So if thats the case then. does that mean 'we' are to worried about 'there' beliefs ? (even though in this day and age, 'us' and 'them' is pointless in a multicultural country/world, but thats how it seems, and is made out to be, 'us' and 'them')

our government found it necessary to chime in with there opinion, and condemn the pastor in america, who was GOING TO, burn a koran on september 11th, he was out of order because the koran is 'holy' book, and everyone has a rite to follow there own religion/beliefs etc, thats fair enough, fair play, even though that was in america, and diddly squat to do with us anyway, but it gives the rite impression internationally, to condemn it, and they give there opinion to maintain the moral high ground. but when our remembrance day, on our soil, which we have had for god knows how long, is totally disrespected, and our symbol of that day, is burnt, in public, they dont say a thing, and sweep it under the carpet.

now it cant work both ways. you cant have toy shops afraid to put a toy pig in toy set, in case it 'offends' a certain groups religion/beliefs. a governement that finds it necessary to condemn a religious book burning in another country, but dont find it necessary to condemn a group that burn the symbol of our fallen soldiers, and there memory, that have given there lives for this country, and its freedom.


surely its either everyone respects each others religions and beliefs, and if people who follow other religions and beliefs, get offended along the way, then so be it, agree to disagree so to speak. or, they condemn ANYONE that disrespects others religions or beliefs. you cant have one rule for one group, and one for another, and expect them to coexist.
