Defending Muhammed

i do not believe that it is the fault of all the danish, but the reason why people are overeacting is becoz trust me wat they did was huge in our eyes. not coz we enjoy it, we're just sayin dnt do it, we wont do it 2 u. burnin the danish flag, i dnt no why they did that.

Well maybe we all learned something from this. Freedom of speech is important but we do need to respect other peoples beliefs.

People have fought hard to earn that right and as always it is taken advantage of by those who never made the sacrifice, and it is they who will usually abuse it.

If it helps, there was a protest of 3,000 asking for peace, apologizing for stepping on tradition.

"A fool says I know and a wise man says I wonder."

Remeber, media focus on tragedy, often the most extreme forms. Why say that millions of people are protesting peacefully when you know that the public is more likely to listen about the handful of hotheads who burnt flags and caused damage? Never judge until you've heard the story from different viewpoints.

"How can we be just in a world without mercy and merciful in a world without justice?"

You're right - we have to be careful when we listen to the media.

I remember way back when, when I used to believe Saddam was a threat to the world.

They did light a match and threw gasolene on top of it didn't they.

"A fool says I know and a wise man says I wonder."

I believe the Danish journalists and the other european countries that broadcast the cartoon are all absolutely wrong. In this climate, it is inappropriate to publish such media. You must understand, and be sensitive to the tension that is rife amongs the west and middleeast at the moment and then reconsider broadcasting the cartoons. It is insenitive and unprofessional, the cartoons stereotype and portray one billion people as terrorists. It caricatures their most worshipped idol, their identity, it borders on being racist. It is a mistake and a public apology should be made. Freedome of expression is a basic right but exercising this right must be with sensitivity. To make a mockery out of one billion people is not just a cartoon.

i heard the iranians decided to make cartoons aswell. stupid, why stoop 2 their level. why. an eye 4 an eye my left foot.

"There is a thin line between bravery and stupidity"

thats ridiculous! it is really quite shocking how the protesters are conducting themselves. Burning flags, burining effigies, the extremists in london. The guy who dressed up as a suicide bomber! And he was protesting! later it was found out that he was a convicted drug dealer. he must be nominated for stupidityy of the year.

no youre wrong in Islam Jesus is the first prophet whereas Mohammed is the final prophet.

Muhammad is considered the last prophet. They think Jesus was also a prophet and not the son of God and think Jesus came before Muhammad to tell people about God's oneness.

And its not the actual drawing that Muslims are protesting as much as how the drawing depicted their most loved figure. Imagine doing that to Jesus or Buddha.

"How can we be just in a world without mercy and merciful in a world without justice?"

jesus wasnt the frst as far as islam is concerned, that was adam, then noah...... then it goes on. jesus was the 2nd last. muhammed the last.

"There is a thin line between bravery and stupidity"

so what proof is there that muhammed is a profit? jesus performed miracles what did muhammed do? forgive my ignorance on this subject. im new to religion.
