The more those people protest about insignificant cartoons the more other people realize that maybe religion (specifically islam) is not worthy of following.  Who wants to follow a prophet that has thin skin.  If you have to believe in a god, wouldn't you want one that has the ability to laugh at himself?

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.

It is interesting to note that protestations seem to go only one way.\n \nThe muslim bunch cheerfully ignore "insults" published against "Jews","Buddhists","Shinto's",\n"Christians"," Hindus","Deists", "Rastafarians","Wicca's", "Confucians", "Bahrain's", practioneers of \nVoodoo,  etc. and then riot in the streets when the media portrays Muhammad for what he was, i.e., \na blood-thirsty intolerant tyrant responsible for the deaths of millions of people.\n \nNo doubt they have this attitude as they do not recognize persons they consider as "unbelievers" to \nbe capable of being insulted.\n \nMany muslim dominated countries don't allow other religions holy books into their country and forbid \nthe proselytism within their borders of other religions as if they had something to fear.\n \nMuhammad's  so-called HOLY BOOK specifically calls out for the slaughter of all non-muslims.\n \nIt was his practice when he was alive and this practice remains a part of this groups tenets today.\n \nDeath due to one's beliefs totally dwarfs "cartoons" printed in a newspaper. \n[Death seems to have some degree of permanency]\n \nUntil they disavow this part of their bible, the Qur'an, I see no reason to offer up sympathy for them \nand their religion for this alleged insult.\n \nBTW, I considered the "cartoons" to be to the point and very well done.

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...).

Simply, no.  The Koran is not a prophetic book, but the Bible is.

Though I sense slight tinge of facetiousness in the prior post, Malcom actual did participate in non-violent protest and upon separation from the teaching of Elijah Muhammed, he began to speak on the value of worshiping togther regarless of race, ethnicity, etc.\n\nIn my opinion, no one who appear to be too radical is a threat in a civil rights movement because no one wants to be associated with far left or right views, when you gain the vast majority in the middle you pose a threat.  malcom began to do that and along with angering members of his former community (those who assasinated him) He began to worry anti-civil rights leaders with the threat of gaining the support of whites and other races through his new acceptance of true islamic foundation.

If anybody ordered mass murder, then he is a murderer. doesnt matter how you want to call him - mass murderer. murderer is a murderer. thats all. doesnt matter if he claims it was the will of god. he remains a murderer.\ncommandments are not for human welfare. but a tool to manipulate man into submission. if someone refuses, kill him. this is the history of prophetic religions from jerusalem.\nthese commandments are the cause of unrest in the whole area. in one form or the other, all the three religions have the same kind of commandments. moses gave 10, christianity & islam  might have added or subrtacted a few here and there. but in essence they are still using this to make life a suffering rather than joy.\npity those believers and followers.

They did show one briefly on televion it was slightly blurred around the cartoon's face but it was easy to see it was an middle eastern looking man or dark skinned man in a white rob with his hands somewhat together possibly in a prayer like postion and what looked like a simple yellow halo over his head in an all white background. \nI don't think it's how he was depicted just the fact that he was depicted at all. Some believe that the peaceful protestest were incited by an extremist group. But all in all it's a matter of how the media decides to take the information and spin it out for it's own gain. \nOther religions are depicted in unholy manners all the time and the media barely picks up on it or it's protesters. It's a means of timing meets opportunity for public media gain.

True muslims should get offended because Jesus is considered a major prophet in Islam. \n\nFanatics won't, but they are really not true muslims.

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.

The radical/militant Muslim is utterly convenced that he is acting on the will and authority of Allah.  Therefore, all who oppose him are opposed to the will of Allah.  There are severe penalties in the Islamic world for opposition to the will of Allah and the radical/militant is happy to apply them.  Does not lend itself to the free exchange of viewpoints.

A prophet is a important person, no one should disrespect Mohammad, Jesus or Moses. But an event in history is different. A historian says that according to the research that I have done, Hitler couldn't have killed 6 million jews in gas chambers (and he never says Hitler was a good guy or that he didn't kill anyone!) And then he has to go to jail because of his research. Doesn't that remind you of Galileo's story....?!

What you say is historically correct according to Islamic history references. Even if that was common by the time, I would expect prophet Muhammed to change it to a more moral practice.
