I was really puzzled about Islam. They do believe that Jesus was a prophet. Mohammed also is prophet. But why is it that they almost kill anyone even to display the carricature of Mohammed, while the carricature of Jesus is not?

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) had very high regards for Jesus (pbuh) and Mary.
I've heard that when Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was on an idol-demolishing spree he never 'touched' or showed any kind of disrespect to the idols of Jesus (pbuh) and Mary.
Now, coming to your question; it is known to all and sundry that Islam condenms idolatry in the strongest possible sense. The Prophet himself never allowed anyone to draw or recreate his image. And Muslims worldwide have maintained this tradition ever since
Thus, the caricature of our Prophet is bound to create chaos since it goes against the very message of Islam.

We believe that Jesus(pbuh) was a prophet as well as Abraham
(pbuh) and Moses(pbuh). We have all of the same prophets as in the Bible with the addition of the Prophet Mohammed(pbuh) who was the last prophet of Allah. We believe that all the prophets should be respected and that no caricatures of any kind should be drawn of any of them. But the Prophet Mohammed was the last prophet, he was the one that preserved the words of Allah in the original form. And this is why he is more dear to the hearts of Muslims around the world. The question should be if the Christians believe that Jesus is the son of God , the savior, then why don't they feel the same way when Jesus is depicted in a bad way? Why do they ignore someone mocking their "Savior"?

Muslims do believe in Jesus as a prophet and Islam came after Christianity by Muhammad(pbuh) from God bcuz things were changed in Christianity by their popes .
but i have to make something clear: the ppl who kill in the name of Islam now a days they got Islam wrong.u shudent kill any one
if u really know Islam ull know that Islam says that the only condition some one cud kill any other person is in war or in self defense !
and if u saw a carricature of Jesus just tell a muslim abt it and see how he reacts !

Carricature of Jesus (PBUH) is also very much forbidden among Muslims. There are a number of Muslims who didn't watch Passion of Christ and other movies having Jesus (PBUH) just because of the point you mentioned.
Pictures of any Prophet, or God Himself, is against Islam because Idol Worshipping is highly Forbidden in Islam. According to wholly Quran, we (Muslims) are not supposed to kill everyone who is idol worshipping or is not a Muslim, but to try to convince them with peace. The point you are discussing is about making a fun of The Almighty God (as Prophets are sent by Him) and also making a fun of others' believes.
Anyone who has a faith on something gets mad if you make a fun of his/her believes, especially about the Greatest personalities, For Muslims, that's The Almighty God (Allah) and any one of His Prophets (PBUAT).

First: The Koran became into written a lot latter than Bible, over six hundred years to be genuine. The Gospel writers, different than for Luke, all hung out with the truthfully guy or woman of Jesus. that for the time of and of itself is sufficient to warrant the Bible as greater authoritative than the Koran. 2d: there is not any pagan tale that exists that suits up with the Gospels. this could properly be a straw guy argument utilized via atheists it is actual debunked via doing some own learn into the problem. possibly you may initiate there...

wait ........... that is why muslims WORLD-WIDE banned the movie and novel Da Vinci Code -- for we cant stand false propagandas against Jesus-pbuh. we love him more than Christians. i think the world is a witness to how much christians and other people payed more than their pockets to watch this movie. oh yeah and muslims did take out rallies against it. Muhammedor Jesus-pbuh or any of the 1,24,000 prophets of God -- are all Equal and no distinction is to be done between them.
they are people who had dedicated their lives for us -- they were so selfless and were not self-centered. they spent their life just teaching the word of God to us. thus, it is now time for us to honor and give them the respect they deserve.

But really, is there any caricature that make fun of Jesus or any other prophet. And i mean really degrade Jesus(peace be upon him)
Anything that degrade any prophet is an insult to the Muslims.

Best Question I have seen on here!

because just as Christians value Jesus over Moses, Muslims value Mohammed more than they do Jesus.
