How do feel about T-Shirts with the cartoon of Mohammed worn in Italy?

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)

I think it is wonderful your friend wants to wear a sari for a Christmas dinner. Not only is it completely appropriate, but could even be perceived by some to be charming (think about a Scottish man wearing a traditional kilt - this is viewed as charming my many). It is vital that we remember to appreciate cultural traditions for peoples who now live in America. What better time to do this than at the holidays!

I don't want to see an angry terrorist. period.\n\nI don't care if he or she is muslim, christian, or a follower of the flying spaghetti monster. Angry terrorist is enough.

people hated people because of their skin tone. I think you should be able to wear a shirt that says," I love white people, just as they should be allowed to wear theirs.  as long as your opinion(if any) does not infringe on theirs or your liberties.  if you wanna wear it wear it.

T-shirts sound cool........\n\n\n1. White ones with, "Damn, I'm good!" for the good side\n\n2. Black ones with, "The devil made me do it" for the evil side\n\n\nOr some such nonsense ; )

You probably won't get outright hostility, unless you do something of that sort yourself.  I would just say try to blend in, because wearing a turban and white outfit won't bring about a good reaction probably.  Most Americans aren't hostile as soon as they see an Arab (at least I've never met any like that), but after the World Trade Center attack, people might get a little freaked out if you start praying towards Mecca all of a sudden. So just don't do anything to provoke anyone.

♡Well, I'm not Japanese either, but my hubby is and he pretty much agrees with yozora's hubby, in that at least it's worded correctly and it's not offensive to him. ～It's just plain silly, he actually laughed.(*^o^*) But he said some Japanese T shirts say pretty strange things, so, whatever! I had some of my 'girl' friends over for lunch the other day and I showed it to them... they all giggled! (I live in Japan by the way.) They thought it was amusing that some guy might actually wear that. They said they wouldn't want to be seen with a guy wearing that though. You could probably get a nice Japanese girlfriend easily without the shirt they said. A smile would probably do it. 'Chotto hazukashii!' they said. ～I agree with you, I find it amusing too and the design is in good taste, but I personally wouldn't wear it. (*^o^*)Then again what do I know?♡

Since some of those cartoons were also published in an Egyptian paper months earlier (presumably to condemn them), then I guess the Danish aren't alone.\n\nBesides, Danish laws of free expression apply to people in Denmark. If you want the cartoons to be censored because of other peoples's laws, then you should be ready to accept outside judgments on your culture as well.\n\nAnd besides again, the protests are driven much more by local politics than the nature of the cartoon.

I feel you should leave a person's custom alone if you don't believe in it. Why not ask an Arab friend how it feels to walk into an airport and if you can't because you have none, leave it alone. An Arab and Muslims hold their customs sacred and it should not be belittled as an "experiment".

Hello Heron by the Sea :-)\n\nI can tell you about England which I think culturally is one of the more similar countries to America...\n\nI am a Muslim women...and I first started wearing my hijab about a your ago. To be honest I felt quite scared, but felt I had to do it for religious reason...I believe this is what the Quran has told me is the best way for a woman to dress...\n\nWhen I first wore the hijab I was really scared that people would stare at me, and treat me much different... I was particularly worried how the non-Muslim population would react...\nBut honestly nobody has ever said a rude thing to me..and everybody treats me like a person and talks to my face, I honestly don't think alot people even notice or think about me wearing the hijab..The only slight change is that maybe people or a little more respectful. Teenage boys for example no longer look me up\nI think in general England is a good place to wear the hijab...\nI have every right to wear it at school or work, and the law supports. Sports centers have special women only times, or I can wear special Muslim type sports gear...There really is much accommodation.\nI don't think it is too unusual to see women wearing Hijab now, and I think most people are used to it.\nIn the city where I live it is very common.I live in an Hindu area so not many people there wear hijab..but there are still a few. And I don't feel I stand out. In the city centre it is very normal to see young women wearing hijab. We like to shop a lot :-) And there are a few areas where maybe 90% of women wear hijab! So not unusual at all.\nIn the countryside where there are not many Muslim women people are still very polite...I guess they just think I am something exotic from the city!\n\nThe only negative changes I notice is a lot of people think I'm foreign now (that could be because of my colour, must British Muslims have darker skin than me) and I often have to prove my nationality with my passport when going to the doctors etc, which I didn't have to do before..I get asked often where are you from, what language you speak (this happen before a little - because I must have some exotic look!- but know it happens much much more) etc. and sometime people talk a little slowly to me aswell.\n\nI have a friend that wears Niqab (covering everything except your eyes) and she finds thing similar to I except she lives near a football stadium and on match days she is often subject to abuse. She tell me she is not upset just sorry for the abuser because often they are men who do that infront of their children!\n\nI have not traveled much to non-Muslim countries since wearing the hijab but I can tell the general public attitude , if not the law, is similar to the UK.\nI found people very helpful to me, for example telling me the food which are Halal so I knew what I could eat..\nBut whilst in England most think I'm non-native, and think I don't the know language. In France and Belguim the converse is true. When I'm not wearing hijab, people almost always change very quickly to English because my French is not good. But wearing the hijab nobody does because they all assume I'm a knew immigrant who has not yet learned good french rather than a tourist.\n\nI hope that helps you :-)

I don't believe it's a matter of being appropriate or not.But the idea behind the "holocaust" cartoons is to turn the tables on the whole free press argument given by the european newspapers.They've claimed (Le Monde,Die Welt, etc)that freedom of expression justifies their publishing such cartoons.I think they've forgotten there are two concepts there,of which freedom is the more important and it implies respect towards others and their beliefs in this case.\nMy freedom ends where another person's begins.\nI understand the muslims rage but i don't support their violent reactions.Still the course of action taken by some of these european newspapers is not helping.\n( i'm a catholic)

Well.. this is one Question.. I knew from the onset I would NOT be answering..\n\nThe perverse unInformed dumb a** that those people are who circulating this..\n\nBorn & mostly been living in India, we see some strife between Hindus' & Muslims..\n\nBut even then we (as Hindus' n am sure the Muslim brotheren too) know more about each other..\n\nfor the umpteenth time... ISLAM FORBIDS PUTTING A FORM TO THE Holy Prophet..\n\nOkay?? is it now understood that, when even thinking of Him as having a: form/a body IS NOT PERMITTED.. making cartoons would be the last thing finding peace with followers..\n\nMost Hindu Gods have their images printed against lingerie & Inner Wear.. & Gods rubbing against crotches isn't exactly comforting for their followers..\n\nThink of it, replace the ones you are followers of..\n\nIf you still do.. I dont even want to puke on your face :(

Well, if they like Dolphins it is okay.  It may be a conversation piece.  Preferably, I have bracelets that have dolphins on it, Noah's ark on another, and a plain chainlink bracelet and I wear the plain one and I couldn't tell you the last time I wore the animal one's.  It made me feel kiddish.  Obviously you want it worn alot if you mentioned the price.
