1. Follow closely and don't get confused. Below is not the islamic response to the Danish cartoons on mohammed. This is christianism's response to Joseph McCabe. Of course, the difference is all Potay-to Potah-to for Heathens.
Joseph McCabe writes of his own experience:
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin--><b>The Fear of the Godly</b>
THE criticism of religion seems to be an unpopular job. I am, as more zealous and self-sacrificing purveyors of skepticism will assure you, really a timid and innocuous person, yet I have had my life threatened in Sydney and have been protected by friendly guns in Denver. I have heard ladies of Minneapolis regret that none had the courage to shoot me, and British Spiritualist clergymen have deplored in their journal 'Light,' that I have never yet had the horsewhipping which I have merited. Friends have rushed before me in the streets of London to protect me, they imagined, from a vitriol-thrower, and sailors have been bribed by clergymen of the southern seas to put my luggage ashore a thousand miles away from my destination. I have been forced by the pressure of the Catholic Church on a London publisher to tear up a literary contract worth at least twenty thousand dollars, and have had my books shamelessly misrepresented in the press and expelled, under menaces, from booksellers' shops. Insults, injuries, intrigues, lies, libels, vituperations, depreciations ....<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin--><b>Pagans Knew Better</b>
"Injustice is a sin. Nature has constituted rational beings for their own mutual benefit, each to help his fellows according to their worth, and in no wise to do them hurt."
"When those about you are venting their censure or malice upon you or raising any other sort of injurious clamour ... it is still your duty to think kindly of them; for nature has made them to be your friends."
â Jesus? No, 'Meditations' of the emperor <b>Marcus Aurelius</b> (161-180) a pagan who devoted his life to the defence of Roman civilization.
<b>He despised the fanatics of Christ who delighted in Rome's misfortunes.</b><!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->Every discerning Pagan emperor of Rome was of the same feeling about christianism.

Ex-catholic priest Joseph McCabe:
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin--><b>Trajan and Marcus Aurelius,</b> who are counted as the third and fourth persecutors, were men of very different, and very high character. <b>All the Stoic Emperors detested Christianity as a mean superstition and an anti-social philosophy.</b> The Empire was laboring, and a sect which cut off its members from civic and imperial life deserved no indulgence. They let the law stand -- it is quite false that they issued persecuting decrees -- and interfered little with the local passion which occasionally flamed out against the Christians.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->Now why does anyone think that among the highly tolerant Roman populace - the Roman Traditionalists who accepted every and all Gods and all religions in their midst - there should have been any "local passion which occasionally flamed out against the Christians"?
It's because christos regularly terrorised the Greco-Romans by vandalising or burning their Temples and Vigrahas, and by speaking foully of the Real Gods of the real Greco-Romans.
The reasons are the same as why there are instances of "local passion which occasionally flamed out against the Christians" in Dharmic India: because of the christoterrorism against Hindus.
- Back then in Rome, the christians wrote their persecution sobstories to present themselves as the victims.
- Just like christians today in Bharatam write their persecution sobstories in the christian-owned media to present themselves as the victims.
Nothing has changed. They stir up a hornet's nest on purpose and then whine about their Innocent Victimhood if they ever get stung in consequence, or otherwise - if they couldn't get a persecution story out of it after all - then they make up christian fibs about getting stung.
