Re: Mohamed cartoons.
here's a few things i got from another site i haunt...
Jewish people beleive they can't say the word for God in hewbrew, gods name,that is repsected.
Christians think that Jesus was born to a virgin, a biologically impossible concept but that is respected.
Sikhs have long hair and beards, that is repected.
Hindu people hold cows holy, you never show caractures of what they hold holy like them worshipping burgers...
Why should muslims put up with what we hold dear being trampled upon in the name of free speach?
just because a few muslims have decided to do things the wrong way does not give anyone a license to ridicule us.
Jordanian independent tabloid al-Shihan reprinted three of the cartoons on Thursday, saying people should know what they were protesting about, AFP news agency reports.
"Muslims of the world be reasonable," wrote editor Jihad Momani.
"What brings more prejudice against Islam, these caricatures or pictures of a hostage-taker slashing the throat of his victim in front of the cameras or a suicide bomber who blows himself up during a wedding ceremony in Amman?"
yes we do realise that some of the reaction has been more than over the top. protest if you must but why step over the mark and start death threats...
Danish-Swedish dairy giant Arla Foods says the ongoing boycott of Danish products in the Middle East had so far cost it between £40m and £50m.
As the Muslim world refuses to buy Danish goods in protest over cartoons published in a Danish newspaper, Arla is losing £1m a day
Maybe now - the Danish press will see how being civil and respecting anothers beliefs will benefit them too.
I also found it amusing how when some top ranking German bod was questioned if anti-semitic cartoons would be allowed to be published, causing offence....he said 'no, as there are limits' LOL
