Washing and styling hair might have the significance of a religious ritual for most women. But that was not enough to appease Britain’s advertising watchdog, which has censured a hair styling company for causing “serious offence” to Christians after it ran a television campaign based on the Lord’s Prayer.

That's a bit unfair on "religious whackos"... I think your stereotyping.... I bet it was just "ugly religious whackos who haven't got any in ages"

It's sacrilegious, what's new. That would offend Catholics more than anyone else.

LOL.

I am not offended by this stuff, any Christian that is offended by it needs to lighten up, or just ignore it.

The ad is in bad taste... but i have no desire to riot in the streets.... burn any buildings or kill anyone because of it... that's the difference...

Love is the answer

Between the Archdeacon of Liverpool and the people holding signs stating "Death to those who insult Islam".

Oh cause I thought God Hates Fag groups are the same as the people holding signs.. Not all muslims are fanatics like not all christians are fanatics..

I thought this was about an ad.. that ad seems to be fair, it should not have been banned..

Even the "God Hates Fags" sign holding nutters aren't burning buildings or killing anyone.

Are they really that insecure about their religion that they can't take something like this?

Nope, those types of people have never kid napped and murdered doctors, or blown up abortion clinics. Nope they just protest funerals, and bring the message of hate. They just picket these in a tasteful manner.

No they haven't, they just picket in an incredibly distasteful manner.

Other extremists have murdered abortion doctors and were appropriately prosecuted. However, no advertisement or silly cartoon was involved. Your comparison still fails.

Perhaps, I'm not sure what Britain's bill of rights contains.

Oh oh oh.. Look above silly advertsments are now involved.. Oh and I was saying censorship is bad because that's what this is about. It's not about the muslims, it's about the silly christians.. Silly silly christians.

Yes, it is silly. Making one's point of view known is one thing, but getting an ad banned isn't really necessary. But once again you've completely missed the point ...

No Christians are calling for anyone's DEATH because of this advertisement. Unlike crowds of the religion of peace when someone dares draw a cartoon. We've even had some "artist" put a picture of Christ in a bottle of urine in the US and nothing happened. Can you imagine the firestorm of violence that would erupt if someone dared to 1. make a picture of Mohammad and 2. put it in a bottle full of urine?

See saying "No" Christian is rediculas.. I'm sure that they're are christians who are.. Religion needs to be a progessive thing, and religions that don't progress end up teaching there people "we're right and F everyone who says different"..
