Why do you think that in Islam they banned web sites?

And how much do you know about Islam??? Lots enough for you to talk about something that indeed you have very less knowledge about it???\n   Many people all over this world talk about freedom including free to be muslim, christian, budhist and so on. But how many of us respect every single person's right to be in which religion they want to? Including respect their faith and beleive. For example, be careful in whatever issue that you want to raise.

This the below site is created by ex-Muslims. They haven't nessesarily converted to another religion, just left Islam.\n\nhttp://www.news.faithfreedom.org/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=142\nhttp://www.faithfreedom.org/

Muslims only are permitted in Mecca, under penalty of death.\n\nNote:  I base this on information I heard in a class on Islam back in college.  I do not mean this to be offensive, but I had heard that a non-Muslim was found in Mecca and was beheaded.  This is supposedly enforced by the Saudi government.

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.

Yahoo bans for the most stupid of reasons.  I agree with you on the trailer trash girl with the incest issue, yuk.  If anything, that should have been banned.  I have been banned for less than that.  Maybe Yahoo only checks out questions and/or answers that someone reports as abuse is what I am thinking.  If that is true I would think that there are a million stupid questions that would or should be banned.  I'm with you on this.

I think it is because we have been taught that Islam is a religion that believes in violence against all non-islamics and does not give rights to women.\n\nCorrect me if I am wrong but that is what we have been taught.

There wasn't any outrage and it seems they have a profound ingrained nature of Denial.\n\nDo you really think that they would answer you and admit this?\n\n.................................................................................\n\nThe answer below proves my point about their denial.\n\nTheir religion encourages to even kill their own innocent people!\n\nMuhammed robbed caravans and murdered innocent people for a living!!\n\n\nhttp://www.contenderministries.org/islam/muhammad.php\n\nhttp://www.bibleprobe.com/muhammed.htm

Censorship can not truelly be justified in any sense.  It is simply societies way of controlling what they do not agree with.

I agree with the majority of the people here.  How could we possibly know the rules of Islam when we do not practice it nor study it?  I do believe in religious tolerance (as in don't start war with someone just because they don't believe what you believe).  Jesus himself said that we are not to offend anyone and that we are to live above reproach.  Now that the world knows, I'm sure the incident will not repeat itself.  I need to add that the violent protests are NOT necessary.  The majority of people know about Islam from what we see on television.  It is ridiculous to assume that everyone knew it was forbidden to draw him.

Beacause these people have a veil of hatred on thier eyes so they can not see, and when they can not see they can not judge, and when they can not judge they jump to conclusions to which have no answers and when they have no answers to their conclusions they post it to yahoo.answers so that they may justify thier perception...but Alas! Allah does not wish so....\nso pray for peace and happiness of all the yahoo users..(AMIN)

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.

those animals are not muslims,the koran strickly forbids the harming of innocents,of which,in their sexist world view,all women and children are included.adherants and infidels.

Nothing at all as I believe everyone has the right to free speech and if we start banning things because it offends some people then where do you draw the line\n\nThe cartoons were just that - cartoons.  Meant to be taken lightheartedly and not even published with the intention of causing offence.  When it's put into context Islam is one of the lesser mocked religions as I believe a lot of people are aware of the sensitivities that may be aroused in Muslims by speaking out against what to them is more than just a religion being as it is, a way of life.\n\nIn any event, there have been far more cartoons about Christ than about Muhammad (PBUH) and often much more hateful and disparaging.\n\nI don't have a religion as such and if I did it would probably be Baha'i which is effectively where the individual takes strands from different religions and lives their life according to them.

The whole of Islam is full of controversy and division.  They are a divided camp with the western ones saying the middle eastern ones are not muslims and vice versa.  The violent verses stand in their koran and they try to say they mean something else when they clearly say what they say.  40% of UK muslims want the UK to convert to shari law.  Their whole situation would never have developed the civilization of europe or the usa as they are.  We would be living in mud huts under shari law, but they don't see it that way.

I am not going to answer about the 9 year old wife of the prophet Mohamed because I know nothing about it. Instead I would like to direct my opinion to AIRASAE. \n\nAirasae, this is an open public discussion and anything can be expected out of it except lewd and foul contents. Nobody is trashing or crushing anybody. If one man's truth can not be your truth just give them logical answers instead of paranoia. If some disturbing questions would rise up against Islam, every muslim would say that Islam is being crushed. Have you ever noticed the countless time Christianity have been crushed with words, thoughts and bombs. But what comes into our minds would often seek the answers to a belief different from ours. \n\nThey say Islam is a religion of peace, but look around you. Bombs here, bombs there and bombs everywhere not even the third world was spared. If western cable companies report what transpires in the muslim world, you say that they do biased reporting. Do you think respectable, world class cable TV stations stay a long time if the world will know that they are trying to do false reporting? They will be out of business in no time. \n\nIf Islam is really a religion of peace truth will surely come out and no one can ever stop it. So, why so worried, be paranoid and overprotective when you can't do anything about it because people have eyes to see, ears to hear and brains to analyze and finally decide. \n\nIf I were a muslim, the first thing I would do is to really try to understand why innocent people including women and children are being targeted. This is not Jihad, this is a crime against humanity. Just imagine the whole muslim world went crazy over a cartoon made by one dumb christian and yet nobody gets crazy over what suicide bombers are doing. How Ironic can it be?   \n\nIf christians would bomb public places with no exactly logical target but innocent people, I would voice out a loud cry to go against those who perpetrates such crime because it simply is not acceptable. I will protest against my fellow christian suicide bombers until my people will get the message and join the protest because to me they are not freedom fighters but mere criminals. Do you see why we don't have such martyrs? It is because to us they will never be martyrs nor freedom fighters nor jihad fighters because to the Christian world, it will always be a heinous crime if they will kill muslims that way and every christian soul knows that.\n\n\nTO BEYOND EVENT\n\nShould I believe because you said so? Read between the lines. If ever it really happened because you said so, then you have first hand knowledge not me. If you are a muslim, educate me for being so naive. Collateral damage was coined in the 20th century and made popular by Mr. Schwartzenegger and it was a nice movie. I just wonder what they call it during Napoleon's time.

There could be many reasons though I can only think of one: \n\nWe are all getting a bit uptight about Islam. Everybody including politicians are condemning Islam. Therefore, Muslims over the world are a bit..... how should I say..... frustrated......??? They see anything like this against them. A few years back, I should have also thought like this. (that ransacking muslim graves is racist and anti-religious)

I left because of the death threats but I resurrected myself in a new account and maybe it'll take them a little longer to find me this time.Spooky how things happen, isn't it? I don't know what's up with all the threats everyone's getting...my guess is over-exhuberant trolls with nothing better to do with their time. But I've been wondering where all the familiar faces had gone off to...you were one of those whose disappearance I had pondered.\n\nTo answer your question...I guess religions are frowned upon when the actions of a few bring disgrace to the many. Islam itself isn't horrible, just some of its followers. Same holds true for all religions.
