When were the Mohammad cartoons first published?
113092
They were actually published in September...\nBut the challenge to draw Mohamed was sent in the summer.... Someone wrote a book about the life of Mohamed... He couldn't find anyone to make drawings... Because every body is scared and fearful with their lives since in Europe, in the last 5 to 10 years many people get assassinated or threats if they make any form or level of criticism about islam...\n\nSo the Danish Newspaper, which is by the way, the most important in terms of readers, decided to participate and give a hand to get over the fear of making drawings of the prophet for the book... the whole thing then came down to a challenge to make a cartoon... Many of the cartoonist actually called on some Muslim cartoonist to get their point of view and they all supported and said go ahead....Why ? Because there are hundreds and if not thousands of books with drawings of Mohamed that were printed in Islamic countries in the last 12 centuries... There are even Billboards currently in Irak and Iran with the face of Mohamed and an Ayatollah by his side... The Koran does not say anywhere that he should not be drawn... So what is the issue ???\n\nThis said,,, there was a Danish Imam that tried to stop the paper from publishing the drawings... LAST SEPTEMBER.... He got booted by the Danish courts a couple of times... then he went traveling all over the Islamic countries .... And by pure coincidence there were 3 extras drawings that were not part of the 12 published... None of the cartoonist made them... THEY were really bad... if you seen what the cartoonist did,,, there is every reason to be confused about the excessive demonstrations around the world and especially those living and educated in the West or outside muslim countries...\n\nSo now the issue is about Censorship !! not respect but censorship.

Islam was founded by Nabi Muhammad saw when he received word from Allah in a prophecy. He began life in Mecca where idolatory was a main fact of life but had to flee to Madinah to escape prosecution in what has come to be known as the Hijrah. Islam spread through his family and friends at first but later his companions known as sahabat continued his work by a number of successful conquests which spread Islam to most of the middle east. Islam reached it high point when Muhammad and his army from Madinah conquered Mecca which was later deemed to the the Holy City.

FIRST CARTOON\nThe first cartoon appeared in Ben Franklin's newspaper The Pennsylvania Gazette on May 9, 1754. It appeared as part of an editorial by Franklin commenting on 'the present disunited state of the British Colonies.'\n\nAnother early cartoon from the 1700's appeared in the Massachusetts Centinel on January 30, 1788. Entitled 'The Federal Superstructure,' the drawing shows a hand helping to raise the Massachusetts pillar to an upright position. The Centinel newspaper, a supporter of the new Constitution, observed that 'The Pillar of the Great Federal Edifice rises daily.'\nhttp://www.earlyamerica.com/earlyamerica/firsts/cartoon/\n\nFIRST ANIMATED CARTOON\nThe predecessor of early animation was the newspaper comic strips of the 1890s. Historically and technically, the first short, animated film (in other words, the first fully-animated film ever made) was Humorous Phases of Funny Faces (1906) by newspaper cartoonist J. Stuart Blackton, one of the co-founders of the Vitagraph Company. \nhttp://www.filmsite.org/animatedfilms.html\n\n1ST TELEVISED CARTOON\nMay 19, 1939- The Walt Disney cartoon Donald's Cousin Gus airs on NBC's experimental station W2XBS (later WNBC-TV) in New York. This marked the first film cartoon to be televised in the United States. \n\nSeptember 1, 1939 - The anticipated outbreak of World War II brings television broadcasting at the BBC to an end at 12:35 p.m. after the broadcast of the Mickey Mouse cartoon, Mickey’s Gala Première, various sound and vision test signals, and announcements by presenter Fay Cavendish. It was feared that the VHF waves of television would act as a perfect homing signal for guiding enemy bombers to central London: in any case, the engineers of the television service would be needed for the war effort, particularly for RADAR. The BBC would resume its broadcasting, with the same Mickey Mouse cartoon, after the war in 1946. \n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1939_in_television

The insensitive cartoonists have a right to print it.  The muslims have a right to protest it.  I wish people would show a little more repsect towards other people and not try to deliberately offend them.  I am not muslim and have no respect for their religion. But as one human being to another, i respect their right to believe it and would not make a mockery of something that may be sacred to them.  I would excpect the same respect.

Remember, the U.S. had nothing to do with that "cartoon"!  get over it.  You don't see Christians burning buildings and killing people when someone draws a cartoon of Jesus!  I have nothing against Muslims.  It's the radical uneducated jerks that need to learn tolerance.

Muhammad (, also transliterated Mohammad, Mohammed, Muhammed, and formerly Mahomet, following the Latin) was an Arab religious and political leader and the final prophet of Islam. Islam is considered by Muslims to have existed prior to Muhammad, in the same tradition as Judaism and Christianity. Non-Muslims consider him the founder of Islam. According to traditional Muslim biographers, he was born c. 570 in Mecca (Makkah) and died June 8, 632 in Medina (Madinah); both Mecca and Medina are cities in the Arabian Peninsula. Because of his success in spreading the final word of Islam and being successful both politically and on many other levels, Muhammad is considered to be one of the most influential people of all time.____For more information go to the website below.
