Now it is time for you Muslims who preach peace and love to stand up and be counted or line up with the brutal killers.   Stop the support of those who supposedly destroy your religiona and use you as pawns.   Change your name, do just what Christians when they have leaders that have gone astray.    Does Mohammed stand with the brutal killers?   How long will you betray your religion of peace?   Now, move to higher ground.\n\nThe publishers of this tape truly invite war with the rest of the world, is that what you want?

Education is a good thing but in some cases a little of it is dangerous and I feel in your case it is extremely dangerous. \nIdiocy is bestowed on the few by God we are told and by god you are gifted.

As far as I understand it, it is against their own religion.  Therefore they are being inconsistent and hypocritical.  Mohammed was a peaceful leader and yet they blasphemed his name themselves by rising up in such a violent way to 'protect' his good name during the incident of the cartoons.  What of the fact that they have slandered the Christian icon Jesus?  Yet, they don't expect Christians to rise up against them do they?  \nOr is that what they want?  Another holy war to make life interesting?  To lose their loved ones in bitter rage in the name of religions that have both preached peace and love (in spite of admitting only one God)?\nIf it were a matter of severe oppression and humiliation it would be understandable, but still not justified in the eyes of their own religion.  But it is not.  Muslims are accepted worldwide nowadays due to religious tolerance.  They are making THEMSELVES feared and hated through their own actions.  Should others rise up against their religion in the name of their own (as of old) and try to dominate them in the name of THEIR one true God?  Perhaps this would gain a grudging respect from Muslims and matters might calm down.

well said, baryoshaa..\nI commend your feeling.\nBut, i asked this not to justify any of religion or to hurt any religion including Islam.\n\nbut... all of your statements about "Would it be fair to blame all Christians for what Adolfe Hitler did to the jews, and all those who refused to join christianity?" and so on.\n\nisn't that what most "muslim" in yahoo answers did? -notice i put quotation- (as a sign of trying not to generalize)\nI've seen that actions all the time done by many of the yahoo answers participants who claimed to be muslims..\n\neverytime any q start to argue about validity of islam, many of them always resort to "Christian BAD BAD BAD..."\ninstead of just genuinely answer the q.\nwhy they assume the asker is Christian?\n\nLike what you did...just now.\nIsn't it possible that the people who question them are kids or some ignorants who could very well be muslim (who doesn't do his homework in reading the Quran).

My icon rocks. First, its says that Islamic threats have not intimidated, I hold free speech highest in the pecking order of civil rights.\n\nNext, Ive receieved more death threats as a result of my Icon which must be a good thing coming from religious wacko freaks.\n\nAlso, I show respect for the brave Danish cartoonist who knowingly, IN ADVANCE, risked his life for free speech and will be looking over his should for life.\n\nFinally, Islamic insanity is the eptiome of religious insanity and thus to mock Islam, with all its intimidation, is to put me on the top of the agnostic/atheist pecking order by a long shot.

This link gives more details\nBecause the core of the story is not related to the printing of the orignal and "genuine" 12 cartoons...\n\nAt the end of the link, the dark brown pics are the added cartoons that many say, the Danish Imam added when he wanted to create reactions from the muslim countries (5 months after the incident !).\n\nIf you have, like the Mufti of Marseille would say, maturity in your faith (if you are Muslim) the 12 original Cartoons should not make you react. Like the Mufti of Marseille says, Mr. Benchek, freedom of speech has been an essential aspect of how muslim live in the West. The reactions are proof that Muslims are not strong in their Faith and feel insulted for just a few pics of bad taste (he was reffering to ONLY the original Cartoons and not the Mysteriously 3 added ones...)\n\nMake sure you read throughly to distingish what is said.... Because if you only "look" you will be another one of the manipulated persons, which ever side of the coin you are on.\n\nCiao !

Yet another Bb (Bush basher)\nListen this is about changing the world for the better.\n WE KNOW people like YOU don't understand it.\nIt's beyond your comprehension.

We should kill them all for that oil.

From everything I've seen in today's current events, those sites seem to be very acurate. I've checked them out before, and everything is documented by former muslems. As far as hostilities toward you by muslems here on Yahoo goes, that seems to be their nature everywhere. We can all say we know peaceful muslems, but we don't know how peaceful they would be in another environment. We do know of the atrocities and inhumanities perpetrated because of a few cartoons. It doesn't surprise me that the hostilities extend to this forum. You will certainly be villified by some because of this question. Their villification of you, is an attempt to hide their own inhumanity. The ones that vilify you here, are the same ones that would torture and murder you in a different setting. THEY WILL TRY TO SAY THAT YOUR QUESTION EXPRESSES HOSTILITY TOWARD ISLAM. That is how they deal with truth.  So don't take it to heart.

I think that it is about time we put this murderer out of commission.  \n\nReichman2007, you feel sad for all of us?  Why?  Because we are pleased to know that one less heartless murderer is no longer a threat to the innocent, peace loving, men, women and children that he has PERSONALLY murdered or decapitated over the years?  Including (more likely than not) your fellow country men!   Ideally, peace and love would fill the entire world.  But it doesn't.  That is not my choice, as I am sure it is not yours either.  So what would you rather us do?  Allow him to kill, behead, rape and torture?  There will never be 100% acceptance behind any killing, of any sort.  And personally I believe that is a good thing....I may not agree with your position, but you are helping me see the other side.\n\nFor me, I am pleased that former terrorist is no longer with us.  Fear gives terrorists "super-human-like" power and today, the troops of the U.S.A. and collation countries, showed the world terrorists are mere mortals.  He was a man, an evil man and  that is it!

Personally, I'm a Christian and an American and I don't think that the Muslims are trying to take over the world. Yes, they are angry at what's been done with the cartoon because those idiots in Denmark (not all the Danish) insulted and degraded their beloved prophet Mohammed. It was wrong of them to do this to the Muslim people. Yes, I do agree that what the ones that are committing the violence are wrong and it must be stopped,  but I do understand their outrage though it does not justify violence and bloodshed. The Muslims have been treated very badly since Osama Bin Ladin did what he did because he claims to follow Islam. He used his religion to promote violence and terror and that is what really started the hatred and fear of the Muslim people. He is not a true Muslim. The situation with the Muslims and the rioting is boiling over and the Muslim leaders need to act now before there is anymore bloodshed. We in America are being blamed because the middle east has issues with us anyway and it's easier to direct their anger toward the US but the Muslims that are attacking America for what Denmark has done, are wrong and on this, they owe us an apology. We had nothing to do with Denmark's blasphemy towards Mohammed and they are wrong in blaming us. I defend the good Muslims but I will certainly speak out against those that are wrong. They, like us, don't know everything there is to know about each other and our customs and religions. Perhaps if we would all take the time to learn about one another, we would find peace. Still, Muslim or Christian, we are all one family under God and it's time to realize that and heal. God bless.

I've already commented on this countless times, both on and offline, and I am completely sick and tired of this whole ludicrous situation. Having said that, here goes...\n\nAny reasonable person with an open mind and a rudimentary understanding and appreciation of freedom of speech, freedom of expression, freedom of the press, et al KNOWS that the Danish newspaper was 100% within their rights to publish those caricatures of Mohammad. \n\nAs evidenced by some of the responses here (most notably the one from Pakistan above), the Muslims who are rioting in the streets, making death threats, boycotting Danish products, etc. are completely unreasonable. They cannot see beyond their own personal biases (Mohammad may be #1 with you, mate, but he's not #1 with me and 5-6 billion others who are sharing this planet with you) and have no conception of tolerance -- to say nothing of free speech.\n\nThe Danes are a free and tolerant people allowing their media to express itself freely, irrespective of whether or not the majority of Danes agree with what is printed. Any civilized country handles such matters in much the same way. We're talking about political CARTOONS, for Godsake!\n\nBut the fanatical Muslim fundamentalists and their terrorist host countries (Iran, Syria, et al), on the other hand, have absolutely no understanding of what it means to have free thought, free expression and tolerance for the views and beliefs of others. Whatever the perceived slight or "offense," these people can be counted on to react with excessive outrage and extreme violence (erm, what is that telling us about their religion, btw?). \n\nNothing short of the rest of the world converting to Islam tomorrow will appease these villains. So you know what? I couldn't care less about appeasing or even trying to understand them anymore. Fuck 'em!\n\nGod bless Denmark and Freedom!

I've tried reporting the pedophiles and terrorists and "yay two points" answers but the staff are asleep at the wheel!

No, I don't! I'm sick of all this persecution based on religion/culture. Do I disagree with Muslims on many points and take issue with their actions? Yes. Do I think that because I disagree with them they are barbarians who don't deserve to live? No. It would be horribly egocentric of me or anyone else to declare themselves a moral authority and decide and entire people don't deserve to live. Someone else gave themselves that same sort of moral authority about sixty-five years ago. His name was Adolf Hitler. I'm glad to see we've all learned so much from the past. Way to promote bigotry, world.

(this isn't an answer directly to the question but is just a comment on the latest answer that has been posted...)\nthe words you have written clearly speaks of your lack of knowledge in what you are supposedly trying to comment to...\nfirstly, the Bible speaks of those things, correct but it doesn't lie on the same plane as the argument being presented in the question...we don't condemn the violence in Koran or like what happened in the Bible...it is simply a question of faith and what kind of leader you are following....\n\n\nIslam: "Religion of Peace" \n\n"Those that make war against Allah and His apostle and spread disorder in the land shall be slain or crucified or have their hands and feet cut off on alternate sides, or be banished from the land. They shall be held up to shame in this world and sternly punished in the hereafter." (Sura 5.33-34) \n\n"Allah revealed His will to the angels, saying: 'I shall be with you. Give courage to the believers. I shall cast terror into the hearts of the infidels. Strike off their heads, strike off the very tips of their fingers!' That was because they defied Allah and His apostle. He that defies Allah and his apostle shall be sternly punished by Allah." (Sura 8.12-13) \n\n"In order that Allah may separate the pure from the impure, put all the impure ones [i.e. non-Muslims] one on top of another in a heap and cast them into hell. They will have been the ones to have lost." (Sura 8.37) \n\n"Muster against them [i.e. non-Muslims] all the men and cavalry at your command, so that you may strike terror into the enemy of Allah and your enemy, and others besides them who are unknown to you but known to Allah." (Sura 8.60) \n\n"Prophet, make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites, and deal harshly with them. Hell shall be their home: an evil fate." (Sura 9.73) \n\n"When We resolve to raze a city, We first give warning to those of its people who live in comfort. If they persist in sin, judgement is irrevocably passed, and We destroy it utterly." (Sura 17.16-17) \n\n"We have destroyed many a sinful nation and replaced them by other men. And when they felt Our Might they took to their heels and fled. They were told: 'Do not run away. Return to your comforts and to your dwellings. You shall be questioned all.' 'Woe betide us, we have done wrong' was their reply. And this they kept repeating until We mowed them down and put out their light." (Sura 21.11-15) \n\n"When you meet the unbelievers in jihad, chop off their heads. And when you have brought them low, bind your prisoners rigorously. Then set them free or take ransom from them until the war is ended." (Sura 47.4) \n\n"Mohammed is Allah's apostle. Those who follow him are ruthless to the unbelievers but merciful to one another." (Sura 48.29)\n\n__________________________________________\n\nPeople perish because of the lack of knowledge.

Dorie, I hope to god you're just some kid of 16 or so.  If you're an adult, our nation is in serious trouble.\n\nIraq and Afghanistan have democratically elected governments.  Everyone is invited to particpate in the political process.  However, the terrorists do not want to share power.  They want a strict, Islama-fascist state where they rule as tyrants.  They want sole power.  They want to impose their will on everyone.  There will never be any peace until these people are eradicated.\n\nThese people are not "freedom fighters".  You can't fight for freedom when your own country is already free!\n\nThere is a huge difference between being for peace and being anti-war.  Throughout history, some conflicts simply could not be resolved by peaceful means.  Nazi Germany could have been given endless concessions, but they would have waged war against its neighbors anyway.\n\nThese terrorists are the same.  Please, learn from history.\n-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\nI see that Dorie really wants to drive home the point that Christ would not kill anyone.  She is correct, for many reasons.  First, if Christ came down in human form, the Islamic zealots would kill him on sight the first chance they got.  They would shout, "filthy infidel, false prophet, denier of Muhammed".\n\nThen they'd kill him, spit on him, drag his body through the streets, and then hang the corpse from a bridge.  Oh wait, they already did that with our soldiers who were trying to liberate them from Saddam..... so maybe the loving followers of Muhammed would come up with a more original way to slaughter Jesus.\n\nSo, back to the question:  who would Christ kill?  If he survived the Muslim crowds, he might try to preach to them.  That's how he gained notoriety, through rational discourse.  Of course, the Muslims might get bored with someone who doesn't just mindlessly shout "JIHAD, JIHAD", while pumping his fist in the air, so a few people might start throwing stones.  Jesus could try preaching inside, but there's that whole dirty infidel thing.... I don't think they'd let him in the Mosque.\n\nBack to reality.... if Jesus came, he wouldn't have to kill anyone.  He has supernatural powers.  We don't.  We have to make the tough decisions about how to help civilize countries that have previously only known only the iron-fisted rule of a tyrant.  Converting to democracy is a messy process.  Some people just don't want to play nice.\n\nYeah, Jesus wouldn't have to kill anybody.  He's lucky.

You make some good points. It's amazing how so many people can deliberately ignore calls from Muslim leaders, even in "moderate" countries, to kill or convert all non Muslims. Were it up to me, we wouldn't give a penny to any of those monsters.
