The author whose book on the life of the Prophet Muhammad sparked the Danish cartoons furore is now working on a new version of the Koran.
The controversial cartoons were published last September by the Danish daily Jyllands-Posten.
They followed a complaint by author Kare Bluitgen that he had not found anyone willing to illustrate a children's book on the life of the Prophet Muhammad.
Bluitgen told the Kristeligt Dagbladet newspaper that he was working on a "readable version" of the Koran, which he described as "heavy going" for ordinary people, which he expects to finish early next year.
"I cannot imagine that this will be quite as controversial", Bluitgen told the newspaper. "A few fanatical extremists may be angry, but that is up to them", he said.
The writer may be a fool, he may be an a**h***, he may be a neo-Nazi in disguise. But he has a Mother. He has family and friends. They can feel pain. He is a unique individual. He has taken years to become the person he is and that cannot be replaced or replicated. Ever. You would destroy something so special, inflict so much pain on so many people, over something you will never see, and would never have heard about if some people trying to make trouble hadn't brought it to your attention? To think that the majesty of God (if He exists) is threatened by this man is absurd. To think that God could not protect His book if He wanted is ridiculous.
You really think your response is the appropriate one? If you think this is what Islam demands you'll not hear a peep out of me on the subject again. But are you sure?
your right, thx man now i feel no intent to really REALLY hurt this man!

It's like wen a big tonk guy is gettin annoyed by a lil kiddy in the playground, he keeps on takin in the innusance, but then, he gets up and smacks him so hard, he passes out....So let's let it go.........No1 is gonna buy or sell that Quran.
wow jazakhallah brother even more peanut breath im flattered...
Why not? Maybe b/c of threats of violence and intimidation?
^ its missing your seal of approval.
"What can my enemies do to me? My paradise is in my heart, it goes with me wherever I go. To put me in prison is to allow me to have a private devotion to Allah. To execute me is to give me martyrdom. And to kick me out of my land is for me to journey in the path of Allah." -Sheikh ibnu Taymiyyah
As with anything, it depends on "the (media) bubble" one chooses to inhabit.
But then again, does it? I came to this forum hoping to find the "religion of peace" that the MSM is always on about, but have found many outright calls for/agreements with calls for such violence and intimidation. i.e. the cartoon fiasco, Abdul Rahman apostate, homosexuality...
Each of us is left subconsciously, in the least, to figure out what % these opinions we hear are of the group in question. So , "many" is an ongoing estimate.
This man is out to cause more hate, not love. Just look at what the cartoons did. If you don't look at the evil, and read it, I feel it cannot touch you..So don't read it..

No, because this is the usual response of many muslims (threats of violence and intimidation) to anything that is harshly critical of islam.
you cant make a minority a majority...and you should understand the anger of these people....i mean muslims are human too...they have emotions and feelings....if you feel strongly about something and see someone insult it in a slanderous manner you would get angry...its innate in humans....
and there is a difference between a downright insult and a criticism...
