You should check out some of the other Islamic forums out there. There are places where he has quite a following where to condemn him is seen as 'being ungrateful to his struggles'. Such places also have an "interesting" version of history and events.

Knowing Muezzin, he proberly meant it Universally in the 1st place.

True, but the number of idiots in Islam seems to be growing in correlation with the politicalization of the religion.

Considering the wide array of religious and political beliefs, such a mindset would lead to just about every being banned, even the religions themselves wouldnt be safe.

ie. There are some group thats feel the Qur'an itself is blasphomus and wish it to be banned.

Conversely, there are some palces (Saudi Arabia) where the bible is banned for the same reason.

I think the complete freedom to say whatever you want, but more importantly, to reply in turn is what is the only way to avoid double-standards.Placating "offended groups" is just being elitist.

Hang on, what? What circles?

Seriously, who treats OBL as sacred/holy? That would be unislamic to do so. I think people are missing point that he is just called a hero for fighting the "enemy", "occupationists" and "oppressors", same way one person may see Bush as doing that but no one would say Bush is Holy/sacred though...- Nothing more nothing less. Just because Muslims may defend him does not make it an act of glorifying to a status of sacred/holy, I see no comparison to Isa :RA:, the painter is obviously confused :skeleton:. This ideology comes when people think Islam is somehow involved in this. For the record, I don't support OBL.

If you read it again, she's not saying that at all.

Please re-review the text.
 
Hold on its not only the muslims obsessed with Osama Bin Laden more so non muslims obsess over him and have given him such a high status through their media and other venues even fooling muslims into believing that Osama represents the whole Ummah.

I'm sorry to be controversial, but it would be nice to hear more Muslim voices detatching themselves as a whole from his actions and opinions......

Also, I would like to hope we (non Muslims) are not "obsessed" with the man - in some ways, in my opinion, he doesn't even deserve the time it's taken me to type this sentence.

The media are patially to blame yes of course, but it's like everything else in this world, the rest of us do have a voice (and I mean a voice, not a kilo of semtex), and we know how to use it but we just don't.

Hence the reason for painting it. Its in the comment of the artist that Karina quoted.
 
These things don't even matter to me anymore. Whether its a Christ made of chocolate or a Christ that resembles a mass killer, the "shock" has worn off a long time ago. There are more important things for me to get angry about...like the season finale of The Sopranos.
