Why from Scandinavian mythology , muslims considered trolls and feared of awaking and destroying dreams?

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.

Ahh, religion is full of guilt and rewards... A little too conveinient wouldn't you say...  Religion is man made, so it is full of the wildest dreams that man can have...

Because they believe in god.  I've found that people that believe in god tend to get upset really quickly.  Especially in the middle east.  They beat women with sticks if they show their ankles or drive a car.  They shoot you if you draw a cartoon and call it Muhammad.  BTW, Here's my depiction of him  []8^(>>>\n\nReligion gives people an outlet to take out their own frustrations on other people.  Just the same that a good dead baby joke does.

yes, he is from India, but he raised muslim and label himself as Muslim.  and maybe now he is like me Ex-Muslim.  of course his story is just like the danish cartoons,  his assistanst in publishing satanic verse, the controversial book, had been killed most of them or all are not Muslims because of Fatwa of Ayatollah Khomaynee Iranian leaders and also other Islamic clergies.

Muslims have waged war against non-muslims for some 1400 years now, ever since islam began. While they (or their "leaders) may say they dont feel safe, it is all words. It would be better off put that muslims will not feel safe until they have converted the entire planet to islam.\nNot too suprisingly, other people dont want to convert to islam...\n\nbak2the - just to let you know, muslims DO demand that you become a muslim and during a muslim wedding, the non-muslim wife (as women are not allowed to marry non-muslim men) is AUTOMATICALLY converted to islam during the ceremony.\n\ntheluke - You really need to study world affairs before you state that islam ONLY hates the usa and england... indeed islam is attacking many non western countries, from the sudan were 200,000 christians were murdered by muslims, to thialand, to the phillipeens, to india... and other countries as well. Islam is attacking all over the planet, This behavior has nothing to do with the "west" as it has been going on since 1400 years ago.

because muslims don't let go perverts and mass murderers. If you do wrong, you are punished, that keeps the rest from trying bad stuff.\nIn western socity, you  may do a lot, and have bigger chances of getting away with it.

I am a christian. I have nothing to do with this. I live in the USA.  I looked at the cartoons, and I think they were attempting satire.  Some cartoons were neutral, but I could see how others may offend you. I understand your feelings. I think I might be offended if they made cartoons of Jesus like this..There are stupid people in the world who are not sensitive to God or the feelings of others....there is no way to make stupid people smart....I would like to at least say I am sorry for you that this happened....I pray that this unhappy situation gets resolved, and the Danes apologize to you....and you can go back to living in peace....Since I do not live in Denmark, I cannot help you.  Maybe you can contact the Danish Embassy in your country and complain there....I can try to contact the embassy here in the USA and tell them that this is offensive to you....there would be more peace on earth if people would just love each other, and not hurt each other's feelings....

to impossible_dream: \n\nFirst, muslims dont think that christians or jews are evil. So your statement is wrong. YOu said that you dont want to know more than that. Therefore, you cant make a statemtn on Islam because it will be extremely biased. Secondly, the one andonly information you have is wrong, and that means you have absolutely no idea about Islam.\n\nMost educated non judgemental people are right. Its what is perceived in the media that causes all the judgements. And you really cant blame them. These so called "muslim" dictators are all over the media, all over the world. Thats why there is a lot of misconception.\nUnfortunately, when a good muslim cleric tries to resolve the problems, people think he is also one of them, since he looks like them, the turban, the beard, the clothes.\n\nPeople should start looking to what people have to say, not what they look like.\n\nHowever, its good to know that some people know that the problems are caused by extremists who have nothing to do with Islam.

U agree with godswondi.... in fact there is interesting Arabic proverb which makes fun of ignorants way. it said "take them away with loud, you ll win"   meaning, if you shout shout shout, they will stop talking and you will win the arguement!!  \nit is the same way.  when Danish apologize and more europe concern, they said it is victory, I read this on several websites such as the comments of readers of Al-Arabia nad those alike.  \nSome said that without force the world will not act.  this is also cited by an egyptian famous writer (Najeeb Mahfooz), but maybe he has no choice only to say that, cuz he was victim of Islamists for his secular publications and criticsm to Islam.  once they attempted to murder him, they stabbed him, as far as I remember, around the neck.

I think you're referring to Norse mythology, which was sort of a religion.  Here's a link to give you a good bit of info.

muslims believe the world is rightfully theirs, its just a matter of time. They are allowed to lie about their religion in order to take it over. It is no wonder that they say they are a peaceful religion while in every single country where muslims are in control the Christian are persecuted and martyred. This is going on right under your noses. go to Africa or india and see whats happening to the christians in those places where the muslims are in control

1) Muslims are angry that while any criticism/joking about jews is often labeled anti-Semitic and quickly censored (it's illegal to question any aspect of the Holocaust in many European countries), the same countries are defending these cartoons as "freedom of speech".\n\n2) Many Muslims incorrectly believe that the Danish press, like theirs, is controlled by the state. Therefore, they see the cartoons as being sponsored and encouraged by the Danish government.\n\nPersonally, I disagree with them, and believe that \nAs for Christian outrage, look what NBC did with Will & Grace (Cruci-fixin), as well as how "The Book of Daniel" got axed.\n\nWe need to educate these people about the concepts of freedom, that people may say stuff you don't like, that's no reason to burn stuff.

I think its because they are scared and jelous of some other religions. they are the biggest religion and they want the rest of the world to follow them.

I think Native Americans feel the same about the sudden popularity of "shamans" and sweat lodges among those who don't know.  And I've also heard that some Muslims, at least, have issues with the Nation of Islam.  \n\nI think in all cases, it starts with someone on a spiritual quest trying to find something to bring them closer to God.  They do not intend to mock, but they do not study in depth.  They take a few ideas, some rituals, and cobble together something they feel comfortable with.  They do not intend to offend and I don't think they realize they do.  Then they pick up followers who have less of an idea....\n\nPlease don't feel that they are mocking you or your beliefs.  They aren't -- they just don't understand.  They mean well and they may indeed be extremely religious -- just not in the way you are used to!  It is possible to be extremely religious and sincere in your longing to draw closer to God without understanding the history or beliefs behind some of the rituals you have copied.\n\nIt is possible to be a Christian without following the rituals of the Catholic church.  There are many varieties of Christians, Muslims, etc.  From my reading, I think there are also many varieties of Hindus.  Can't you just see them as a small sect -- even if they don't understand your religion as you do?  I'm sure it would be easier for you to do that than it is for most Christians to deal with the Westboro Baptist Church (the bigots who picket funerals of gays) or for moderate Muslims to deal with having their religion smeared by the actions of a few terrorists.
