It was not a wise thing to do cos you know picturing of Mohammed is definitely forbidden in Islam and it was clear that this cartoon would attract criticism from the Muslim world. As expected there are protests all around the world against Europe and Denmark and I fear this might trigger yet another wave of terrorist attack Rolling Eyes I wish Danes were a little more careful about what they were drawing.

Don't participate in the war, don't help people to kill people, then nothing will happen to you.

that's really too simple. most of those people who did in terrorist attacks were righteous people who did neither participate in a war nor helped anyone killing s.o. - far from kill theirselves..
it's just naive to think that this

of course, 11.9. was because of the european/american expansion and imperialism, where they killed people.
If they hadn't killed them, terrorist attacks today wouldn't have happened.
As mukemmale said, now europeans painted cartoons directing to the muslim belief, and soon another terrorist attacks may come.
History is too deep to be helped.

so do you think we should have stayed in the 18th century? there were always wars, in every century, for every reason..
it seems that humans can't live happily and peaceful together-- i doubt that this will ever change.

sorry i'm offtopic Smile

isn't the second Commandment in the bible "You shall have no other gods besides Me...Do not make a sculpted image or any likeness of what is in the heavens above..." ? and you can find funny/ironic/sarcastic whatever images of jesus/god all around the world and in the web - no Christian does terrorist attacks because of that..
just a thought i wondered about...

you can't change history - you only can change the future.

Of course i dont' accept these Cartoons . I think no one can insult Pape by drawing him just like that . There is a big difference between freedom and respect others.

Reaction by supermarket managers in the Islamic countries to the controversial
cartoons published in the Danish and Norwegian media is patchy. In some supermarkets, gaps with labels in English and Arabic, indicate that Danish products have been withdrawn; in others shelves were fully stocked with familiar Danish products .

DANISH WILL LOSS 2 MUCH BY STUPIDTY DRAWER

BOYCOTT DANISH PRODUCTS

Well, They are not simple drawings meant to embody critics, They imply that the essence of islam is terrorism, which is not true. The way you can view those drawings varies. There were cartoons of Jews prior to ww2! So in this context you can regard them either as simple funny/ironic/sarcastic cartoons, or islamphobia, which makes the case more complicated especially when it is revealed that the same Dannish newspaper previously refused to publish the "Cartoons of Jesus Christ" in order not to offend the Christian readers. The freedom of press does not mean "freedom of offending or insulting " .

Nevertheless these things never justify the extremists who have the habbit of taking innocent lives for their fanatism,ignorance,arrogance and passion. What they are doing with the Dannish embassies is indeed silly. I have always thought: " the Prophet Mohammad would be more concered with muslims' being less educated, undeveloped and not modern enough, than what a stupid Dannish paper prints, if he had been alive"

I think school or media should have let people known about the potential things (in religion, culture) which could lead in terrorist attacks or wars. That won't be a very big help but at least then we will understand why USA really attacked Iraq and what the terrorist attacks are for.

That's a nice quote. But we also have to do something according to it. What are the presidents for? What is UNO for?

If you want to protest the cartoons, then do it peacefully.

Violence and the calls for death to the cartoonist merely feed the stereotype that Muslims are violent.

The Danish government also has no authority over the newspaper that printed them. So to penalize all Danish people/industry for the actions of 1 newspaper is also wrong

They are being encouraged to riot by the governments of Syria and Iran,
No demonstration can take place in Syria or Iran without the government allowing it.
I guess they think it will take the heat off their own poor performance.
