Dyou know what? I think we shouldn't respond. That's what they want, they want to show how violent Muslims are, and how shocking Islaam is. We have to prove them wrong. Allaah will protect His religion. No harm can fall upon Islaam coz Allaah is protecting it.

All we should do is pray for their guidance that are printing these and drawing them.

Firstly, Everyone cool down.

Secondly, we can show our disapproval without rioting on the government. Reprinting these cartoons is simply to spark a reaction. Don't give them the satisfaction. I'm not saying do nothing. Just don't lash out with anger.

Sadly we allow ourselves to become angered over the sins of others. It is fine to hate the sins, but it is wrong to react to them in a manner that is just as bad or even worse.

The goal of the cartoons seems to be one of showing the world that Muslims are immature, ignorant and prone to emotional outbursts. Our reaction often solidifies this belief. As a result we give the impression that Islam is backwards, oppressive and dangerous.This is the image we are promoting, not an image of strength or one of reason. Our behavior seems to be our worse enemy.

We actually encouraged the reprinting of the cartoons because in the past we have shown it generates world wide news coverage, not good coverage, one of showing us in the worse possible light. As long as we keep acting in that matter, more cartoons will appear and with each group of cartoons become even more hateful.

Yes we need to take a stand against the cartoons. But, we must do it in a manner that shows us to be dignified, civilized and more respectable than the cartoonists. The methods used to protect Islam in the past need to be updated and we now need to protect our belief in a workable manner and not through brute force.

Our best first tool is education. we need to show the world that Muhammad(PBUH) was an honorable man and did act with restraint, even when dealing with those who offended him.

Have the actions of the past curtailed the cartoons? It seems we have only publicized them and helped spread them much further than they would have been seen. Our past actions did not end them, it only served to encourage reprinting with larger distribution.

Have our actions honored Muhammad(PBUH)? Our actions helped promote the cartoons and brought about world wide distribution. We helped spread the cartoons not end or correct them.

Brother if we dont say anything they will calm down and stop doing these kind of things.

But if we keep on attacking them, then they will keep on hating Islaam

Get my jist?

They wont just calm down. They will continue provoking muslims over and over again. If the cartoons were not printed to provoke muslims but instead to make it clear that freedom of speech is important or what ever, they proved what they wanted, but why on earth do they have to do it again!

If a picture of my mother screwing a man was printed on the frontpage of a newspaper I would find the man who printed it and deal with him myself, these cartoons are much more insulting than what a silly picture of my mother screwing is so what wouldn't I do here.

A man who keeps provoking and insulting muslims in the worst way possible while creating new serious conflicts between the east and the west should be punished or at least stopped, if the fascist government wont do anything about it someone else will.

Sis relax :)

Words are powerful. I, as a writer knows that. Actions of anger won't work. Speeches, articles etc. Spread your objections without causing a scene.
 
:salamext:

^ I'm relaxed. But I don't get what the... non Muslims want!

SUbhaan Allaah.... sis its not that easy.

JazakAllah :D lol

And sis Ahlaam I know it isn't easy. But don't give them the satisfaction of seeing you loose your temper. There are some girls in my college who despise me for some reason, one person told me not to stoop to their level and to simply return their looks of disgust with a smile. It infuriated them.

This is the same thing.
 
:salamext:

So what do u suggest? That we laugh with them?

no no no no no not at all.
Get articles published on sites. Blog a video diary on youtube. Subtle things like this have a bigger impact

Their efforts at silencing speak much louder and more against them then our own protest would. Words are the most powerful weapon in todays era of the internet. Anyone trying to silence another group is almost instantly discovered and shown to be dishonorable.

Those who would try to silence, bona fide peaceful protest loose. The era of physical strength is long gone. today's strength is in the form of knowledge, intelligence and self control.

There is an old adage in the advertising world. to spread an idea, get it talked about. It makes no difference if the talk is negative or positive. silence kills a campaign, not hatred against it.

We have done much more to spread the cartoons than the Danish cartoonists have. by now they are on so many websites and home computers, that it makes no difference how often they are destroyed or what happens to the cartoonist. They will always be available to resurface, anytime somebody wants to get us stirred up and show us as being ignorant and irrational. that is the image we give by acting with violence against them.

Threats are useless as there is no way to determine who or how many people have saved those cartoons on the internet. They have even popped up on here posted by trolls that have been banned. Although they were deleted from here, they will always be able to popup again in the future, when it will serve somebodies best interest to get us angry.
 
I dont expect anything from anyone.

Arguing or a dialog wont help: The dear Sheikh Ahmad Abu-Laban didnt want the violence at first because he expected of the Danish fascist government to apologize. They didnt apologize so he went to their office to start a dialog and make them understand how insulting this in fact was and what this could evolve into. They ignored him and refused to let him enter the building. The Sheihk returned to the mosque and during a friday speech he spoke about the cartoons, how he was ignored and that the next step would be to protest. More than 10.000 muslims protested in Copenhagen but yet the danish fascist government refused to talk to the Sheikh.
The sheikh returned to the mosque and discussed with his people what to do next. The next day the Sheikh flew to the middle east and spoke to many muslim leaders there, they decided to try again and ask for a meeting with the danish fascist government, they were still ignored. The Sheikh had nothing to do with what happend next but he was still proud of it. The danes were sent home and their embassies were burned down, muslims started boycotting danish products, basically the danes lost alot of money! But still nothing happend and Sheikh Ahmad Abu-Laban was still ignored.

The Sheikh triet to start a dialog with the danish fascist government he was ignored, danish companies lost alot of money because of the boycotting the sheikh was still ignored, danes were kicked out of the middle east but the sheikh was still ignored, danish embassies were burned down but the sheikh was yet still ignored. He triet so much so much but they kept ignoring him, they wouldn't even speak to him!

You see we've triet talking to them but they wont give us a chance. They keep insulting us in the worst ways possible, they wont even talk to us! How can they not punish this kind of act! FREEDOM OF SPEECH, FREEDOM OF SPEECH! Yes but what about the blasphemy part!?

You can either sit down and laugh with them, hide pretending that they will stop, or you can stop it yourself.
 
The pen is mightier than the sword.

^ woodrow can i ask, if the muslims were capable of doing more then just spread spreading their point of view... would they even do it?!

times have changed so much...
