Do you support muslim reaction (protests) in Pakistan to the mohamed cartoons published in Denmark and France?

They are proving my point about Islam not being a religion of peace, especially since the so called peaceful Muslims are not even condemning the Embassie burnings and other violence.\n\nGee why is that?\n\nHeck im Anti-Abortion but me and my fellow Christians comdemn the murder of Abortion doctors.

My own opinion is that I have met and worked with people from Pakistan and they are just as fine and hard working as anyone else.  However, there are many in that nation that have been seduced by radicalism.  Unfortuantely this makes them less than friendly to the west and it;s values.

It is interesting to note that protestations seem to go only one way.\n \nThe muslim bunch cheerfully ignore "insults" published against "Jews","Buddhists","Shinto's",\n"Christians"," Hindus","Deists", "Rastafarians","Wicca's", "Confucians", "Bahrain's", practioneers of \nVoodoo,  etc. and then riot in the streets when the media portrays Muhammad for what he was, i.e., \na blood-thirsty intolerant tyrant responsible for the deaths of millions of people.\n \nNo doubt they have this attitude as they do not recognize persons they consider as "unbelievers" to \nbe capable of being insulted.\n \nMany muslim dominated countries don't allow other religions holy books into their country and forbid \nthe proselytism within their borders of other religions as if they had something to fear.\n \nMuhammad's  so-called HOLY BOOK specifically calls out for the slaughter of all non-muslims.\n \nIt was his practice when he was alive and this practice remains a part of this groups tenets today.\n \nDeath due to one's beliefs totally dwarfs "cartoons" printed in a newspaper. \n[Death seems to have some degree of permanency]\n \nUntil they disavow this part of their bible, the Qur'an, I see no reason to offer up sympathy for them \nand their religion for this alleged insult.\n \nBTW, I considered the "cartoons" to be to the point and very well done.

I think certain Pakistani's are just grown up with this mentality because their parents believed it was the right thing to dislike the opposite country, and their parents and their parents and so on. And yes, because of muslims vs. hindus. This isn't necessarily always the case though. I am the daughter of 2 Pakistani parents and my husband is the son of 2 Indian parents and neither of our parents have ever had any problems with that. It has never been an issue, no one has even brought up the topic.

Muslims are not few numbers thank god and to your knowledge a great percent of the exported goods from Denmark goes to muslim countries and when muslims prophet and releigion is insulted then its normal to boycott the goods from the countries who insulted thier releigion and prophet which of course will affect the trade

I praise all of the hard work President Musharraf has done to help us. There have been many attempts to Assassinate him for rounding up terrorists. I like most Pakistanis. They are different from us, but that's life.

I know what Muslim terrorists have done to India.  \n\nI have friends whose parents left the Punjab (and came to the UK) because of Muslims burning down schools and attacking worshippers at temples there.  \n\nWhen it started happening over here (7/7/05) they just shook their heads and said "I told you so".\n\nI don't totally trust the Pakistan government - they could so easily clamp down on the Madrassas which are teaching terrorism and British Muslims going there to train as terrorists.  I bet they know where Osama is as well.

I think it's apalling that politicians (especially those currently facing charges of violence against peaceful protesters in the Ghandi Ashram) should advocate the suppression of freedom of expression. Amir Khan should be celebrated for having the courage to see beyond the short term benefits (ie more money locally, large scale investment) a large scale development project brings and instead see the life long harm it can do to those affected by it - those in real need of development funding.\n\nAmir's comments are inline with the supreme courts anyway. I just hope the ban acts effectively to highlight the issue even further, and perhaps go some way to moving society away from corrupt 'bully boy' politics and towards democracy powered by the votes of the people and not the votes of the rupee.\n\nThanks for highlighting the issue. I live in the UK and I'm glad to learn something new.

No. \nWhy should he? He drew cartoons in his own local closed circuit newspaper in his own small village in his own country.\n\nIf somebody had the audacity to bring it alllllll the way out of Denmark, to somewhere in the Middle East, make a big hoo-haa because he knew he'd get more support, raise terrors among innocent people, burn down embassies, boycott Danish products all over the world, and wut-have-you for a small strip of Cartoon (capital C!)...\n\n Well, I think both parties are just about even, what say you?

Why do you complain about Pakistans terror attachments. You must be aware that India initially sponsored LTTE whcih is now the worlds most efficient terrorist groups. Welcome to national self-interest

have you seen the muslims in Bangladesh, South India, South Africa and Latin America? Hindus in Punjab, J& K, Himachal, Nepal, Muaritush?

The cartoon showed a picture of mohammed with a bomb in his turban. \nIt was supposed to be saying that muslims are violent from their early roots. Then they protested through the streets burning european embassies shouting "behead those who insult islam" and didn't do themselves any favours in dispelling that image.

Good for you for sharing that...\n\nThe Mufti of Marseille quoted the same verses...\nHe was angered by the muslim community for demonstrating against the Cartoons \n\nHe said that especially Western Muslims, have benefited greatly from Free Speehc and Free Press...\n\nHe said that those manifestations where the proof that Muslims were week in their faith because they got offended for just a few cartoons of bad tastes. He also says that Criticism helps make one strong and look at himself.\n\nHe also added: That the current problem with Islam in the West and Arab countries is that there are more and more Imam that dont have enough spiritual knowledge of Islam and they are too focused on the political aspect of Islam... Such as the Imam of Danemark that provoked the whole situation...\n\nSo you are right to ask that questions.... But very very very few Muftis and Imams voice the spiritual view of Islam...Mr. Benchek. the Mufti of Marseille is a rare gem (With Balls I might say...).

I am British (Welsh) and am never going to hand over my freedom to any Muslim ranting nutter.\n\nSadly our government is so completely full of PC bullshite that any attempt to stand up against these pieces of scum is attacked as "racism".\n\nThey allow foreigners to come here, take our homes, jobs and freedoms but we are not allowed to stand up against it for fear of being accused of racism. \n\nOur last Muslim landlord (they own half the property in our cities and rip off their non-muslim tenants) stole £5,000 from us, sexually harrassed me, left us with no heating or hot water in the middle of winter and his house which he charged a kings ransom in rent for was mouse infested.  When I tried to complain about him I was accused of being "racist" because he was a Pakistani muslim.  Oh by the way, the guy was also a crook who went under loads of different aliases.\n\nMy BF's boss was attacked and beaten unconcious by a Pakistani Muslim neightbour wielding a police truncheon.    He ended up in hospital with head wounds requiring 15 stitches.  When the police questioned the Muslim guy he said that he did it because BF's boss had called him a "Paki".  So they let the Muslim guy off for this vicious attack but arrested BF's boss (still in pain and suffering from his head injuries) for "making racist remarks".\n\nYou see what we're up against???

i am for free speech!! keep it up!! muslims should learn tolerance just like Christians had too. it is unfair for groups to say it is wrong to depict mohammand but it is OK to depict Christ.

It is a good question, and something that I as a muslim, get very upset about.\n\nFirstly as I am sure you know Islam Completely against Violence.\n\nI think we as muslims do not do enough to make this clear to non- muslims. And we let the fanatics takes over Islam.\n\nThere is a victim mentality, that is always blaming somebody else for what is going wrong. Also there is a problem that muslims to not like to criticise other muslims, even if there are doing something totally wrong.\n\nI live in England, and I have muslim friends who will not condemn the suicide bombers in London because they are muslim, and they say they must have right reasons in their mind for that act. \n\nMany people protest about the Americans in Iraq, quite rightly, but more muslims are killed by other muslims like Zarqawi. I don't see too many people outside Iraq rushing to protest against his actions. Most people are against is actions but why are they quiet. He is as big a evil as Bush.\n\nFor the cartoons I was against them, and I am lucky to live in a country where they are not published, but by protesting against in the way they proved the cartooners right. (it was unaccept for some muslims to say kill all danish) And why do people not get as upset bu terrorist attacts in the name of Islam?? These are REALLY a blaspheme against god.\nAlso it is very unfortunate that some muslims make simular cartoons against jews. The Iranian newspapers response to run a cartoon about the horoculst was appalling and un Islamic. I sometimes think Muslims have double stands like the their criticise the west as having.\n\n\nThe media DO high light bad behaviour by muslims over good, \nBut we are often to blame because WE donot make our voice strong enough when other muslim do bad things in the name of Islam.\n\nIt is easy to fall in a victim mentality, when people attack us and become defensive. \nBUT it is better for us to PROVE the attackers wrong by confronting people who misuse islam..
