Bookmark topic
it's the prophet, in a turban, that looks like a bomb, and it says there is but one God on it.
Assosiciates Islam with terrorism, the blowing up of the religion, the disregard for the respect of God, plus he looks slightly Sikhi, (so Sikh's could take offence)
It's not about the comic, it's about the fact that they MUST have at least thought that Muslims would take great offence, and despite being such a major population, they didn't give a shit.
Here's my opinion on it.

@Gelfen - VERY well put, that was basically what I was trying to say, except you put it more succinctly!
The cartoons were perhaps a misuse of free speech, but the reaction to them has been grossly over the top. And a bit hypocritical in some ways - reacting to a cartoon in a paper in some European country by threatening violence and issuing death threats!
This world is very, VERY screwed up. We're screwed. We'll be lucky to see the 22nd century the way we're headed. And it will be something petty that starts armageddon off.

I dont agree with the death threats, those were made by idiots.
Their argument is just, the way they want to sort this is wrong.
And it's just stuff like that which takes us in full circle and will help people associate Islam with bombs.

Indonesian Moslems,including me, have reacted hard against that insulting cartoon row. We're angry and offended badly. Islam is a peace religion on Earth..Never will this happen again..

unfortunately the reaction of a minority does give the impression to people who dont know that islam is peaceful.
people on the streets of london with there faces covered and banners calling for the slaying of the cartoonist. doesnt give the impression of peace.
i said earlier and ill say it again the best course of action would have been to ignore it by doing that the fire isnt fuelled and it would have slipped away very quickly now its going to linger and cause more tension, with ouver religious groups wondering why its ok for things like life of brian etc but not over for this

im not sure how you can equate the 2. you love mohammad the messanger of god. your love is based on the teaching and word of god as dictated in the quran.
a bloke draws a sterotypical picture of an arab looking person and puts the name muhammad next to it and this attacks your love of the real muhammad wich youve never seen a picture of or have no idea what he looked like as islam forbids idol s in case the idol is worshipped and not allah.
to me its a mountain been made out of a mole hill and the anti ilsam brigade must be laughing as everytime they throw something as islam they keep on hitting it back.
to me the picture is only offensive as it portrays a stereo typical image of a middle eastern person

Have to agree with gelfen's post.
Muslims are not going to convince the world that their religion is one of peace when nutcases threaten violence against citizens of countries where the cartoons have been published.
In fact it reinforces the strereotypes of muslims as being intolerant of any opnion that challenges their collective world view( which is not true).
Muslims can co-exist with people of other religions but I suspect that for recent immigrants to Europe the shock of a secular society must've been to great.
Instead of boycotting Danish, Franch and Norwegian goods Muslims opposed to the depiction of their prophet as a terrorist should protest against kidnapping, beheadings and all sorts of terrorist acts which are perpertrated by a minority in a quest to drive infidels from Islam's holy sites.
