(March 23, 2013 at 7:17 pm)The Germans are coming Wrote: I would like to read some muslim opinions on the mohammed caricatures to be precice.
So, if you think it should be illegal and punishable to make fun of islam and it`s prophet, can you give me an argument for your motion which a non muslim might understand and or even agree on?
What you need to understand is that "Muslim anger" is something that the religious leaders use to inflame and control their subjects.
Before the Danish cartoons, and the ridiculously crappy film "Innocence of Muslims", Southpark featured Mohammed as one of the 7 Super Best Friends.

No one ever made a fuss about it. I have a lot of Muslim friends that were not only not offended, but they also found the episode amusing.
On the other hand there are a lot of things that come out that should offend Muslims but because their religious leaders don't mobilize, no one riots and destroys embassies.
You have a selection of stupid and offensive fatwas to glare upon.
You also have a myriad of instances where the same clerics would preach against the "tyranny of the common Jew" but fail to act to protect their "fellow Muslims" that are being kiilled in Gaza.
In Islamic history, Mohammed was drawn even though rarely. As well as other figures of religious importance such his cousin Ali Bin Abi Taleb.
Muslims are passing through the dark ages right now and as in any dark ages, criticism and humour are not only frowned upon, but are tickets to a painful death.
