Image. Well, obviously Mohammad should be able to save up his money, just like the Danish children... (Image is from a Danish hardware store.) Think we'll have another round of rioting?

Posted by Human (Member # 2985) on :

Considering that Mohammed (or whichever spelling) is a fairly common name among people of the Muslim faith, I don't think so. Besides, having the name 'Mohammad' on a piggy bank and drawing a picture of THE Mohammad are two entirely different things. Methinks you're reaching a bit on this one.

it makes you wonder if its a desicrated name or a sacred pig

Posted by Stephan (Member # 7549) on :

Actually the offensive part would probably be having their prophet's name written on a pig. A frog should be ok for instance.

...and I was expecting a thread on calculus.

Posted by Human (Member # 2985) on :

Wouldn't that be "This is *real* integers"?

Posted by BlackBlade (Member # 8376) on :

I lol'd putting Mohammed on a dirty pig would probably offend some.

KOM: Do you know anything about whether or not there is a strong anti Muslim sentiment building in Denmark, and if so, is it a result of Muslims attempting to create a viable political block capable of instituting Shari'a?

Real integers? That's an oxymoron.

That seems like a waste of lumber. Couldn't they just meet at the local YMCA?

No...it's redundant.

Posted by Swampjedi (Member # 7374) on :

Maybe I'm just tired, but a real is floating point, and an integer isn't.

Now that I think about it (more) clearly, Z is a subset of R. I suppose I was thinking programming. So yeah, it's redundant. [Big Grin]

Unless you're talking about Gaussian integers!

Now I'm embarrassed to be called a programmer.

One of my nicknames is Mickel. Spelt similiarly to the piggy bank. I wish I had one...
