What do u think about the abuse that happend by drawing prophet MOHAMMED?
149447
the abuse is  being from the following aspects :\n\n1- muslims never had the drawing of thier prophet mohmmad peace be upon him approved or accepted  by all mean , since we were in kindergarten they taught us about him , about how did he struggled to awake  the mankind by teaching them the REAL islam , the religion of peace and love ,which nobody knows about it today , you only know the damaged version , the tortured-image version , so they never told us this is his picture , we didn't wish to see his face as much as we wished to be capable of applying all things he ordered us to do and follow , that's why we feel insulted when they draw him , and what a draw ! oh please ! did you see those cartoon , please? now if you don't like the way our faith  and religion is , please don't bother yourself with it , buddhist or hindus can worship a cow , we don't like somebody to draw our prophet , any problem?\n\n2- again , if it was just a nice picture for a sweet man who looks gentle , maybe some muslims around the world  would appreciate that ! they may say now we can imagine a good picture for our prophet and we may feel we are closer to him , but what happened is all far from this , they depicted him in the worst picture a muslim can posess : \n\n      a - some muslims knows nothing about islam , they don't really follow the right islam , they bomb others and kills innocent without being in a legal war , now , when those danish draw our prophet wearing a bomb on his head , and moreover written on it the sentence that 1.300.000.000 muslims say each day in each pray in 5 prayers ( la elaha ella allah ( no true god but allah ) mohammad rasolo allah ( mohammad is the messenger of allah) ,  for god sake what reaction are you waiting for ? he was blaming his fellows if they kill an insect or an animal without a purpose ! this is the real islam how dare they put a bomb above his head , peace be upon him .\n\n      \n     b- " We ran out of virgins " , what a cartoon!!!! you won't even allow me to depict your father doing that  , or even your bf , then how can i keep silent when the one i believe he is the best man of humanity is being depicted like that ? our prophet had 12 wives , yes , but please did the one who drew the cartoon read islam histroy before doing that? did he know where did each wife of them came from? did he know that we call them  -his wives- :" mothers of believers " , and all muslim women try to follow them in the fabulous way  they lived , can't I say : objection please , this is very offensive !! \n\n    c- a man with a beard and a knife in his hand ,,,  and 2  women behind him with the dress more than 30.000.000 million women in the islamic world usually wear it ( included iran and saudi arabia ) ( i.e : vail and long black dress and only eyes appear) , please  , what kind of freedom was that ? what kind of human those who are going to accept it? \n\nthat was a description of 3 out of 12 cartoon , how was that? convinsing?\n\nnow , continueing my points : \n\n3- the world care so much about the human rights , right ? human rights knows no time or specific place to be applied at , let's ask those who don't believe in our prophet mohammad peace be upon him and they made cartoon about him : doesn't he has human rights like all others? if some people who claim to follow him did bad things to you , what's his fault ? a simple example : if a man killed your father , what is his son guilty for? \n\nand  imagine , after all what i have just said  , good muslims around the world  have condemned burning embassies and killing or destroying anything because it's anti-islamic behaviour , they  called only for boycott , the simplest right,\n\n so now who owe the other one an apology and who's the real guilty?

So according to Muslims, you're an infidel.\n\nInteresting.\n\nSlobodan killed many of your ex-people in Bosnia.\n\nI feel sorry for him because he seams to have been a naughty boy, like many other naughty arrogant boys on earth today. \n\nNaughty boys don't score well with thier Creator. Naughty boys are promised an eternal hell, where there is no death, and where food is rotten and ulcerating. \n\nHell is a horrible place, and that's why I would feel sad that some people didn't figure it out in thier short lives, that injustice is not permissible, under any condition.\n\nThe Creator of the Earths and Heavens did not allow himself to commit injustice, so it's only normal that He will severely punish those who took away the lives of innocent people.

*Shaking my shaggy skull* While I believe that bounties to kill, killing, violence of any kind is wrong, seems a lot of people either forget or just dun understand some basics...\n\nTop of the list, that cartoon to a Moslim is highly highly insulting thing and basically is like 2 "You shall have no other gods besides Me...Do not make a sculpted image or any likeness of what is in the heavens above..."\n\nI mean how would a christian feel if a cartoon was made showing say jesus performing homosexual acts? They wouldn't like it, not one little bit and would be screaming bloody murder...\n\nNext, frankly the Middle East has gotten the short end of the stick from the western society for a loooooooooong time. Now the top superpowers are invading them one country at a time. They are fed up and I dun really blame them for it.\n\nLastly the cartoonist should have known better, so should have the papers that printed them. When the Moslims said "Hey, we don't like that!" an apology should have been made right then and there. But instead all they got was arrogance.\n\nNow before anyone says "But we have freedom of speech and creativity." Do we really? I certainly couldn't put the before mentioned cartoon of jesus in a national/continental newspaper. It would have been nixed purely because it would upset people.\n\nSo before calling them insane, imagine how you would feel if the roles were reversed and it was your savior that was shown in a nasty light...

Well I think its a shame what both religions are saying about each other i have argued with so called Christians about calling Muhammad a pedophile many times here on answers...It is debatable the age of Aisha and the culture and times would not have made him a pedophile. It gets ugly while i was trying to defend Muslims they were posting sites that absolutely lied about God and Christians and the Bible so it cuts both ways. As a Christian I am more offended by folks calling themselves Christians and acting inappropriately...but such is the way of the world I guess.

The Mohammed cartoons did not limit any Muslim person's ability to practice their religion.\n\nMaking images of Mohammed is banned in Islam.  But this prohibition doesn't apply to non-Muslims, even though some Muslims seemed to think it does.\n\nAs a Catholic, I've seen and heard derogatory and offensive things about Catholicism that make the Mohammed cartoons look tame by comparison.  \n\nI think this kind of stuff is highly offensive -- but that's part of living in a society where we have free speech.  It means that occasionally, we have to put up with something offensive.\n\nOffensive anti-Catholic material is, to put it mildly, not what I like to see or read -- but I don't feel it has ever limited my ability to practice my religion.

The extremists feel that ANY DEPICTION OF MUHAMMAD is blasphemy.. The depiction of him with a bomb with a lit fuse is a GLARING ATTACK on the fundamentalist Islamic faith..\n-------------------\nBorn Muhammad ibn Abdullah, he is said to have initially been a merchant who traveled widely.\n\nMuhammad often retreated to the mountains outside Mecca, for prayer and contemplation. Muslims believe that in 610, at about the age of forty, while praying in one of these mountain caves called Hira, he was visited by the Angel Gabriel who commanded him to memorize and recite the verses sent by God. These verses were later collected as part of the Qur'an. Gabriel told him that God (Allah in Arabic) had chosen him as the last prophet to mankind. He eventually expanded his mission as a prophet, publicly preaching a strict monotheism and warning against a Day of Judgement where all humans shall be held responsible for their deeds. He did not completely reject Judaism and Christianity, two other monotheistic faiths known to the Arabs; rather he said that he had been sent by God in order to complete and perfect their teachings. Many in Mecca resented his preaching and persecuted him and his followers. Muslims believe that this was in part due to his followers' holding Muhammad's authority above that of their leaders. Eventually, persecution followed and in 622, he was forced to flee from Mecca (the Hijra) and settled in Yathrib (now known as Medina) with his followers, where he was the leader of the first avowedly Muslim community. War between factions in Mecca and Medina followed, in which Muhammad and his followers were eventually victorious. The military organization that was created by this struggle was then set to conquering the other tribes of Arabia. By the time of Muhammad's death, he had unified Arabia, spread Islam throughout the Arabian Peninsula, and launched expeditions to the north, towards Syria and Palestine.\n\nUnder Muhammad's immediate successors, the Islamic empire expanded into Palestine, Syria, Mesopotamia, Persia, Egypt, North Africa, and Iberia. Later conquests, commercial contact between Muslims and non-Muslims, and missionary activity spread Islam over much of the globe.\n\nAll Muslims feel a great love and veneration for Muhammad, and express this feeling in many ways.\n\nWhen speaking or writing, Muhammad's name is preceded by the title "Prophet" and is followed by the phrase, Peace be upon him, or Peace be upon him and his descendants by Shias; in English often abbreviated as "(pbuh)" and "pbuh&hd", or just simply as "p". \nConcerts of Muslim and especially Sufi devotional music include songs praising Muhammad (see Muslim music, Qawwali). \nSome Muslims celebrate the birthday of Muhammad (Mawlid) with elaborate festivities. Others do not, believing that such festivities are modern innovations. \nCriticism of Muhammad is often equated with blasphemy, which is punishable by death in some Muslim states. \nMuhammad is often refered to with titles of praise. \nMuhammad's relics, such as his grave, his sword, his clothing, even strands of his hair, are revered by some. \nEven non-iconic representations of Muhammad are traditionally discouraged. From the 16th century, however, Persian and Ottoman art frequently represented Muhammad in miniatures, albeit with his face either veiled, or emanating radiance (see e.g. Siyer-i Nebi). Modern caricatures of Muhammad have caused great controversy and criticism (see Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons for an example). \nBeyond the stories accepted as canonical by Islamic scholars of hadith, or oral traditions, there are many folktales praising Muhammad and recounting miraculous stories of his birth, upbringing and life.

Muslims have a rule that bans painting any picture of Islam holy men and a caricature of Islam prophet surely brings anger to Muslims so the question is why a danish newspaper has published such a debatable thing.\nI think at the moment we need peace not fights.

I'm afraid my opinion of Islam isn't good, at all, Sir.\n\nAnd your quotation from the Koran hasn't helped improve it any better; I'm sorry to say, Sir.\n\nThe "strong handle" is perhaps a typo, Sir; because it really makes no sense to a Native English Speaker, like myself.  Besides the whole "quotation" is rather confusingly worded, Sir.\n\nNow, since you ask, Sir, may I enlighten you on why I  have the low opinion of Islam?\n\nFirst of all, Sir, the life of Mohammad is not exactly an inspiring one.\n\nHe took 12 wives, at least a couple of whom were more than 20 years senior to him when he was in his 20's, and they just happened to be rich old women,  and then took a 9 year old child for a wife, when he was "Prophet"  and in his 50's.\n\nThe words gigolo and pedophile come to mind, Sir.\n\nThe History of Violence, Intolerance and being somewhat deranged behavior of it's members are other factors that cause me to be repulsed by it, Sir.\n\nThere are many more reasons, but I think these suffice, Sir.\n\nDo have a nice day.

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.

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.

The cartoon of Mohammed with a bomb on his head was totally out of line. It stereotypes Muslims, and implies that Islam is a religion of violence and suicide bombing. These generalizations are unfair and unnaceptable. Islam is a religion of peace - a way of life. There are just those who misunderstand, and those are the ones that get all the attention. There are good Muslims!\n\nI DON'T agree with the way Muslims reacted. What are they angry about? The cartoonist implied that Muslims are VIOLENT, and they reacted with VIOLENCE. That's not protest, that's proving a the cartoonist's point. And that just makes me sad...

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 :(
