Why Prohet Muhammad did not angry but forgive to people who humiliated and pelt him?

Because he is a man of God. Like Jesus said to turn the other cheek. Both Jesus and Muhammad are wise, compassionate and loving people who respect and fear their God and love their fellow man as we all should. Too bad we all haven't caught on. God bless. =)

With all due respect to you,\n\nI reveal two facts that you can choose to believe from your own wisdom;\n\n1. Muhammed "Sinned", he was a "Child Molester"!\n\nhttp://www.geocities.com/AntiJihad/mo_pedo.html\n\n2. Jesus "Never Sinned", He has power over Life and Death!\n\nHis bones are absent from the grave!\n\n\nWho is the One that we should listen to?\n.........................................................\n\nAlso, it is Not ignorance to not want to embrace Islam when you consider the actions of Muslims and their rejoicing in them.\n\nhttp://www.faithfreedom.org/Gallery/14.htm\n\n.........................................................................\nAddition,\n\nDefinition; objectivity\n\nn : judgment based on observable phenomena and uninfluenced by emotions or personal prejudices [syn: objectiveness]\n\nMy conclusions are based on the observable phenomena of "Muslims" "Blowing Up Innocent People"!!\n\nAnd Muslims Murdering people that don't believe in their Religion\n\nhttp://www.prophetofdoom.net/article.aspx?g=406&i=46007\n\nAnd if I was influenced by my emotions, I would be using way, way, harsher, and abusive words than I am using now.\n\nAlso, it was after 9-11 that I started reading the Quran for myself wanting to know about Islam.\n\nAfter reading Muslim sites and History about Muhammed, I found out what a Horrendous and Evil man Muhammed was!\n\nhttp://www.faithfreedom.org/Articles/sina/looting.htm

I don't think the Pope needs to apologize based on my understanding of what was said. As I understand, his comment was from a theological point of view and not meant to be a condemnation of the religion. I guess I think with all of the Muslim violence in the world, Muslims should take a closer look at themselves, fix whatever their problems are and not worry so much about what someone else said, even if it was the Pope.

Hate is not good for any person. I want to assure you that we Muslims also do not hate non-Muslims, be they Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhist or followers of any religion or no religion. Our religions does not allow killing any innocent person regardless of his or her religion. The life of all human beings is sacrosanct according to the teachings of the Qur’an and the guidance of our blessed Prophet Muhammad -peace be upon him and upon all the Prophets and Messengers of Allah. \n\n\nThe Qur’an says about the prohibition of murder, “…Take not life, which Allah hath made sacred, except by way of justice and law: thus does He command you, that ye may learn wisdom.” (al-An’am 6:151) and Allah says in the Qur’an, “Nor take life - which Allah has made sacred - except for just cause. And if anyone is slain wrongfully, We have given his heir authority (to demand Qisas or to forgive): but let him not exceed bounds in the matter of taking life; for he is helped (by the law)” (al-Isra’ 17:33). According to the Qur’an, killing any person without a just cause is as big a sin as killing the whole humanity and saving the life of one person is as good deed as saving the whole humanity. (See al-Ma’idah 5:32)\n\n\nHowever, your question is valid then how come the Qur’an says, “kill them wherever you find them…” as it is mentioned in Surah al-Baqarah 2:191 and Surah al-Nisa’ 4:89. The answer is simple and that is you should read these verses in their textual and historical context. You should read the whole verse and it is better that you read few verses before and few after. Read the full text and see what is said:\n\n\n“Fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for Allah loves not transgressors. And kill them wherever ye catch them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out; for tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter; but fight them not at the Sacred Mosque, unless they (first) fight you there; but if they fight you, kill them. Such is the reward of those who reject faith. But if they cease, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. And fight them on until there is no more tumult or oppression, and there prevail justice and faith in Allah; but if they cease, let there be no hostility except to those who practice oppression. The prohibited month, for the prohibited month, and so for all things prohibited, there is the law of equality. If then any one transgresses the prohibition against you, transgress ye likewise against him. But fear Allah, and know that Allah is with those who restrain themselves.” (al-Baqarah 2:190-194) \n“They but wish that ye should reject Faith, as they do, and thus be on the same footing (as they): so take not friends from their ranks until they flee in the way of Allah (from what is forbidden). But if they turn renegades, seize them and slay them wherever ye find them; and (in any case) take no friends or helpers from their ranks. Except those who join a group between whom and you there is a treaty (Of peace), or those who approach you with hearts restraining them from fighting you as well as fighting their own people. If Allah had pleased, He could have given them power over you, and they would have fought you: therefore if they withdraw from you but fight you not, and (instead) send you (guarantees of) peace, then Allah hath opened no way for you (to war against them). Others you will find that wish to gain your confidence as well as that of their people: every time they are sent back to temptation, they succumb thereto; if they withdraw not from you nor give you (guarantees) of peace besides restraining their hands, seize them and slay them wherever ye get them; in their case We have provided you with a clear argument against them. (Al-Nisa’ 4:89-91)\n\n\nNow tell me honestly, do these verses give a free permission to kill any one any where? These verses were revealed by God to Prophet Muhammad at the time when Muslims w

To answer your original question, it is because Islam will NOT hold their fellow Muslims accountable for their actions.\n\nWhen asked of a Muslim, why doesn’t the Islamic majority in the United Nation condemn the thousands of terrorist acts perpetrated by those of your faith? The answer comes back, “We cannot judge our Muslim brothers. Only Allah can judge them.” Yet when it comes to judging the infidel, there are no holds barred. Now, let us contrast this attitude with what the Bible teaches.\n\n1 Corinthians 5:11-13\nFor what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside? But those who are outside God judges.\n\nThis is the polar opposite to Islam. The Bible teaches that the Christian is to judge the actions of other Christians and call them on the carpet if they are doing ANYTHING unbiblical. However, those who are NOT believers, the Christian is to leave alone, that only GOD will judge them.\n\nSo there is the contrast. If Islam was really concerned about peace, and was a peaceful religion, they would do something to stop these violent people. But don't hold your breath.

Well, they do not "feel" remorse or compassion as most humans do.  I would die of guilt if I purposely killed an animal, let alone a human being (and mind you, some humans are below animals)

islam does not teach peace mercy and forgivenes. it teaches hate racism and the killing of innocent people. what other religion teaches that if you blow your self up you will be rewarded with 72 virgins. this is a crazy an violent religion.

every intellectual when come to about Prophet Muhammad(pbuh) appreciat his personality, He was indeed the great man, unfortunatly the anti-islamics have  corssed their limits in spreading false propaganda about our prophet and i dont know whom they are serving,and now its veyr obvious whts their motive behind but  still they couldnt stop peoples from converting to islam........ ofcourse muslims are least bothered by all those false stories because we know who is our prophet and wht was his personality.  God bless you sister, Good work mashAllah.

Muhammad was born around 570 C.E. in Mecca into the powerful Quraysh tribe and the respected Banu Hashim clan.  Muhammad was orphaned at a young age and so he had different caretakers throughout his formative years.  His father, Abdallah ibn Abd al-Muttalib, died before Muhammad was born and his mother Amina died when he was only six years old.  His grandfather Abd al-Muttalib took over his care, but died two years later.  From then on, Muhammad was cared for by his uncle Abu Talib.  \nMuhammad started out as a shepherd, but he eventually became a merchant.  In his twenties, he met Khadija, a wealthy widow, and became the manager of her caravan.  She was impressed with him because of his integrity and success as a merchant, so she proposed to him, and he accepted.  This marriage greatly improved Muhammad’s financial situation and may be considered somewhat of a turning point for him as up until that time he was a humble orphan.\nMuhammad grew to be concerned with some of the practices he observed among his fellow Arabs.  Some of the pre-Islamic Arabs buried infant girls alive, apparently to avert economic hardship and to avoid the risk of the daughter developing a bad reputation, which would be a scar on the family.  As an orphan, it is no wonder that Muhammad felt a special compassion for these infants, other orphans, widows, the poor, and other social outcasts.  \nMuhammad took to retreating on a regular basis to Mount Hira, where he would meditate inside of a cave.  It is here during one of these retreats that Muhammad the Prophet was born.  He began to receive revelations which frightened him terribly at first.  A voice told him that he was the messenger of God and eventually the presence revealed itself as the angel Gabriel.  Gabriel instructed Muhammad, “Recite!”  Muhammad objected that he was unable to recite, but when Gabriel insisted, he asked, “What shall I recite?”  Then Gabriel revealed to him the very first verses of what would come to be known as the Qur’an, meaning “recitation.”  Muhammad thereafter continued to receive verses until he died.\nHis wife Khadija believed in Muhammad’s message, and soon a few others also converted to the new religion of submission to Allah.  But by and large, in the early years of his Prophethood, the people of Mecca were angered by his teachings.  He criticized the religion of their fathers and had it not been for the protection of his uncle Abu Talib, Muhammad may have been greatly persecuted.  In fact the rest of the Muslims, who were mostly of lower classes, were persecuted to the extent that many emigrated to Abyssinia.  \nIn 619, Abu Talib died, leaving Muhammad without a protector.  His supportive wife Khadijah also died this same year.  These challenges and tragedies in his life did not deter the Prophet, and he continued to receive guidance from Allah.  In one of the most celebrated events of Muhammad’s life, he was sleeping near the Ka’ba when he saw the angel Gabriel come.  The angel cut Muhammad open, removed his heart and entrails, washed them in a golden basin, and placed them back into his body.  Then Gabriel brought Buraq, a magical horse, who took Muhammad on a journey through the sky to Jerusalem.  From there he was taken up through the seven heavens where he reached God Himself.  \nSome men from the city of Yathrib came to Mecca for the pilgrimage in 620, where they met Muhammad and were impressed with him.  They needed a strong leader who could arbitrate in their city, where the tribes were at war.  These men embraced Islam and invited Muhammad to be their leader.  In the year 622, several Muslims emigrated to Yathrib, which came to be known as Medina.  Muhammad himself escaped death to travel to Medina in that same year which was so pivotal that it marked the start of the Islamic calendar.  \nThis move was so important because it was in Medina that an authentic Muslim community, the umma could be established away from the danger of Mecca.

Does it change your conclusion any way. I shall have to look into the Quran to give exact answer. Is it worth? The fact remains that you have already accepted opinion of others that stoning is an excellent punishment. I respectfully differ from those persons because it is the most barbaric behaviour to kill a person by stoning. You are neither reforming him nor deterring others  by such conduct; you are only satisfying the animal within you who has not reformed yet despite a human body.\n\nHowever, the punishment is mentioned in the chapter dedicated to women in the Quran.

Unfortunately the story is mentioned in Islamic history. This is the problem when faith gets mixed with politics. Assissanation and killing opponents is very common among politicians, but it was not supposed to be for a prophet.

If muslims, had adopted the manners and attitude prophet Mohammed passed on to the worlds, shame would over-whelm those who mock him. It is really hard for a good person not to love Mohammed, if they knew what he really wanted for mankind. Its a good reminder for Muslims and non-Muslims alike, that its time to do as prophet Mohammed would have done. Seek peace, understanding, harmony and merciful manners between humans, with one God for all.\n\n"By the grace of Allah, you are gentle towards the people; if you had been stern and ill-tempered, they would have dispersed from round about you" (translation of Qur'an 3:159) \nAbout himself the prophet (pbuh) said \n"Allah has sent me as an apostle so that I may demonstrate perfection of character, refinement of manners and loftiness of deportment." (Malik, Mawatta; Ahmed, Musnad; Mishkat)

Quiet Warrior,\n\nYou have a very good way to look at it. I am reminded that Jesus said, “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.” He was certainly asking His Father not to charge His judges and tormentors and executioners with their offenses against Him, but also they REALLY didn’t understand what they were doing.\n\nIt is very easy to see that they offended Him, but not quite so easy to see that they really didn’t understand what they were doing. Pilate seemed to have a sense that he condemned an innocent man; the high priest uttered prophetically, “It is better for one man to die for all the people,” and the crowd shouted, “His blood be upon us and our children.” One of the thieves realized that Jesus was a good man, and even one of the Roman soldiers realized after Jesus died that He was really the Son of God.\n\nHowever, none of them really understood the significance of what they were doing. That is also true of the people who offend us no matter how deliberate or shrewd they are. If people really understood the nature of their acts, then they wouldn’t do them.\n\nWe all look at an event like 9/11 and are horrified by the carnage, and it is incredible to us that anyone could commit such acts. Osama bin Laden and the other masterminds and perpetrators, in spite of their obvious planning and forethought, had no real concept of what they were doing. If they had your understanding, then they couldn’t have done it, could they?\n\nI can’t understand serial killers or child molesters or rapists or men who hit women, etc. The only way to really understand those things is to be capable of doing them, so I’m thankful that I don’t understand the way they think. By the same token, they don’t understand the way you or I think. It is foreign to them. If they really understood what they were doing then they couldn’t do it, could they?\n\nAnyway, this line of thinking helps me to forgive just as yours does. It is also good to see that if I don’t forgive others, then God can’t forgive me. That’s a really good motivator.\n\nGod bless.

Islam and Muslims are not particular to this kind of reaction and behavior.\nThere are intolerant Jews, Christians, Hindus, in fact in every religion you would find some intolerant people when their religion is attacked by inconsiderate and vile people.\nSome Muslims are easily offended when Western Christians use crude words like Muzzy, attack Allah out of Ignorance,thinking that Allah is a person and especially when such uneducated persons attack the sacred personage  of Prophet Muhammad ( Peace be upon him) and his wife Aisha ( Peace be upon her).\nWhat would amaze you also is that Muslims are equally incensed if Jesus, Moses, Abraham and the Prophets of God ( peace be upon them all) are wantonly attacked by vile and wicked people.\nIt is but natural to defend their belief.\nMuslims do not find pleasure in attacking the God (s) and Prophets (peace be upon them) and religions of other people and civilization.\nThis is what make Muslims so distinct and more civilized than other people\nPeace be upon him who accept true Guidance.

I also think mariane is right, Muslims should forgive. \nWhen Mohammad recaptured the Mecca he didn't go for revenge. He forgave all of his enemies and you know that his enemies killed his beloved uncle "The lion of God" Hamzeh and even ate his liver...\nMaybe the cartoonists found it funny but now I think they don't think its funny.\nOf course if they think I'm a troll because I'm a muslim and I can destroy their dreams they must go to a psychiatrist as fast as possible. It is Islamphobia paranoia and can be very dangerous.

because they are not perfect and because they don't follow the teachings of Islam. \nbut that doesn't mean all of them. \nMuhammad peace be upon him said:\nwomen are siblings to men, the one who treat them generously is a generous person and the one who oppress them is a mean person

justice served.\nand you're right about the martyr thing.\nhe wouldn't be a martyr in the eyes of God, but even giving him the belief that he would be is more than he deserves.\n\nBut... I musn't be so angry with him... shame on me...\nI must forgive.\n\nMoussaoui was granted life by God so that he can amend his ways and seek the true path to fufilling his destiny. Be it Christianity or Islam, or something else.\n\nGod Bless \nto err is human... to forgive divine.
