What is your opinion on the Mohammed cartoon? If it offends you - will you please explain why?

It offended me how the Muslims followed up with a cartoon of Ann Frank in bed with Hitler. For goodness sake she was a little girl who died in a concentration camp.\n\nI think the're acting like school kids - "well you stole my juice, so I'm going to steal your cookie." Not worth all those people dying for is it?

It just shows how Muslims are.  They are violent and hateful.  If this had been done to a Christian they would merely write some scathing articles about how rude it is to attack their religion.  But how do Muslims handle it?  They want to attack a group of people who had nothing to with the cartoons.  This would be like Russia bombing us and we respond by saying "We wont allow Russia to succed.  That is why we are now bombing the Czech Republic"

I've already commented on this countless times, both on and offline, and I am completely sick and tired of this whole ludicrous situation. Having said that, here goes...\n\nAny reasonable person with an open mind and a rudimentary understanding and appreciation of freedom of speech, freedom of expression, freedom of the press, et al KNOWS that the Danish newspaper was 100% within their rights to publish those caricatures of Mohammad. \n\nAs evidenced by some of the responses here (most notably the one from Pakistan above), the Muslims who are rioting in the streets, making death threats, boycotting Danish products, etc. are completely unreasonable. They cannot see beyond their own personal biases (Mohammad may be #1 with you, mate, but he's not #1 with me and 5-6 billion others who are sharing this planet with you) and have no conception of tolerance -- to say nothing of free speech.\n\nThe Danes are a free and tolerant people allowing their media to express itself freely, irrespective of whether or not the majority of Danes agree with what is printed. Any civilized country handles such matters in much the same way. We're talking about political CARTOONS, for Godsake!\n\nBut the fanatical Muslim fundamentalists and their terrorist host countries (Iran, Syria, et al), on the other hand, have absolutely no understanding of what it means to have free thought, free expression and tolerance for the views and beliefs of others. Whatever the perceived slight or "offense," these people can be counted on to react with excessive outrage and extreme violence (erm, what is that telling us about their religion, btw?). \n\nNothing short of the rest of the world converting to Islam tomorrow will appease these villains. So you know what? I couldn't care less about appeasing or even trying to understand them anymore. Fuck 'em!\n\nGod bless Denmark and Freedom!

I got the joke... it's not all bad.\n\nBut I don't know if it is such a good idea to joke about this. It may seem strange to us today that there should be ANY limit on free speech. But this is THE BOTTOM to push if one wish to engage a Muslim in a death dual.\n\nThe law of their religion is full of sins punishable by death. Not unlike our religion BTW. The difference is that, they still feel obligated to carry out that punishment.

How does anyone know what Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) looks like? How do you know those cartoons are of Him? Just because someone says "look, I drew this man and he is Prophet Mohammed (PBUH)", will you believe that??\nWhere were these rioters when Muslims were killing others in the name of Prophet Mohammed, PBUH? I feel that the insult caused to Prophet Mohammed (PBUH)'s name by killers who kill in His name is a 1000000 times worse than these silly little cartoons.\n\nWomen are killed in honor killings in the Prophet's name and no one is upset. Innocent people like Danny Pearl are beheaded on camera and no one is upset. And yet some Danish newspaper publishes some silly cartoons and the whole Muslim world is suddenly upset. When will the followers of Islam look inside and realise how much the religion has been destroyed from inside??\n\nAdded later:\nNow you have used his name on this page. What does that mean? Muslims should realise that just because THEY don't do something, it does NOT mean that the rest of the world can't do it.\nExample: Muslims eat beef, which is holy to Hindus. You don't see Hindus upset about Muslims eating beef!\n\nWhy were there no riots when an Edyptian paper published the cartoons in October: http://egyptiansandmonkey.blogspot.com/2006/02/boycott-egypt.html

Heres the deal. ANY illustration of Mohammed by a Muslim is forbidden. \n\nHowever, it is only forbidden for Muslims. \n\nIts absurd. A comparison would be if Jews all over the world protested and rioted because *somebody* ate pork.

I don't think they're overeacting at all. It's very offensive toward the entire church and faith community. Someone draws a cartoon of Muhamad and it causes worldwide rage among Muslims. This movie completely shoots down the credibility of the Christian faith - and sadly - a lot of people buy into these theories. I think it's only rational to be upset - if you're a Christian period - not just a Roman Catholic.

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.

Whoa there knobstick, your words make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up!  I don't think that cartoons of religious figures should be printed or sketched if it means the same thing as shouting '" Fire" in a crowded theater, ie...ignorant protesting with killed persons involved.\nBut where do we end the censorship?  In India we could never even look right or left, heck they worship everything there don't they? Air, frogs, matchsticks?

Personally, I'm a Christian and an American and I don't think that the Muslims are trying to take over the world. Yes, they are angry at what's been done with the cartoon because those idiots in Denmark (not all the Danish) insulted and degraded their beloved prophet Mohammed. It was wrong of them to do this to the Muslim people. Yes, I do agree that what the ones that are committing the violence are wrong and it must be stopped,  but I do understand their outrage though it does not justify violence and bloodshed. The Muslims have been treated very badly since Osama Bin Ladin did what he did because he claims to follow Islam. He used his religion to promote violence and terror and that is what really started the hatred and fear of the Muslim people. He is not a true Muslim. The situation with the Muslims and the rioting is boiling over and the Muslim leaders need to act now before there is anymore bloodshed. We in America are being blamed because the middle east has issues with us anyway and it's easier to direct their anger toward the US but the Muslims that are attacking America for what Denmark has done, are wrong and on this, they owe us an apology. We had nothing to do with Denmark's blasphemy towards Mohammed and they are wrong in blaming us. I defend the good Muslims but I will certainly speak out against those that are wrong. They, like us, don't know everything there is to know about each other and our customs and religions. Perhaps if we would all take the time to learn about one another, we would find peace. Still, Muslim or Christian, we are all one family under God and it's time to realize that and heal. God bless.

You can't excuse bad behavior otherwise it breeds more bad behavior.  The cartoonists shouldn't appologize either because from what I have seen the cartoons are accurate.

:}\nI'm afraid you will have to settle for the more recent cartoons . Muslims would never have left such an artifact for fear the truth would be seen in his likeness.

I am sure it would have been much more controversial if Rolling Stone called him Mohammed rather than Jesus. Christians have always had art with people in them. Muslims have always said it was wrong to have any art with god or the prophet in it.

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.

I do.  Ok, haven't you seen it?  It's true!! And I have read the Koran.  I didn't see where it forbid the depiction of the prophet.\nBut even if it did, why are the muslims trying to make non muslims obey THEIR laws.  They are violently pushing their religion on those that choose not to follow it.\n\nI support the right of anyone to believe, print and draw whatever the heck they want!  And if the muslims are offended, tough, that's life.
