
And also incidentally, a gay leader called this political correctness run amok.
Cultural Diversity
Only two cultures are permitted-- atheistic and Islamic.

Actually, just ban anything that isn't the Quran. Everything else offends Islamic culture.
And, since I'm moderate, please ban everything.
Or I'll kill you.

"We do not advocate censorship or the burning of books, but we want to censor this book, and possibly even burn it..."
There, I fixed that quote for you.
Just for you information, any time any organization starts out with the words "We truly believe in the need for a society to have free speech" or "We are fundamentally against censorship in every way" or "We here at X support a free, open exchange of dialogue", the next word out of their mouths is going to be "BUT" and then they are going to tell you all about how they want to squsih free speech, censor something, or end an open, free exchange of dialogue.
Oh, they will usually try to defend it by claiming that this, and ONLY this, particular speech is beyond the pale, but will fail to realize that you can't be FOR free speech while at the same time being against speech you think is offensive. It doesn't work that way.

If you aren't Muslim, why would you refer to Mohammed as "the Prophet Mohammed". Do non-Christians refer to Jesus Christ as "The Son of God"?
The proper way to describe him, if one were not being reverent, is "Mohammed, who Muslims revere as a prophet," or some other such wording. But calling him "the Prophet Mohammed", with capital "P" for "Prophet" and all, you are stating that you adhere to Islam.
World-wide Dihmmitude is much further along than anyone realizes. They have most media willingly referring to that savage, dishonest, murdering pedophile mohammed as "the Prophet Mohammed" and have most media afraid to make any jokes or snide comments about Islam whatsoever.

Nice to see the UN has decided to take a break from not punishing their hordes of rape-happy Peacekeepers to really focus on the important issues, like tongue-bathing radical Islamists.
I don't think they have to worry, really. The Divine Comedy is too difficult for schoolchildren to read in today's illiterate society. The best we can expect from our upcoming crop of high school graduates is that they MIGHT be able to finish a Captain Underpants book if they move their lips and use a bookmark so they don't lose their place overnight.

Well, besides Trump.
Anyway, my solution is for the U.N. to be relocated to Brussels or Geneva. What would be nice would be a formal League of Free Nations composed of democratic and at least vaguely capitalistic countries. South Korea, Japan, Israel, Canada, Australia; probably the U.K. and France, and so on.
It'd be like NATO, only better. It would have the gloss of advancing economic and political freedom while also being a forum for bombing the everloving shit out of dictators.

I would go a step further and say that leftists don't believe there is such a thing as "human nature." They believe that humanity is just a social construct, and we are all the product of our environment. So if that environment can be made as nonjudgmental as possible, then people will naturally become nonjudgmental themselves. QED.
Which just proves how utterly, irrevocably, innately STUPID they are.

The Inferno is full of dreadful punishments - it's supposed to be scary! Dreadful things were done to Dante's political opponents, too, some of whom had living relatives at the time. They probably were offended, but they seem to have been able to contain themselves. The muslims will just have to bear up under the burden, too.
Even in the rather clunky translations we all read in high school, though (I'm thinking of Rossi, specifically), the description of the condition of the gates of the city of Dis is one of the great passages in all poetry.

I think they're well aware of human nature, and they're quite willing to use it. But they want the populace to believe that it's a social construct. Again, so that anyone who disagrees with them can be safely purged.

If you aren't Muslim, why would you refer to Mohammed as "the Prophet Mohammed". Do non-Christians refer to Jesus Christ as "The Son of God"?
I'm a little torn on this, if only because "Christ" is also a title that refers to Jesus' claims about himself. We'd generally know who's talking about who if we just refer to "Jesus" or "Mohammed", but that extra title does make it very clear that we're referring to the religious figure and not just some random guy who shares the name.
A quick scan of news articles show that some do use "Jesus Christ" instead of just "Jesus". I guess a fair comparison is to check if news articles always use "Prophet Mohammed", indicating a higher level of respect for Islam than for a religion that doesn't threaten to murder journalists over words.

The problem with that is the Leftist can shift allegiance where there is a perception of a greater victim at the surface or an opportunity for greater collective power sub rosa.
All positions of the Left are political, all people are potential allies and enemies, and all things weapons.
For the Left there are only two cultures, those that believe in a collective, and those that do not.

I'm going to check out the Italian press later. This has to be causing una gigante tempesta di merda in the old country.

No; that's in a different (set of) books, the Hadith:
www.muslimsforjesus.org/ Jesus%20in%20Hadith/ jesusinhadith.htm
The Qur'an just says that Jesus is still alive (4:157), but lurking around in Paradise anyway.
I haven't checked the isnad for your comment, but I'm going to guess that Jesus's return is from a Syrian source. Lots of Christians in Syria, way back when.

I have told people for years that "but" is verbal shorthand for "ignore everything I have said up until this point, because now I'm going to tell you how I REALLY feel about it".
"That's a lovely dress, but..."
"Your children are lovely, but..."
"Yeah, I can see you have a point, but..."
Even when it starts a sentence, it just means that they have ignored everything you have just said, and are now going to tell you what THEY think, without even the nicety of acknowledging your position first.
I've never found an exception yet.

Only two cultures are permitted-- atheistic and Islamic.
And when in conflict, there can be only one. And it ain't atheism...

If there really is this type of divine punishment you know they told Mo.
"That's just for starters bitch" and then showed him the barbed cock.

She said she hated politics but she spouted every Democrat talking point and included just about everything Write has said.
Oh and gasoline prices are high because of greed from the oil companies and oh how she loved the History channel.
On that score I told her if she like History she needed to visit the library and get some real history. She informed me then she didn't like to read.
I would have give her an earful but she was there with her mother who had cancer in her bones.

That might even be the more correct (archaic) English. "Like" is acting like a subjunctive here. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_subjunctive]

31 If you aren't Muslim, why would you refer to Mohammed as "the Prophet Mohammed". ---
Just to distinguish him from
'the insurgent Mohammed'
'the terrorist Mohammed'
'the moderate Mohammed'
'the suicide bomber Mohammed'
'the murderer Mohammed'
i made one of those up...

Actually, "the suicide bomber, Mohammed" is incorrect. Islamic leaders don't sacrifice their OWN lives, they talk their underlings into blowing themselves up. There's a reason why leaders like KSM, Bin Ladin, Saddam, Khaddafi, al Sadr, Zarqawi et al are all either captured or blown up while hiding in holes or safehouses. These cowardly cocksuckers don't have the balls to take to the field themselves unless their adversaries are unarmed and on their knees.

I have a better idea. The koran and the Muslim religion are inimical to civilization and are nothing more than hate crimes writ large. Both should be banned at once.

Real-live schoolgirls beheaded in Indonesia- not a peep.
Murder of an Israeli family (including their children, with the perps slitting the throat of a 3-month-old baby)- ho-hum.
A written work -- absolute fiction -- a mere story -- in which Mohammed is depicted as consigned to Hell and split nearly in two because he caused "schism" in his lifetime- Oh, my, no, can't have that. Wrong! Bad!! Eeeeevil and insulting!!! "We find your Western ways OFFENSIVE -- YOU have to accommodate US because (channeling the Hulk

I thought a phobia is defined as groundless fear. If there was ever something to be feared, it's Islam in the 21st century.
Of course, it's only fearsome because our leaders pretend it's the religion of peace and allow this stealth invasion. Personally I think we should ban it as an assault on the Constitution. Tear down the mosques and deport /imprison anyone caught "practicing" or promoting it.
Yeah, I know. A girl can dream, can't she?

Why can't they just have a sticker saying: Written around 1300, come ON, what did you expect?
