    Yet they'll get pissed if the prophet Muhammed is depicted with a bomb is his turban.
    That's why I say if you're offended, fix yo shit.

    They are like the bully that you can't speak out against.

    It is an interesting one. As I understand it the problem is simply that those within the Muslim faith take there Religion pretty seriously. As part of their beliefs they're not allowed to depict the prophet Mohamed in anyway. The fact that this cartoonist has done has caused offence which has been heightened by the fact that the picture also attempted to ridicule the prophet.

    Ultimately it is probably poor taste to have published this stuff. The reaction from the Muslim world hasn't been great though. A boycott seems reasonable I guess as a protest and an attempt to get the point across that this type of thing can and has caused offence. The calls for terrorist strikes though and the flag burnings don't help though as they just go to fuel the popular belief that the Muslim communities are violent and irrational.

    This is getting blown out of all proportion now. It's like World War III is being sparked off by these cartoons...

    "chapter 42, verse 11 of the Koran does say: "[Allah is] the originator of the heavens and the earth... [there is] nothing like a likeness of Him." - bbc news site ( http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/mid...st/4674864.stm )

    does anyone else read that sentence as no matter what you draw it will never look like allah not dont draw him.

    From the article...

    Chapter 21, verses 52-54 of the Koran read: "[Abraham] said to his father and his people: 'What are these images to whose worship you cleave?' They said: 'We found our fathers worshipping them.' He said: 'Certainly you have been, you and your fathers, in manifest error.'"

    From this arises the Muslim belief that images can give rise to idolatry - that is to say an image, rather than the divine being it symbolises, can become the object of worship and veneration.

    thing is, you wouldn't see the same reaction if it were a cartoon making a joke about Moses or Jesus..

    You would probably see a gentleman in a suit on a TV broadcast critiscising the jokes/cartoons - unlike what is currently happening over the Muslim world with riots, kidnapping (a German was kidnapped in Nablus), or armed people walking the streets shooting.....


    Somehow, I don't see that happening if it were a joke about another religion.

    I was watching the news and they showed people paint the french and danish flag on the ground and dancing on it. They also burned their flags, put it on the ground (ontop of the painted flags) and started dancing on it. One fucker burned himself which was funny. They showed that one news paper out of 15 danish newspapers published the cartoons.
