Muhammad cartoon row intensifies

[popcornbird]

LH, there is a difference between insulting a country, and insulting God's prophet that billions believe in and love so deeply. I wouldn't really care if someone said something offensive about a Muslim 'country', but a cartoon of Prophet Muhammad with bombs strapped around him...... That just infuriates me. It is kinda of like how a Christian would feel if someone did such a thing against Jesus, and published it for all the world to see. Of course Christians would be very angry. I'm sure Muslims would join Christians in the anger too, because we believe Jesus is a prophet of God and love him. Offending a 'country', and doing something like this, that is basically attacking the vital beliefs of 1/5th of the entire world population is a completely different thing. I can't understand blaming the whole Denmark for it. I'm only angry with those responsible, and yes, they need to apologize/take action against it.

PCB, people make similarly offensive statements about Christ all the time (the Last Temptation of Christ(movie) Piss christ (a theoretical work of art), the list is endless, yet the Christian world does not call for the offender's head on a platter, as many imams and the "arab street" have done. Salman Rushdie is STILL underground because of a fatwah against him from decades ago. We have our wingnuts,(Pat Robertson) but they normally don't incite entire populations to riot and burn flags.

Again, I support the actions of the Danish government, not because I agree with the cartoons, but because to steal a quote "I may not agree with what you have to say, but I will defend your right to say it until my death".
