Hollywood, the media and others deem it ok to say things about Jesus, or depict him in anyway. Muslims have a great love for their prophet and therefore we will protect his memory and honour him in a fitting way. I am totally against people being burned at the stake for naming teddy bears and drawing cartoons, but should cartoons come out i shall voice my disagreements very loudly.

Yeah, keep objecting to cartoons and teddy bear names. That'll convince the world you are sane. Uh, huh.

You also call Jesus a great prophet. I don't see you getting all bent out of shape about anything said about him.
The Teddy Bear was not meant to offend. To be perfectly honest it should be a complement and if you can't understand that who is lacking cultural sensitivity? The Teddy bear is named after one of our greatest Presidents, Teddy Roosevelt.

You're kidding right? Every religious figure and leader has been depicted negatively or even blasphemed in media outlets and in Hollywood. It may seem that the heat is on the Muslims for now, but if you open your eyes, it's on everyone. Even the atheists get blasted sometimes.

I did not know that Muslims considered Muhammed to be sacred - I thought that distinction was held only for God.
As for Hollywood and Jesus, I find it disgusting in how He is often portrayed; however, I don't kill people over it. There is a difference.

I fully support your right to voice your disagreements loudly. It is when your buddies in arms commit ruthless acts of violence while whining like crybabies about how insulted they are that I no longer support them.

Islam does have the...if someone pushes you...push them back.....but if someone badmouths you.....don't play their game.
If you don't agree with something...you don't' have to disrespect it.....but alot of people don't have that view. Most muslims have the....i don't care if you dont' like mohammad...you don't have to disrespect him. Then the few have the...i'm gonna kill you cuz of it. These people get the media attention. Which then fuels the view that islam is 100% intollerant and almost eggs people on to do things like that.
Can't say i'm perfect, i've enjoyed making people upset at one point in my life.

Listen my friend. I respect your beliefs but do you really feel Mohamed would want you to murder in his name on issues like the use of his name or likeness. Do you feel Allah wants you to kill non believers or enlighten them as to the "true path" in your view? Does not Allah AKA God want all to understand his will.
People who do not understand something make jokes about it. This should not be a signal to fight but a signal that those people whom do not understand you need to be introduced to your ways in a peaceful way. If they then understand you they will respect you and the jokes will lessen. If you get violent then people get angry and people make mean jokes when they are angry. Many of the people whom offend Mohamed in your view, make jokes of their own prophet.
I hate to say this cheesy line but: Cant we all just get along?

When Muslims destroyed those large Egyptian statues of non-Islamic Gods did they consider their sacredness? But if someone does it to their beliefs, kill them?
