what do you think about recently published Mohammeds drawing in Danish newspaper ?

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.

Both, really. It was the Danish press exercising their right (under Danish law) to free press, and it was disrespectful to a certain religion.\n\nBut we don't see Christians burning flags and torching embassies b/c of unusual (and blasphemous) creations as "Piss Christ", or Jews sending death threats to the Muslim state-sponsored newspapers running virulent cartoons equating Nazis and Zionists.\n\nMuslims need to come to the 21st century, or we might have to bomb them to the Stone Age.\n\nAnhar : Let's see, freedom is slavery, where have I heard that before? ;) Let's face it, we're dealing with a group of people who have been conditioned to accept "The Truth" as the only acceptable answer, and if you dare to disbelieve, then you're wrong and it's off with your head :<

Yemenis Scholars Condemns Denmark Abuses against Prophet\n\nSANA'A -- Yemen Scholars Association and Yemeni Journalists Syndicate (YJS) strongly condemned the publication of cartoons which depict Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in an insulting way by a Danish newspaper, according to a report by the Yemen News Agency (Saba) Monday.\n\nThe YJS asked the Danish Journalists Syndicate to promptly interfere to solve this sensitive case and attacks against Islam under the pretext of freedom of expression.\n\nhttp://www.yobserver.com

When the artist Andres Serrano displayed "Piss Christ" (which depicts a small plastic crucifix submerged in a glass of the artist's urine) Christian's around the world didn't rise up and riot in the streets. They didn't kill anyone or call for the burning of embassies. The world didn't demand an apology from the artist....on the contrary, it was herald and given awards. Freedom of Speech groups rallied around and defended the piece.\n\nWhy are those groups not rising up now? The world is calling for an apology and it's simply ridiculous. I think that US News outlets should run the cartoons. Offensive or not, it's news.\n\nTo apologize and bow down to every little thing that irritates Muslims and terrorists alike is letting terrorism win. Don't get me wrong, I know that not all Muslims have a desire to "kill infidels." However, rioting in the streets, burning embassies and killing Europeans in the Middle East doesn't send a very good message to the rest of the world that they are a "religion of peace."

Do you think it's right for the Muslim world to blame the US for Danish cartoons?

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.

You are one brave guy!!! who is disrespect Jesus Christ again, and now with the toiler papers.  But, you wouldn't be soooo brave and dare to print Muhammad on anything let alone toilet paper, because if you did, you would be dead or hiding for your life, even for the idea.\n\nFalse.  \nYou seem ignorant, but you are not that stupid!

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....

Nothing.  It was an independent private newspaper that published the cartoon.  It would be no different than the United States government doing something over a New York Times editorial.  This is a problem that other governments have that they can't effectively control their populations and that the moderate Muslim leaders have that they can't stop their followers from rioting and killing.

Check out "FahrenHYPE 9-11". It's the liberal equivalent of the Mohammed cartoons! INFIDELS!!!!

No. \nWhy should he? He drew cartoons in his own local closed circuit newspaper in his own small village in his own country.\n\nIf somebody had the audacity to bring it alllllll the way out of Denmark, to somewhere in the Middle East, make a big hoo-haa because he knew he'd get more support, raise terrors among innocent people, burn down embassies, boycott Danish products all over the world, and wut-have-you for a small strip of Cartoon (capital C!)...\n\n Well, I think both parties are just about even, what say you?

The problem is in Danish government which is don't has any politic man who can prevent this tension in relation between 1,000,000,000 muslim and Danish people .\nsecond point is who draw this carton has no enough knowledge in history because if you knew who is Mouhammed you will respect him . \nthird point the problem in freedom because everything in this world has limit no one in this world can talk in everything so you have to respect muslim as the muslim people respect you but the strange thing is how  is this come from Danish people because they are a nice  people . \nhow is the drawer do something like this drew carton about somebody who they didn't know ?Now this is my message to the West: \n\n\n\nThere exists a cultural vagueness in the West. This vagueness results from the presence of two different concepts. The first is a great Western concept that we respect, appraise, and need. That concept is freedom of speech. This is a great humane and civilized concept. On the other hand, there is the great Islamic concept of dignifying Allah’s Messenger (SAWS). The problem arises due to the lack of understanding of the Islamic Civilization and the Western Civilization regarding these two concepts. The non-Muslims cannot value the rank of dignifying the Prophet (SAWS). On the other hand, due to the below-average quality of practical application of freedom of speech, Muslims have a vague understanding of the concept of respecting freedom of speech. \n\n\n\nAccordingly, what is required now? We do not want to refuse the concept of freedom of speech, absolutely not. However, the West should alter the freedom of speech so that it does not collide with the very important Islamic value of dignifying the Prophet (SAWS). Here lies the vagueness and ambiguity. The West understands very well the freedom of speech (which we appreciate) but it does not understand Islamic values, such as dignifying the Prophet (SAWS) and other Islamic sanctities. This is where the Western cultural vagueness lies.\n\n\n\nI clearly say to the West, you have a problem. You cannot comprehend how much the Muslims love Prophet Muhammad (SAWS). You are still unable to understand this point. If you had really encompassed its significance, you would never have accepted what happened. The West, in general, governments and people, does not apprehend that Allah’s Messenger (SAWS) is dearer to us than our parents, dearer to me than my father and dearer than my mother. I am sure that any Muslim woman listening to me now, be her religious or not, will swear on that fact. Just ask, what does Prophet Muhammad (SAWS) mean to you? It is not even necessary to do that because it is so evident, but you may conduct surveys for yourselves, and you will realize how true what I am saying is. Ask any youth, be he heedless or pious; ask any Muslim anywhere, in Bangladesh, Pakistan, Yemen or in Egypt. Ask any Muslim in any village regardless of how religious he is, be he an obedient Muslim or not, a drug user or not, successful in his life or a failure, old or young, ask them, what does Allah’s Messenger (SAWS) mean to you?\n\n\n\nO West, I affirm that Allah’s Messenger (SAWS) is dearer to all Muslims than their own parents. O West, Allah’s Messenger (SAWS) is dearer to us, Muslims, than our children and grandchildren. O West, Allah’s Messenger (SAWS) is dearer to us than our money, dearer to us than our own selves. He is dearer to us than our own countries. O Egyptian, who is dearer to you, Egypt or Allah’s Prophet? O Saudi, who is dearer to you, Saudi Arabia or Allah’s Prophet? O Yemeni, O Moroccan, O Algerian, who is dearer to you, your country or Allah’s Messenger (SAWS)? O West, comprehend that meaning, Allah’s Messenger (SAWS) is dearer to Muslims than their children and their own selves.\n\n\n\nWe can never forget the hadith that I repeatedly mentioned during the episodes of “On the Path of the Beloved”. O West, listen to this hadith[11] as it form

I doubt that the whole of Denmark will do anything whatsoever. Just because 2 people at a newspaper have a crap sense of humour, doesn't mean the whole country shares that opinion. Everyone who could apologise has already done so, from the general director of Arla(big food/dairy company) to the prime minister. What else can you do?

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?

Good for you for sharing that...\n\nThe Mufti of Marseille quoted the same verses...\nHe was angered by the muslim community for demonstrating against the Cartoons \n\nHe said that especially Western Muslims, have benefited greatly from Free Speehc and Free Press...\n\nHe said that those manifestations where the proof that Muslims were week in their faith because they got offended for just a few cartoons of bad tastes. He also says that Criticism helps make one strong and look at himself.\n\nHe also added: That the current problem with Islam in the West and Arab countries is that there are more and more Imam that dont have enough spiritual knowledge of Islam and they are too focused on the political aspect of Islam... Such as the Imam of Danemark that provoked the whole situation...\n\nSo you are right to ask that questions.... But very very very few Muftis and Imams voice the spiritual view of Islam...Mr. Benchek. the Mufti of Marseille is a rare gem (With Balls I might say...).

I believe that along with the freedom of speech comes the responsibility to respect other people and their beliefs.  The prophet Mohammed is not the Danish people's prophet to blaspheme, and they should respect Muslim beliefs.  I'm not Muslim, but I try to respect what others believe, because I would hope to get the same respect myself.  It upsets me when people make a mockery of Christ.  If you don't believe, then just leave it alone.
