Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

It seems clear that as "Islam" becomes more and more in the world's eyes, we will see more and more of this type of activity.

Bizarre. Tell me, can such a religion be truly tolerated? Does a religion reach a point where it is a danger not only to others (as Islam surely is), but to the adherents of that religion?

In this Country, freedom of religion does NOT mean ABSOLUTE freedom or religion.

I wonder if the EU has chimed in on this? LOL.

Look, that is just bizarre. I'm sorry. Your analogy to Christianity, today's Christianity, is inane.

I'm sorry, we ain't in the 1400's anymore in christianity.

And, I note, this IS the secular law as well in many Islamic countries. See Iran, for example.

And this is okay with you, eh?

Not yet, but give the fundies time ... I mean, if they can get creationism on the curriculum, burning witches can't be far behind.

    Tell me, do you think that if you hug someone there should be a fatwah put out on you? Just how did that change Rushdie's life? It effectively ended it. If you are in agreement with such horrific actions/way of life, then that's an issue as well.
