Answer 4

Good question....I think the evidence of that is in the way they typically over reacted & we in the west let them get away with it once again. Christians are called to love their neighbour ...what about Muslims ? Do they share the same ethos or do they want to dominate the entire world no matter what ? If the latter is their agenda , says a lot about their faith ....can only win by the sword !

Answer 5

It's hypocricy from the Islamic world. They regularly portray Jesus, God, Buddha etc in a derogatory way but *some* Muslims are up in arms when Muhammad (PBUH) is represented as a caricature.

Most religions accept that their faith will be ridiculed and scorned and accept this with humility but *some* Muslims are fanatics and anything said or done that could be construed as being in the least bit disparaging sets them off.

The Christinas used to be the same you know but have calmed down a lot in the last 500 years.

Answer 6

Jesus is always illustrated that way by many and no christian leader don't respond by killing innocent lives.

Answer 7

freedom is not 2 offend people bcoz of their beliefs. the caricatures were very humiliating and because we care and we love prophet Muhammad (PBUH) ,we didn't want any body 2 offend him bcoz that means that he offend us!
and if the same happened 2 Jesus (PBUH) we would act the same

Answer 8

I don't think that Islam is a very easy or pleasant religion. I really don't think it should be considered a religion by our country or our news media. But, I believe in "freedom of expression". So they use my belief in "freedom of expression" to take my freedom of expression away from me.

I am 63 years old, and I have never seen the world so screwed up in regards to how we are allowing any Muslim to be violent to anyone ... period.

I thank God, I was not raised to be a Muslim.

But, I am afraid we the people are going to have to do something to stop them, before it is too late for our children and grandchildren.

Answer 9

The more a religion freaks out about the tiniest matter, the more fragile it reveals itself to be.

Muslims in Bangladesh rioted a Thom McAn shoe store after surmising that a logo on the shoe resembled the word "Allah". One person was killed, as I recall, and many were injured. It's ridiculous. A religion that is so inflexible and absurdly fundamentalist is a cult, not a faith.

Answer 10

Any culture that glorifies violence will express its violent tendancies. Muslim leaders whine about being treated as violent, irrational, and stupid barbarians. Somehow they have missed the point that a religion is judged by its followers... and if the followers are violent, irrational, stupid and barbarous? You do the math.
