My questions are:
1) Why are Muslims so superstitious about seeing images of their prophet?
2) Why do they care whether people who don't share that superstition make images of that prophet?
3) Why do so Many Muslims feel entitled to push for secular laws to reflect the tenets of their own faith? In other words, why should anyone have to suffer religious oppression at the hands of another faith?
[I have a bias that anything worth saying can be said simply and succinctly. I will never wade through a post like your last one so keep it brief.]
1) We're not superstitious, it's not allowed for us to draw Angels, God, prophets etc. for many reasons.
2) Same reason why black people care if a newspaper prints racist black insults or draws a racist pic. Same reason why Jews get offended when "revisionist" historians deny the holocaust etc. etc. It's all about personal sensitivity at the end of the day. Something you find insulting, I might find acceptable, and vie versa.
3) Nobody should suffer religious oppression or persecution. You might want to ask the people about that, not me.
