I firmly beleive that everyone on this earth has a right to speech. i am not saying that whether printing of those cartoons was a good act or heinous one, It may have hurted thousand of sentiments but why islam is so close minded that it can't ignore any of these issues.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14053277.post-79188570917196213182008-02-20T21:23:00.000+05:302008-02-20T21:23:00.000+05:30Dear Velvet-hammer!I am happy to see that you are ...Dear Velvet-hammer!<BR/><BR/>I am happy to see that you are seeking to know what is it in your writing that others do not find appropriate (This does not necessarily mean that you are wrong). Many insensible people disappear after making even outrageous statements, which shows lack of sincerity to say the least. Anyway...<BR/><BR/>I find it quite illogical when you slap somebody and if he hurts you in reaction, you tell this entire episode in a reverse sequence of events.<BR/><BR/>So far as the 'violence' is concerned, I find it outrageous even when people come out of their homes for work. If they didn't, there would be no accidents, corruption or harrasment. Such people are so mean they do not mind taking others lives for their own earnings. :)<BR/><BR/>Each religion has its own philosophy. Christians consider Jesus to be God. Muslims consider him to be a true prophet, passionate to others. Islam is particular about Halal, while sikhism considers it cruel and so forbid it. Christians do have alcohol in Church, whereas Islam forbids alcohol in general. Hindus believe in multiple Gods.<BR/><BR/>All the above examples suggest that every religion is free to have its own doctrine without caring for whether they go against some other religion. Muslims do not see hindus believing in multiple gods a reaction to Islam. Neither do Sikhs consider that Islam insists on Halaal in reaction to the Sikh practice.<BR/>Similarly, Christians should continue to have alcohol in Church without preaching that Muslims hate their happiness and their enjoying alcohol and hence it is forbidden in Islam.<BR/><BR/>To your question: "Why do Muslims expect others to obey Islam". Though this is so illogical and is not worth answering, nevertheless;<BR/>Not hurting other's sentiments is the least expected of any civilized people. Westerners and Christians show an utter lack of it by uttering such sentences.<BR/><BR/>I wonder why can't westerners express themselves without hurting others. Having done that they start scrutinizing minute details of reaction rather than what caused the reaction.<BR/><BR/>I am quite sure you already understand all this. <BR/><BR/>So, the real questions to ask might be:<BR/><BR/>1. Where does my freedom of expression end?<BR/><BR/>2. If precaution is better than cure, should the cartoon be fixed or the Muslims?<BR/><BR/>3. If Muslims are fine with Christians and others not considering Muhammad as a prophet.<BR/>Why can't Christians be fine with Muslims not considering Jesus as their God? <BR/><BR/>Why so much reaction to Muslims not believing in your God (Jesus) and consider it a contempt and do all such mud slinging by exloiting 'freedom of expression'?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14053277.post-7248764307853575532008-02-20T03:38:00.000+05:302008-02-20T03:38:00.000+05:30Urdudaan "If I call you a rascal, I am just 'explo...Urdudaan <BR/><BR/>"If I call you a rascal, I am just 'exploiting' freedom of expression."<BR/><BR/>Sticks and stones. lol <BR/><BR/>Thought for the day...<BR/>“If all printers were determined not to print anything till they were sure it would offend nobody, there would be very little printed.” -Benjamin FranklinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14053277.post-17617273894244136142008-02-20T03:26:00.000+05:302008-02-20T03:26:00.000+05:30Urdudaan Could you please clarify why you feel my ...Urdudaan <BR/><BR/>Could you please clarify why you feel my my "thoughts are devoid of any logic". I truly want to understand where you are coming from.<BR/><BR/>Do you believe in your heart of hearts that violence and death and destruction is a fair response to a cartoon?<BR/><BR/>I get that Muslims find the cartoons offensive. I do. But death and violence as revenge?? I can not understand why anyone would think that should be even remotely considered the right way to protest. It is neither sane nor logical. Or civilized for that matter.<BR/><BR/>Why should Westerners follow the laws of Islam? Do you follow all other religious doctrines other than Islam? Of course you do not. So why do Muslims expect non-Muslims to obey Islam? That is kooky and <I>illogical</I> ! lol<BR/><BR/>indscribe<BR/><BR/>'We believe in Jesus, can't you respect Muhammad?<BR/><BR/>Maybe so. Though there is a huge difference. You change the story of Jesus. Twisting it all around. It could be considered blasphemous. But to Christians only fellow Christians can commit blasphemy. <BR/><BR/>Christians do not expect others to go along with all they say. We sure as heck do not hold violent & deadly global riots. To the tune of thousands of participants. There are no death threats. No bounties offered for beheadings. No deaths as in Theo Van Gogh.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14053277.post-29864952445683213642008-02-19T15:06:00.000+05:302008-02-19T15:06:00.000+05:30Velvethammer!Your thoughts stink.

There are no excuses and no justifications to be found. Period. As offended as some Muslims may be, said offense should not of ever led to the deaths of another human being.<BR/><BR/>"The caricature is not just offensive <B>because Islam forbids</B> pictorial depiction of Prophet,"<BR/><BR/>Key phrase in bold. As the entire world's people are not Muslim why should they follow along with Islamic doctrine? Answer they should not have to. By any stretch of the imagination.<BR/><BR/>"...but also because the 'bomb-shaped turban' in the caricature is a fascistic attempt"<BR/><BR/>"What the cartoonist wanted to say with his cartoon was that <B>many people exploit the prophet to legitimize terror.</B> However, the cartoon was widely seen as a depiction of the prophet as a terrorist." <BR/><BR/>Which has been proven a hundred fold.<BR/><BR/>"Berlingske Tidende newspaper did not print the cartoons during the crisis which followed the cartoons' original publication. But Lisbeth Knudsen, its current editor-in-chief, said <B>doing so now was intended as 'a clear and unambiguous message' to extremists"</B><BR/><BR/>"We can't accept that freedom of speech be taken hostage by religious fanaticism. Freedom of speech can be respectful and tolerant, but it should <B>never be intimidated into silence.</B>"<BR/><BR/>Above all else is the plot to kill Kurt Westergaard.

They are in fact dragging muslims into resorting to similar attacks on their religion and proving their point (there is always one).<BR/><BR/>Muslim retaliation is bound to happen sooner or later as they are left with no option but to imitate such cheap acts of western civilization. Law is made to consider this as 'freedom of expression' and civic values are just to be expected from muslims and never reciprocated to them.<BR/><BR/>It makes me uncomfortable thinking of Muslims left with no options doing such mud-slinging on other religions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
