Yes this is prolly going to get closed but I dunno about everyone else but im just getting a little tired of Muslims being offended by 99% of everything else. I mean it's JUST a building! Not everything we do in the West is designed with the sole intention of pissing someone else off!

YOu can sort of see how the Muslims could be offended by this but then, I'm not going to defend them on this. There's only so many times a certain group can cry out in indignation before everyone just stops caring about anything they say.

I know it can be taken that way. But in all seriousness what doesn't offend them? It seems like if it doesn't go along with their beliefs the are offended.

I know its not all Muslims but it really does seem like its the majority

You have the entire story wrong. The Apple cube is not Black. It's see through glass. The black paper was on the glass when the store was constructed.

http://images.apple.com/retail/image...hoto-fifth.jpg

"MEMRI is not suggesting that the Apple store is offensive, they merely cite "an Islamic Web site." Their function is to translate existing news reports from Arabic, not endorse or agree with those reports."

One web site said it. It does not mean all Muslims feel that way.

Your posts were reported as offensive. You need to chill. If someone came in here and said "nuke the entire US and imprison all Christians" you'd have a fit.

This is a silly thread. You guys are getting all heated over what 1 web site said.

Another thing they should keep in mind, this is a predominately christian based country founded by white christian beliefed europeans, not muslim beliefed middle easterns. people need to remember that and not get offended because this country isnt built around them

You are an idiot. This is a multi-cultural nation, not a "white christian" only nation. This nation was stolen from the Native Americans so maybe we should only follow their beliefs.

BTW, Muslims are easily offended and their beliefs should be respected. That doesn't mean everyone should bow down to them, this being a free country and all.

Just to mention. The Kabba is God's house. Built for him we pray to wards it. Thus if it was a black box. IMO they have all right to get pissed off. But since the story was false as orignally posted no need to piss in the wind.

dude calm down, now its a multi cultural nation. it was founded by white christian farmers. that is fact. ben franklin, george washington, thomas paine, john hancock, john adams, were all white. its not racist or offensive to state historical FACT. and the native american arguement is old and stupid. should we give germany back to the barbarians or huns? should the eutruscians get back italy? forget this democratic iraq, the sumarians rightfully deserve iraq.

No, what's offensive is what he stated afterwards.

This country was built around racist white Christians so people shouldn't get offended by the things that happen here? That doesn't even make any sense and it shouldn't have been brought into the discussion.

ok ok, then who cares if they are offended? let them be offended, if something is actually done in response to their sensitivity then that is when we have the problem. US business is secular, if they dont like the shape of the apple store they need to grow up and quit acting like frigging babies.

I actually agree with this statement! That wasn't my point. It wasn't the fact that he said people shouldn't be offended, it was the reason he gave WHY they shouldn't be. The reason was irrelevant and really shouldn't have been brought up...

cool. i think tho that if they get their way and everyone appeases them because they are afraid of offending them that is dangerous too. i think the pope has a "I heart muslims" bumper sticker on the popemobile. i wish he'd say they are wrong about god and start the crusades again lol.

When a post is reported and email is sent and the posts are reviewed. There is a record of who is reported and how often. If it happens a lot an admin will look into it and decided if the person should be suspended or banned.

i have said a lot of anti-muslim shit in the past because i didnt know much about the religion. i have been talking to some muslims on another site and most (on this other site) are pretty violent and barbaric, but what i have noticed is that muslims who mainly just follow the quran are usually peaceful and good people. its muslims who believe in islamic law and also choose to believe in some of the hadiths that were created a couple hundred years after the quran that are usually the violent barbaric ones.

people who are hardcore anti-muslim need to realize this so they wont judge someone as a violent barbarian just because they are a muslim. at the present time in history there are a lot more violent muslims that any other religion on earth, but there are plenty of muslims who are very peaceful and good people.

Right. It's all the Muslims' fault. There are over-sensitive Jews, over-sensitive Catholics, over-sensitive Blacks, over-sensitive women.

These are over-sensitive Muslims complaining irrationally . . . like members of ALL groups do at times

None of those groups murder nuns and blow up churches when they are insulted...
