wow, thanks for posting... i hadn't actually seen the cartoons, only heard a lot about them... personally, i dont think they are that offensive... like others have said, family guy is much worse... though apparently this is just the tip of the iceburg kind of deal... but, seriously, people dead because of this? holy...

there were cartoons produced ( i believe) and distributed in Europe and the US depicting the Islamic prophet Mohammed as a link to terrorism.

Mohommed is apparently looked upon as a symbol of non-violence yet Islamic fundamentalists in the ME are up in arms about these cartoons and acting in the opposite way.

yadayadayada. thats my take.

Pakistani security forces arrested hundreds of Islamic hard-liners and virtually sealed off the capital Islamabad today, before using gunfire and tear gas to disperse a Prophet Mohammed cartoon protest that had been banned by the government after a wave of deadly riots.

Elsewhere in the Muslim world, demonstrators with wooden staves and stones tried unsuccessfully to storm the US Embassy in Indonesia, while tens of thousands rallied in the Turkish city of Istanbul and complained about negative Western perceptions of Islam.

Troops patrolled the deserted streets of the northern Nigerian town of Maiduguri, where thousands of Muslims attacked Christians and burned churches on Saturday, killing at least 15 people during a protest against the cartoons. Most of the victims were beaten to death by rioters.

The cartoons published by a Danish newspaper in September and reprinted by other Western publications have caused outrage among Muslims, and mass protests have turned increasingly violent and claimed at least 45 lives worldwide: including 11 in Afghanistan, and 10 on Friday in the Libyan coastal city of Benghazi during riots outside the Italian consulate – apparently sparked by a right-wing Italian minister who wore a T-shirt with a prophet caricature.

I'm sorry I soooo had to post this.......

[esoter1c]

It's not the cartoons that they find offensive.

It's the fact no image of Mohammed is to be made.

No engraven image type shit.

Yeah.:066:

[BongMan]

I really loved the last paragraph

Ethem Erkovan, a 47-year old protester, who held a banner in one hand and his daughter in the other, accused Western nations of maligning Islam. “They are the ones who are trying to depict the expanding Islamic community as terrorists, though all we want is peace,” he said.

Western nations malign Islam but here they are torching churches embassies and people are dieing..

[Filo]

all these retarded muslims are giving the rest a bad name... it's a cartoon.... aka.. a JOKE.

I was brought up by my muslim side, and can guarantee you that they aren't all this uptight. I was expecting some really racist shit to pop up, but if this is as bad as it gets then this outcry is over nothing. Seems like these extremists are just trying to prove how tough they are and how they won't stand for certain shit.

probably when we stop seeing it on the news.

on a lighter note there's some speculation that some kids are trapped underneath alot of mud in the phillipenes. i always knew text messaging would be good for something other than texting muchmusic.

there was also apparently a picture of a bomb wearing a turban and a beard that said "The Prophet Mohammed". I haven't seen it personally, just word-of-mouth. But I mean, I once saw a muslim cartoon of George Bush fucking a dog!

its not the same thing. george bush isnt a worldwide religous figure. just as 3075whateverthefuck said, they were up in arms over the fact that no one is supposed to do any sort of physical rendering of the likeness of muhammed thier prophet, PARTICULARLY if it is racist and offensive.

[tiedye]

fair enough, I never thought of it that way.
