Muhammad Depictions Controversy

Many sites speak against Islam and its prophet, many of them speak against the Koran and its teachings. No demonstrations have gone all out against them. They hold a POV that is not acceptable to Muslims, but that's fine. Many of them even attempt to do research about the topic they talk about to prove their POVs. The question is, would you consider someone who creates a film portraying Jesus or Mohammad as a child molester or as a fraud as someone practicing free speech? I think there is quite

~1.6B people consider drawing Mohammed to be a blasphemous action. That's not self-defense; that's antagonistic.

First of all.. certainly as a Muslim, I condemn the attack on Charlie Hebdo. This is not Islam.But, if I were to take the liberty to express my own opinion, I would say honestly, I think both parties were at wrong here. First that their have been many instances in the life of our prophet, when he faced not just harsh but inhuman treatment, specially in his hometown of Mecca. Yet he never lifted a finger or even wished for those people to get hurt (there is specific mention of this in Islam).

Muslims should be offended by both the South Park episode and this continued effort to offend Muslims by drawing offensive pictures of the Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him), precisely because its extremely offensive. Are death threats by rogue terrorist groups or chat room nerds (who knows) wrong, yes, quite simple everyone gets it.However that does not make dragging this out and going to extremes to further offend a group of people ok. I am Muslim myself, though not devout and lived my my

There is a huge difference. Saying that the video is just about a person and not about a group of people is incorrect in this particular context. Muslims have a huge affection, emotional attachment and love for their prophet which you wouldn't observe in followers of other religions. Unfortunately western cultures don't understand these deep ties and consider mockery here equivalent to any other common mockery. Although there are some other sensitive topics, such as Holocaust, which are treated

I am in favor of no special treatment for Muslims or anyone else just because they are offended, or some members of their group murder someone.I mean, all we have to do is draw a very important prophet, for god sake! We don't even have Mommahad do bad things them for them to get offended.Someone will get offended. Somebody will say politically incorrect things.I don't like other people to act like children when Christians endure religious satire and people saying all Chri

Like satirists posting pictures of Muhammad?

There are two parts to this issue, the most minor of which being that depictions of mohammed are forbidden. Indeed depictions of any prophet are frowned apon by the majority of muslims. Disney's 'The Prince of Egypt' was banned in many predominantly muslim countries for example. The reasoning behind this is that the worshiping of stone idols was the religion of the day in Mecca before Mohammed started evangelizing. It was the desire for Islam to be far removed from these practices. Yet for any r

Would that cover Muhammad caricatures?

It's not hate speech. It's sin. It's religiously forbidden to depict Mohammed, neither pejoratively nor complimentarily, the teaching is that one shall not depict the prophet anyhow.
