you may have trouble removing the images. the prophet was often portrayed in persian art.

Why should Wikipedia remove images of Muhammad? Wikipedia is not subject to Islamic law.

And as snakelegs pointed out, Muhammad was often portrayed in Islamic art anyway. Why don't you urge Muslims to destroy all these paintings, while you're at it.

[genki]

Brother you cant go destroying all the paintings, carpets, canvas etc that his images were made or painted on.

Besides none of those pictures are alike because none of them lived in his time to know what he looked like.


All you can do with wikipedia is let them know its not right in Islam to make depictions of the profit and if they could kindly take it down since its insulting.

There are more important things in your life and within you to worry about.

Finally, seems there's one last hope for that as someone started this petition:
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/2/rem...from-wikipedia

More than 10 thousand signature so far.

Why should Wikipedia honor this petition, even if it has 1.8 billion signatures? Wikipedia is not an Islamic organization.

[Talib_Rayhan]

Wikipedia should honor the petition because the imagery is insulting to a large number of the earths population, Are you saying that all non-Islamic organizations have the right to insult Islam?

And excuse me for asking, But why on earth do you care either way? Your an athiest right? Your two posts in this thread are arrogant and if we were in a real life situation, Im sure I wouldnt take kindly to your tone of voice...

So what?

Are you saying that all non-Islamic organizations have the right to insult Islam?

Of course! Just as Islamic organizations have the right to insult non-Islamic organizations if they so choose.

And excuse me for asking, But why on earth do you care either way? Your an athiest right?

Atheists don't care about things?

Your two posts in this thread are arrogant and if we were in a real life situation, Im sure I wouldnt take kindly to your tone of voice...

I actually think if we were talking in real life, you wouldn't get the impression that I'm being arrogant at all. I think I write more forcefully than I talk, which sometimes gives the impression of arrogance where none is intended.

nope...




oh and yes muslims do have the right to do that, they just don't cause they aren't worried about the other religions to spread.

Qingu, As I can see from your reply, You beleive your tongue is sharper than most swords. You are sorely mistaken.

Your whats known in these parts as a 'Smart-Ass' and as the saying goes, "Nobody likes a smart-ass"

I beleive you to be of those destined for HellFire, and on that note I cease communications with you. Allah (SWT) will do with you as He see's fit.

When unable to reply, resort to an ad hominem. Nice tactic

I'll ignore your hatred and concentrate on the 'buraq' - could you elaborate on your meaning here?

Peace

Theres a big difference between being unable to reply and choosing not to waste time on ignorant people.

PEACE!

It's a tactic that's gaining popularity all the time, it seems. It's a real shame that there are so many people here who genuinely haven't got a clue how to discuss things productively. Still, there are a lot of kids on the forum - they're still learning, so perhaps we ought to give them a break.

Peace

I'm from Iran (or a Persian as called in the previous posts). I don't think offending another nation's history, art and literature, especially an Islamic nation, does any help. Us muslims have enough enemies in the world as it is, why turn on each other instead of being united and like brothers and sisters?

I am against paintings and portraits of the prophet also, but you must also think that the painter is not offending the prophet. Maybe it was his love for him that made him express his love to the prophet by drawing a painting?

Another ad hominem to justify the one before it.
