Over the past few days a great deal of controversy is underway over a set of 12 comics published by a Danish Newspaper called Jyllands Posten, the Muslim world is abuzz with calls for boycotting all Danish products and impact has already been felt by dairy giant Aria Foods for sales having already plummeted to zero as reported by BBC.
These comical interpretations are actually an attempt to portray the image of Prophet Mohammed which has created an uproar worldwide sparking yet another attack on peaceful Muslims, in the form of an organised propaganda/assault to further irritate the Muslims. This attack technically is not a direct assault on Muslims but is being used as an irritant to entice some sort of reaction. Sadly it seems as if the Muslims continue to be pushed into a corner espcailly after 9/11 and continue to remain in the intense investigative spotlight for a good five years. Sometimes my heart screams Enough is Enough, lets try to figure out what exactly is the root cause of evil.
An open apology has been issued by the Editor in Chief of the paper.
In our opinion, the 12 drawings were sober. They were not intended to be offensive, nor were they at variance with Danish law, but they have indisputably offended many Muslims for which we apologize.
……They aren’t explicitly graphic but tend to mock the one person Muslims consider and hold very dear to their heart, if the Danish paper had no idea about the emotional attachment to this sacred figure then it I think they are so naive that someone should advise them to close shop and move on.

I think that to become peaceful, the Muslims should take a cue from the non-Muslims, if they cannot take a cue from the Quran. Do the non-Muslims protest so violently at cartoons(CARTOONS!!!)? Do the Christians protest at the cartoons of Jesus? Do the Jews make violent protest like the Muslims? No. But the “peaceful Muslims do! The Muslims chant death threats to those cartoonists(CARTOONISTS!).
“in the form of an organised propaganda/assault to further irritate the Muslims. This attack technically is not a direct assault on Muslims but is being used as an irritant to entice some sort of reaction.”
Are the cartoons of Jesus, for example, for the purpose of irritating the Christains? No. They are just that: Cartoons. It is the Muslims who take cartoons and comments as an offence worthy of a death penalty. The Muslims should learn to live in the world. Prophet Muhammad is not the property of the Muslims. The cartoonists have the right to draw whatever crap they want to draw. Just as the pope has the right to bark all he wants. It is the Muslims who should learn to stay in their limits.
Sadly it seems as if the Muslims continue to be pushed into a corner espcailly after 9/11 and continue to remain in the intense investigative spotlight for a good five years. Sometimes my heart screams Enough is Enough, lets try to figure out what exactly is the root cause of evil.
The cause is the backward Muslim mentality. They act like children. You take away their lollypop (drawing cartoons, or pope making comments), and they start crying. They want the world to pretend that it respects their religion. They want to control what the world can and cannot say about Islam. Thats not gonna happen. It should happen.

“Thats not gonna happen. It should happen.”
*correction*: I meant “should not”
If I could see the Cartoons it could make more sense
THESE CHIRSTAN AND JEWS ARE COWRD AND IDIOTS AS THAY CAN DO NOTHING BESIDE THESE ACTS AS THEY HAVE NO GUTS TO FACE MUSLIM IN BATTLE FEILD , AND THEY KEEP CHEACKING MUSLIM BY THESE RUBBISH ACTS THAT HOW MUCH SHAME IS LEFT IN MUSLIMS..
nathing
who ever did this he is a asshole and makes fun of my religion
Assalam o Alikum
These cartoonist heart the feeling of muslims.
As a muslim it is now our duty to kill any person how disgrace any Prophet of Allah(GOD).
Volakum Salam,
on the contrary both past and present show that muslims are the cowards. they are generally cowardly folk and only hunt in packs. partly the reason they inforce islam on the citizens of their countries, never allowing other religions to grow to sizeable measures.
it is little wonder that such evil islamists exists,if a drawing can lead muslims to fulfil murder, i imagine little more than a stale macdonalds hamburger would cause more violent acts
It could be assumed the religion is violent from its core, from forced child circumcision, to vicious halal methods and forced cousin/child marriages as mohammed had. violence and force is a major aspect of this ideology.

I disagree with you.
Being a coward cannot be in any way linked to religion. There are many brave Muslims and there would be many coward people in other religions as well. Islam in its true sense gives equal rights to minorities to live their lives as per their religious teachings.
In Islam, Muslims consider it offensive to draw any picture of Prophet Muhammed (Peace be upon him) and these drawings were not only considered offensive but also a test of Muslims’ love and their emotional attachment to their last prophet.
For other nmatters in your post, i suggest that you should first understand a religion and its teachings and history before speaking against it.
Badabing,
I dont know your religion but if someone says anything abusive about your Parents will you let him go. I dont think you willn whatever your religion is and no one will say that you are an extremist.
In Islam we love aur Holy Prophet more than our parents.If someone says or draw anything abusive we I am sure a Muslim will never let it go No matter the world will say that we are extremist or whatever,No one cares
THIS ALL FUSS IS NOTHING BUT ENGINEERED TESTING THROUGH VARIOUS TIMES TO UNDERSTAND THE ATTITUDES FOR REASERCH STUDIES ABOUT MUSLIMS REPEL, ACCUMULATED RETALIATIONS, MUSLIM GOVT.’S REACTIONS AND HOW THEY ABIDE THEIR WETERN LORDS,
OH BELIEVE ,ME IT NOT A DEBATE ANYMORE THAT ALL THE WORLD RENOWNED SCHOLARS, PHILOSPERS ACCLAIMED Prophet Mohammad (Endless Peace be upon him)as a best performer as a human, best philosper, best jusde and best leader,as George Bernard Shaw of Britain said” Islam is the best religion,muslims are the worst nation”
to all the Non Muslim I convey message be aware of Class les Jewish an eternal enimies of Humans regardless of any religion, consperous
I think it’s rather unfair to us muslims;just because of the fact that the danish cartoonist is a christian does not give him the right to describe what is not about about what he does not understand..Common let’s make the world a better place now would we??
In my openion it is really unfair with our religion. As the whole world knows that at this time the every body is suffering coz of these kind of idiots who are sabutaching the relationship in between muslims and other religions one thing i want to mention that our holy prophet has faced a lot of difficulties by the non followers but even then holy prophet give them a massage of Islam in a peacefull manner so the image of Islam is being created by the other relegions is just only to get their ulterior motives. I just can protest and want to advise them to read and try to understan Islam. Many Exemples are in the world who read learned and adopt Islam now they are the followers of Islam. we are the big followers of peace
Thanks
Karachi Pakistan
These stupids are afraid of Muslims and Islam and this act clearly show their anxiety and they afraid of the large number of people embrasing Islam Masha Allah (THE ONLY TRUE RELIGION) They are unaware of their end. I pray for them and welcome them to be wise and embrase Islam and pray to Almighty Allah for their forgiveness.
Offend the religious symbols of liberty is not for anything. The State of Denmark drag the prophet whole nation because they do not know it did not read the biography of the Prophet of Allah Muhammad. Any advocates of freedom and democracy false Is this democracy that aggressive advocate Is this the freedom that Brownie should have learned by others Educate yourself and God protects the nation’s prophet Mohammed. Will Boycott All products and Danish Boycott Denmark politically, economically, and all forms of boycott any State Ttjra Qaeda’s fate will be the fate of a dirt Aldnmamrk We are more than 2 billion Muslims will defend our Prophet with all possible legitimate and God will supports our Prophet Muhammad and the curse of the prophets or insult your mock them
Yes miserable, outlaws religion read the biography of the Prophet Muhammad that mercy to the worlds that will save mankind has not advocated terrorism days as do the United States and Israel in Palestine and Iraq that is American terrorism. Either our Prophet Muhammad did not support terrorism but is the day the saviour of all mankind Agheroua biography of the Prophet of God will know Muhammad is the seal of the prophets and messengers
I was looking at a picture on wikipedia that says “NAZI propaganda
And I saw the pictures directed against the prophet Mohamed.
The first picture is dubbed “Anti-Semitic and is assumed to be the work of the devil himself. The second picture is supposed to be some sort of manifestation of freedom and a sign of a healthy democracy. Im not sure that I understand the absolute wisdom behind this paradox, because they both look the same to me.
After all, world wars usually do not start because of lack of justice but, rather, because of bi-standards.
this is wrond that drawing the pis of Prothet Mohammad PeaceBe Upon Him are haram so plz its my reuest that kindly remove thses all pics
plz remove these all pics
in the hloy Quran Allah says to muslims that christains and jews can not be your friends.we being muslims are unfair to ourselves that we are decieved by them considering them our friends.how ean is it that one makes this sort of sketches about a person who was a true cause of the creation of this universe and all in it. o muslims Allah says that if you are not true to Him he will replace you with another nation and will make His followers amongst them. History has revealed that muslims not obeying Allah truely were replaced by Changaiz khan and Halaku khan. further Allah enlighted their generation with Islam. so being muslim you should wake up less you will be eliminated by Allah Himself.ALLAH does not need us but we need Allah to survive. in my opinion the only cause of muslims’ ruin are our rulers who are unfaithful to us so rise against every person who is unfaithful to ISLAM THE TRUE RELEGION. First start all this by jehad akbar-the jehad against ouselves and our worldly desires only in this way we wll bw able to fight for our ISLAM.
FI AMAN ALLAH.
ATEEQ-UR-REHMAN
Allah Says; in Quran
“Non-muslim can never be your friend
Christian and Jews are illiterate nation, they are giving by self-being a proof it.
holy prophet was the one who thought this world civilization so we cannot bear these cartones i request the Muslims taht they should baicote danish products
this fanatic religion is brainwashing and dangerous.. just like all other religions as well. and in this fairy-tale religion, fundamentalists teach to fight, kill, brainwash and suppress woman just to name a few. they use FEAR to drive their message. there is NO justification for these things. none… ever. it’s about time someone stood up to them, i think we all should. i am not scared of your tactics and where I come from we are allowed to post things like this.
the publishing of the cartoons is one of the major sins and the biggest mistake ever made by the danish people and INSHAALLAH they wilol soon learn that what they did was wrong. i strongly condemn these publishings and request the all muslims to boycott the products of denmark so that we can slap their economy. thanks
those who blame islam or consider it a barberic religion are ignorent.from the life histry of prophet Mohammad(SAW) it is clearly understood that he was a kind person not only for friends but for his enemies also.I pray to Allah to bless the Danish people with the Islam.I pray , their coming generation taste the sweetness of Islam InSHAALLAH

Islam is a religion teching fraternity, brotherhood and pace. How could its messenger will b standing with a knife in his hand? Do you have any one reason that islam is a religion of terror and bloodshed. So plz for GODsake just dont spread all this bull shit about Islam. Muslims are also human beings like other people then why r they martyerd. Plz dont damage our religious identity. Just read out muslim literature and uyou will find out the reality of Islam. Plz for just one time read the Literature of Islam And u will get the true spirit of Islam.
All Wat I can Say….
Muslims always protest about blasphemy to their prophet. How about Taliban destroying the Bamiyan Buddha. How many muslims condemned that act? Was their any mass demonstration? Please add to my information do you know of any buddhist who threatened to blow up mosques
@Ashraf,
try to understand, printing Nabi’s SAW caricatures
is the work of Nazi extreme right so called
journalists, the generation who cultivated this
impure culture against even jews during centuries,
they also printed and circulated the caricatures of
jews, and after they gased them in millions, So you
have to see who is behind this, they are always the
same dogs, your argument on Bamyan is not applicable,
because it is not done in austerity, it was conspiracy,
an organised action against even afghans who are
invaded and genocided by invaders. Those who are
invaded have such reaction, of course they do not
represent anyone. was this an official policy of
afganis ?? Its naive to come forward with such
denoucement, which will only increase attacks.
Some comments insist on Islam being this and that
peace, and peace and peace, when you are invaded,
your house destryed, kids butchered, women raped,
yooung hacked to death, exploded with thousands of
tons of bombs from air, you would save Bamyan, perhaps
they themselves bombed it. YOU UNDERSTAND ???
You must read the very first comment from Sayed Jafri.
@ Bakhtiar Khan Ahmedzai,
please take sense, you are preaching like
nuns and priests and pope, every thing you mentioned
is taken away from Afghans, you are left with only bombs
and your family’s dead bodies, and houses destructed,
you are teaching this “sabaq ” to USA pigs and alliences
anti-Islam crusaders salibis ? do they ask what Islam is?
before killing you ? answer me if you can !! thanks
@ Neha,
Danish people know or not,
if Danish law permits then ??
the whole Danish nation depends on their journal
and their traditions, do they have the right to
caricaturing Prophet Muhammed SAW ? findout please !!
@ cory,
either your retarded or biased or racist,or so dumb
not to understand that decency can also be something,
respect can also be something, only respecting onselves and not respecting others is barberic, are baberic,
primitives, what religion are you ? does your religion teaches you to insult others by caricaturing their Prophets
if i doi that to your wife mother sister and brothers and
your father or even your son, would say yes ??
Did your religion not killed other innocents since centureis, vikings who were they 1000 years you killed each
others, for what, you are still killing today but others
in IRAQ, AFGHANISTAN PAKISTAN africa, asia everywhere its
your race today which is genociding every where,
what can you answer to that we don’t have the right to kill
you and your families and your people ??
@ majid,
you are 2 million muslim, shame on you, really shame
on you what did you do, did you guys stood in front
of your parliament and shouted insults reminding them of
respect and decency towards others, asking them if it
was possible to do that in
today in 2008 to do such a shity dirty and low action
to produce respect or to insult someone, is this your
culture and civilization ? and the drama of Human rights
with big mouths and sharing Noble Peace prize what a joke
and insult to Humanity.
@Kumar, your comment of 14th oct is real nonsense,
you don’t know what you are talking all your Godesses
are already half or full naked, go to Kajurao to watch
kamasutra, in your religion you have 30 millions of
Gods each with a different face, you can redicule your religion as you wish but not everbody thinks like you, so
sou should start imposing you will on others ??
come on don’t use such a silly argument.
actually all those who are involved in such shamefull activities are mentally ill and thats why we should not care for them, these american and europeans are afraid of fast spread of ISLAM and everyone knows that ISLAM is the only religion which is perfect and scientific,i would like to tell every one that these psychos can’t do any harm by these stupid things as allah has promised that islam will remain till D.day only these mentally ills will perish. proud to be muslim allah-o-akber

da day po khazo raolagam
Really a shamefull post
Using the freedom of expression in such a chaotic world is a challenge now adays and when its comes to our beloved Prophet is must be even more restrictive. None on the face of earth has the right and authority to speak and carve funny and even filthy stuff about any of our Prophets.
The grade and position enjoys by our last Prophet Hazrat Muhammad Musatafa (peace be upon him) is his own speciality and any one must NEVER ever me allowed to make fun of it or try to degrade it.
The entire muslim world across the globe is Muhammad's blind follower and we can go to any extend to protect, maintain and enhance the pious image of our beloved Prophet.
Hay, Muhammad; listen we all love you very very much….
Well…at least he spelt illiterate right.
