I just felt like pointing out something , in light of recent events.
Why doesnt the killing of THOUSANDS of muslims in Iraq, Palestine, etc. spark as much rage in Muslims as a stupid comic??
I mean seriously- there has been internation retaliation to this cartoon, Muslims all over the world are protesting against it. AND YET, when greater crimes (including rape and torture, though mainly murder) are being committed against thousands of our brothers and sisters in these countries by the likes of America and Isreal (i.e. there soldiers), we never see such a reaction of this magnitude. Its really saddening.
Dont get me wrong, im not underestimating the seriousness of these cartoons, i just believe that the situation in certain muslim countries is more serious and worthy of reaction than a cartoon.
It certainly is true that the outrage stems deeper than just the cartoons as I pointed out earlier: The reaction you have witnessed is related to what these caricatures really signify. Muslims feel that there has been an on-going campaign undertaken by many elements within the western media to malign and demonize Islam. Islam and the Prophet Muhammad pbuh has been repeatedly attacked and at a time when we need to reach out and increase our understanding of different minority groups we find that instead misconceptions and slanderous comments are being propagated. When these cartoons were published, the Muslim community in Denmark and other western countries felt that the percieved attack on Islam had now become obvious. The cartoons represented a malicious attempt to malign Islam and incite more hatred towards the Muslim community. This is why the Muslims felt that they needed to voice loud protest and cause the world to realize that we cannot continue to propagate hatred towards others if we intend to promote peace.

Norwegian company Telenor was attacked in Lahore in Pakistan. Computers, mobile phones and other equipment was stolen and the building set on fire.. Yes, the muslims wants revenge, and their "good" morale allowes them to become thieves in the name of the prophet.. Way to go. If I was a muslim in Pakistan I would be ashamed on behalf of these people... When violent thieves starts screaming for justice, something is terribly wrong.. I have to agree with the israeli woman who said that how bad it may seem, at least it is good that other european nations now are able to see what kind of neigbourhood Israel lives in. This clearly shows us what kind of people who wants "justice". Actually we don't need no campaign to malign and demonize Islam. The muslims are able to do this job themselves without anyones help.
That's it! I agree, now the iranians have finally found the ultimate punishment for the danes. No, I am not talking about suicide bombers popping people in copenhagen.. Folks, I give you "The ultimate punishment so far":
They have changed the name of the danish wiener bread (which is very popular in Teheran, so they didn't wanna ban it due to loss of sale) from «anish pastries» into: "The rose of Muhammad". Wow.. If this doesn't do the trick, then what will? I think the danes will go berserk after hearing this. I'm glad I am not in Copenhagen right now. It's the ultimate punishment, right? They will actually not stop selling it, just try to give it a slightly new image. I am impressed. It's like I've always said, "if you're not going all the way, why go at all"?

Just to mention it, in case you wonder, I really like the people of Iran (except for those corrupted religious -------s in charge). It is one of the few islamic countries that I would really like to visit, if it only haden't been for the fact that it was islamistic. I know the hospitality is amazing, and from what I've read, people are both friendly and open. The islamic rulers in Iran however, are as far as I am able to see, insane. Unfortunately, this is something that very often happens when you allow your political system to be influenced by religion. Religious freaks take over the show and ban and supress all oposition.
Just recently I found that in Iran, people are executed for being gay. Mahmoud Asgari and Ayaz Marhoni were Iranian teenagers who first received 228 lashes, whereas they were hanged. Why? They were gay. Now, most of us knows that being gay is not a desease. Why are people gay? Because they are influenced by the devil? Obviously not, you have to be an uneducated moron to believe so. Maybe it is due to some chemical insident that occured while they were being developed in the mothers womb, who knows. Experiments with rats seem to support this theory.
Killing people for something they cannot change is barbaric. It is evil. This is why we should never allow islam to gain any political power in Europe. The sharia punishment for homosexuality is death (Death penalty in seven Islamic nations: Saudi Arabia, Iran, Mauritania, Sudan, Somalia, Somaliland, and Yemen). If it were up to me, there would exist no islamic states at all anywhere. Just to make it clear, it wouldn't exist any christian states either. Religion is fundamentally based on belief and superstition, while politics should be influenced by reason and sensibility. Killing people for being gay is not a very nice thing to do. Nor is it rational. What other people, men or woman chose to do with each other is NOT your nor my concern. All people have to decide themselves how they want to live their life. Islam doens't leave us with this option. Therefor a country gouverned by sharia laws can never be a good country to live in... Just some rambling done by me on this late friday evening...

Well Let Me Say ......''are Cartoons Worse Than Murder''.......they Sure Are, But By The Way Once You Disrespect The Prophet Of Islam, Thats Not A ''cartoon'' Anymore.....watta Bout The Flag Of Your Country, Is That Just A Flag Or Does It Have Meaning.......''remember We Are A People Who Love Death More Than Life''
Um, then go ahead and die then.
How ridiculous can you be?
The flag of my country is a symbol. Nothing more nothing less. And if a person wants to burn it, fine by me.
So, is everyone here equally upset at the long history of Muslims who have leveled every imaginable insult possible towards Jews and their beliefs?
Or do you not care if you have a double standard.
It's just nauseating to see so many people upset over this on some principle they have. Yet when it comes to affording other people the same respect, you seem to think you are exempt.
