Insulting the Prophet Muhammad
I am not very religious so maybe i shouldn't even comment on this, but......
So the Danish and the Norwegian put out "controversial cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad." and now there are riots, rallys and protests going on. Muslims in Syria burnt the Duch Embassy in rage and protest of the cartoons. Muslims in Canada are prostesting out side the Duch consulet in Halifax. Clearly they are out raged.
"The protesters said insulting the Prophet Muhammad is an insult to Muslims everywhere."
now like i said i am not a religious person, and i have not seen these cartoons but, what is the big deal!? how often is Christ's name and image slandered? isn't Christianity and Catholicism the butt of many, many jokes and the sorce of a lot of entertainment? as in whole sections in joke books. and Hinduism? no one seems overly fussed when Family guy and the Simpsons constantly poke fun of Vishnu or Ganesha!
If these cartoons from Denmark and Norway are an instult to Muhammad and Muslims then why aren't these other cartoons an instult to Christians and hindus and who ever else has had their religion made fun. What about the Unitarians? they certainly get their fair share of jokes.
Relaxe. it isn't the end of the world. Muhammad has been slandered, yes. But in many cultures to name a person after a profet or a god is an astronomical insult, so in a way Muhammad Ali has slandered Muhammad, especailly by his violence.
I'm not saying the Muslims don't have a right to be upset but if you look at what we consider entertainment the Muslim faith wasn't far behind the Hindu faith. I personaly think that its sad that our entertainment has fallen back on the religions that we don't understand. And it just proves that are entertainment is our wars. think about it
don't all religions tells us to love each other?
