Danish hatred



Deep down they know Islam is the truth, they will try everything they can to insult Islam, but indeed they will never succeed.

To Samir and Chinese



How would you feel if someone insulted your family in front of you? The Prophet is dearer to us than our families. We should stop acting like sheep, and start protesting against everyone who insults or hurts us.

To Jane Doe



Jane, do not compare our Prophet with the holocaust which to millions of people is a vague issue anyway. Iran did not publish cartoons, but depictions of what might have happened in WW-II. The Arab league is firstly Muslim, THEN Arab. We are bound by our belief in Allah, NOT by nationalism. Why did the UN not condemn Israel for slaughtering the Palestinians for 60 years? You compare Iran's conference with the bloodshed of hundreds of thousands of people? Set your priorities straight.

Justification of reaction?



I have only two things to say...
One: Danish papers could have "upheld" freedom of speech without having to reprint and re-ignite such sensitive religious issues... totally uncalled for. Period.
Two: There will always be disagreements and other opinions in the world about religion. Muslims should show more intelligence, graciousness and tolerance towards those ignorant of Islam, lest they be seen as being ignorant themselves. Imagine what God would say or what Prophet Mohamed (PBUH) will do in such a situation? Other people can laugh and insult (Muslims/Islam) for all they want, SO WHAT? Let God be the judge of their deeds! Let Muslims prove these people wrong by living the true (not reactionary and radical) Islamic way.

Leave the politics, religion and vanity.



Some individual made a carton and published. Will that actually change anything? "For Muslims" what Prophet Mohammed is, he is (PBUH). This is not going .to change because someone, somewhere, drew a cartoon.

So let's stop all this politics and start living as human beings. No man in this world had authority to take any individual's life. If Kurt Westergaard was at fault god will punish him. No activist/fanatics has the authority to take a life.

Danish Cartoons



What a pity to find foolhardy people blinded in their egos to come out again with such stupid acts. The publishers should focus on bigger issues that would do more for humanity than this act of fanning hatred among religions.

Freedom of speech



Muslims were the organizers of the Jewish Holocaust Cartoon Conference last year in Iran, which was sponsored by the Iranian government. The Arab League had not one word of criticism.
