yes i know that i am and a lot of others too. and yes christians would too. when u care about some thing/body so much u dont tolorat disrespect towards them i.e your mother, your wife, so on. spacialy if the issue is not even true. the protest is against disrespect and not freedome of speech. at the same time being a muslim i condem the aproch of expressing ones feelings of the toonist as well as the people burning tires and disobaying the law.

I don't think anyone is offended by it, but it is culturally insensitive to those who don't celebrate Christmas. How would you feel if during Ramadan everywhere you turned around someone was saying "Happy Ramadan" and you were one of the very few people not celebrating (well, it isn't really a celebration until the end, but you get my point). You wouldn't be offended, you'd just feel left out. Non-Christians are already the minority, why make them feel even more like outsiders?

The two are completely different, and the Muslims on here are starting to get mad at me for telling them the truth over, and over. THEY CANT HANDLE THE TRUTH!!!

I wish the controller from yahoo would answer it!!  You are right tho, i have seen loads of crape against a particular community and a particular religion which should have not been allowed in the first place.

*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...

Awesome! I read the whole thing, and I can't believe an American feels this way. I am a Muslim, and I have to say you hit the nail on the head! Too right. I didn't always believe what you said. I am also American, and noone wants to feel negative feelings about their country. We all want to love where we come from. Still, lately evidence of so much wrong-doing has surfaced on the part of our government, that I am forced to re-evaluate things. I have studied Islam extensively for thirteen years, and it is a beautiful religion. There's no such thing as racism in Islam. We believe all races are equal. The only religion I've seen so much racism in is Christianity. And I used to be a Christian, so I hope nobody here thinks I am against Christianity. I'm not. True Christianity is beautiful, however, hardly anyone practices it in its pure form any more. And racism? Oh, yeah. Talk about racism. It's so engrained in their heads through their own bible, the book they study and memorize so much that it becomes a part of them, like another leg or body part. It is a racist book. There are no Arab prophets in the bible. Does that make sense? No. There were Arab prophets, black prophets, any number of different nationalities of prophets in history. The people who re-wrote and re-translated the bible took them out upon translating and interpreting them! Yes, that's right. They took them out because they were racists. They wanted the bible to be a white bred book only, and they wanted America to never have any citizens become presidents or have positions of power who were not white. That is why we see there are 350,000 members of this ONE organization. Just one. And how many others are there? Don't think the government is not backing this up. They love it. Christianity is not Christianity any more. Even the Christians who are practicing Christianity are usually pretty racist without even knowing. They don't even know the bible is subliminal. The racism in it enters their sub-conscious so much, that they don't even realize. So what is the biggest threat to this racist idea? Islam. It stands for everything they are against. Unity of all races and nationalities. It stands for peace. That's why they lie about Muslims being terrorists. We are not terrorists. They are the real terrorists, and I'm not referring to Christians, here. I'm referring to our government, which has infiltrated Christianity with so much hatred of races other than lily white. I know a lot of people are going to be pissed at me for saying all this, but it is true. You've been lied to, people.

I wish every other European country would follow the Dutch example.  The burka and the niqab are not the same as symbols such as a cross (or even a headscarf) - they are an indication of how Muslims won't accept the secular and civil values of their host countries - and yet they exploit these values, demanding tolerance for their misogyny, their anti-semitism, the religious hatred frequently preached in their mosques, their forced marriages, honour killings, stonings, whippings and amputations etc.  There should be no such thing as "a Muslim community" within a town or city; if you go to a country you should integrate fully.

Brilliant question, I hate the way people did that too.  It's the same thing as apologizing for something my great great grandfather did when he was alive!? Its just not plausible, at the end of the day, the only people who are causing death in this country NOW, are Muslims and atheists, simple as that really...\n\nEDIT, I'd like to ask poki poki, where in all this vast information did it say that those were done by Christians....?

Muslims are not few numbers thank god and to your knowledge a great percent of the exported goods from Denmark goes to muslim countries and when muslims prophet and releigion is insulted then its normal to boycott the goods from the countries who insulted thier releigion and prophet which of course will affect the trade

I agree, Christianity is constantly under attack on this forum and Christians of all denominations should support one another and not join forces with those whose only motive, is to rip and tear asunder.

It is a good question, and something that I as a muslim, get very upset about.\n\nFirstly as I am sure you know Islam Completely against Violence.\n\nI think we as muslims do not do enough to make this clear to non- muslims. And we let the fanatics takes over Islam.\n\nThere is a victim mentality, that is always blaming somebody else for what is going wrong. Also there is a problem that muslims to not like to criticise other muslims, even if there are doing something totally wrong.\n\nI live in England, and I have muslim friends who will not condemn the suicide bombers in London because they are muslim, and they say they must have right reasons in their mind for that act. \n\nMany people protest about the Americans in Iraq, quite rightly, but more muslims are killed by other muslims like Zarqawi. I don't see too many people outside Iraq rushing to protest against his actions. Most people are against is actions but why are they quiet. He is as big a evil as Bush.\n\nFor the cartoons I was against them, and I am lucky to live in a country where they are not published, but by protesting against in the way they proved the cartooners right. (it was unaccept for some muslims to say kill all danish) And why do people not get as upset bu terrorist attacts in the name of Islam?? These are REALLY a blaspheme against god.\nAlso it is very unfortunate that some muslims make simular cartoons against jews. The Iranian newspapers response to run a cartoon about the horoculst was appalling and un Islamic. I sometimes think Muslims have double stands like the their criticise the west as having.\n\n\nThe media DO high light bad behaviour by muslims over good, \nBut we are often to blame because WE donot make our voice strong enough when other muslim do bad things in the name of Islam.\n\nIt is easy to fall in a victim mentality, when people attack us and become defensive. \nBUT it is better for us to PROVE the attackers wrong by confronting people who misuse islam..

Assalamoalakum Sister Cici,\n\nYou and I are on the same wave-length. Annoyed? A little sometimes, but Allah says they are nothing but a trifling annoyance at best. And what should we do about getting questions from those who mock our faith? Answer the questions in a way that show our faith and patience, and the qualities of who we really are. Don't think other non-Muslims aren't noticing our attitudes are better than the jerks who are asking these idiotic questions. They are just upset because they see they are not effective in their questioning, and their attempts at trying to turn people away from Islam are futile at best. People will always convert to Islam, and love Islam, in spite of their attempts to bash it. The beauty of Islam speaks for itself. Peace sister.\n\nBtw, it seems like Chancer's points of view are not very popular, even among the English. lol. He's just a butt-head. lol. Bye, hun.
