The Olympics mocking the Christian faith...they wouldn't dare do that to Islam..

I'm no fan of Islam, but I have to respect that they would straight up confront these issues with an iron fist and have a iron will to defend their belief and the Quran, and won't not have let that happen to their faith on worldwide TV.

We in the west,and are ok with the wokie generations to just mock and take the piss out of our major religion...

Disgusting.

The Life of Brian.

As an atheist I have no time for any religion, but I do respect the rights of others to believe in the ridiculous concept of a god.
Comedy is a very useful tool to expose the contradictions and rank stupidity of faith, blind faith that is.

Thing is,if a Islamic version of Life of Brian was made ( great film ),eg 'The Life Of Abdul' there would be bloody violence.

It may never get made,due to Muhammads tantrums.

Charlie Hebdow.

I hope the uniting spirit of sport,now comes to the fore at the Paris Olympics.

The far Left have been accused of disrupting the transport system.

The Israeli football team booed.

Was the Israeli team booed in the stadium parade?

I hope the security teams are very much switched on , I won't be surprised if there are terrorist attacks.

I've only had a very quick look,it seemed to be a blue bloke,being presented at the 'Last Supper' ,as food.

His scrotum sack was painted blue too.

We've had face painting at Rovers for a few years now,could painting our ball bags blue and white Quarters,have them hanging out,displayed for all to see, catch on?

Put you off your pasty would'nt it.

You two, honestly.
Do you really not know what actually happened with that film?

"The idea of a biblical parody made film producers nervous. “Originally, we had the money from EMI for this film,” recalled Terry Gilliam. “It was, I believe, the Thursday before the crew was leaving [to start filming], we got the news that EMI had pulled out because apparently [film executive] Lord Bernie Delfont had finally got around to reading the script, decided it was blasphemous, and didn’t want his company to be involved in it … Everything was canceled.”

"As soon as it was released, Life of Brian was besieged by religious fundamentalists. Orthodox rabbis were the first to protest, objecting to a prayer shawl worn by John Cleese at the start of the film.

“It was the first scene to raise any protests,” said Terry Jones. “We always thought we were going to get protests from Christians, but in fact the first lot of protests we got [were] from the … Rabbinical Association of New York"

"The movie was banned in Shreveport, Alabama, outlawed in Alexandria, Louisiana, and harassed in South Carolina."

On a BBC 2 talk show at the time, with Cheese, Palin, Malcolm Muggeridge

This was Muggeridge

"“I would simply point out to you,” Muggeridge told them, “that if you care about what constitutes what we call Western Civilization—which now is probably coming to an end—and you were to consider the role that’s been played in that by this … piece of buffoonery, you would have a certain humility … This is such a tenth-rate film … and the lampooning of His death, which is the most disgraceful part of the whole thing … and all you’ve done is to make a lot of people on a cross singing a music hall song. I mean, it is so disgusting.”

And

"Life of Brian was banned in Ireland. It was banned in Norway. And it was suppressed throughout the United Kingdom. Screenings were forbidden in Birkenhead, Brynmawr, Cornwall, East Devon, Haverfordwest, Harrogate, Pontypridd, Swansea, and Whitehaven"

Freedoms are hard won, including the freedom to be the person you truly are

You brought Islam into it and I quoted the history of a film that was critical of Christianity through humour. You do appear to lose the continuity of what you say.

Btw, the very fact that you had never even heard of what was one of the funniest and, at the time, most controversial films in British Film making history, speaks volumes.

Stanley Kubrick/Sam Peckinpah films perhaps?

Both from the 1970s

I like a good laugh too,when I see some bloke with a beard wearing heels and a dress I nearly p1ss myself laughing.

If you would like to rephrase your question (if there is one) in English I will do my best to answer.
