There was all the outrage concerning the cartoons from the Danish newspapers a few months back, but where was the outrage and protest against the murder of the 300+ school children in Beslan Russia. Is there a double standard or are muslims hypocritical by nature?

OK, this is for Carmen. I was "living" in Kuwait when this event happened and not even the Government or Newspapers there printed anytype of apology for what happened. There was a small piece in one of the English speaking papers that said it was wrong to kill in the name of religion.

So yes Carmen, I do know what I am talking about. So pull your head out of your **** and wake up. I have hadeiths and versus that basically says that its ok for Muslims to kill non muslims. I've noticed how youve gotten very defensive and crazy with your little artical, I bet next you'll find something that says Bin Laden wasnt responsible for 9/11 after he already admitted it.

There wasn't any outrage and it seems they have a profound ingrained nature of Denial.

Do you really think that they would answer you and admit this?

.................................................................................

The answer below proves my point about their denial.

Their religion encourages to even kill their own innocent people!

Muhammed robbed caravans and murdered innocent people for a living!!

FIRST of all, where are you getting your information from?! At the time of that horrifying incident every single Muslim I know was absolutely devestated that those monsters could kill innocent people, not to mention children, in the name of Islam.

"The Chechen separatist leader Aslan Maskhadov immediately denied that his forces were involved in the siege. He condemned the action and all attacks against civilians via a statement issued by his envoy Akhmed Zakayev, currently resident in London. Aslan Maskhadov later on November 1 called Shamil Basayev a terrorist for his involvement in the Beslan crisis."

"On March 8, 2005, Aslan Maskhadov, the elected President of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria, was killed in what was likely an assassination attempt by the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB). Maskhadov was a committed Muslim of the Naqshbandi tariqa and a brilliant and successful military commander. His political moderation placed him in an uncomfor-table position between Moscow’s authoritarianism and brutality on one side, and unwieldy gangs and terrorists -- some foreign -- on the other.
In his refusal to compromise the right of his people to independence, and his rejection and condemnation of the targeting of civilians, Maskhadov’s life and death evinced a kind of heroism that was as uplifting as it was tragic."

Our religion clearly states that a Muslim should never kill an innocent person no matter what, even in war. Unfortunately, some so called -Muslims misuse or misunderstand this beautiful religion to commit despicable acts like that, and that really kills me as a Muslim who believes in tolerance and peace.

SECONDLY, you really shouldn't compare those two situations. The Danish cartoon incident was blown way out of proportion because it became an international hot topic; freedom of expression and secularism (trademark of western culture) versus the religion taboo (trademark of eastern culture). Europeans claimed that it's the right of journalists to be free from any restrictions, and Muslims felt that the cartoons didn't serve any purpose but insult their beliefs and beloved Prophet and hurt their feelings.

Now sadly, tragedies take place every single day all around the world and people don't nessesarily take to the streets in protest every time. When an innocent person is killed unjustly, we all feel ourage, but perhaps most of the time only in our hearts.
