Why should anyone apologise? Mohammed was put in Hell by Dante in His "Divina Comedia". Are they going to censor Dante too?... Then let's eliminate also Maimonides, who called Mohammed "CRAZY" and "ASSASSIN" Then let's eliminate also Torquato Tasso, El Cantar del Mio Sid, La Chanson de Roland, l'Orlando Furioso, etcetera, to please those who publish DAILY the most HIENOUS antisemitic cartoons since the times of Der Sturmer!!! When will the West stop bending over backwards to appease today's nazis, the islamic fundamentalists who have ALSO usurped Muslim tradition and want to sell THEIR view of Islam as THE ONLY and TRUE Islam?... These are the people who say that even Abraham was a muslim!!!

Don't be near Italian embassies folks!

2006...It is time to stop all kind of religious dictatorship and censorship. This goes for Christian Roman Catholic church lead by Panzer-Kardinal Benedict who condemns prophilactics, Islam extremisms expressing its ugly voice through the Moslem Brotherhood ( see caption below ) and Judaism of the extremes lead by various extreme rights dictators of the thought which are ALSO trying to impose upon the public their own view of religious principles. Religion is a private matter between the indicidual and God. PS: Independant sources have demonstrated, video and sound recording and all , that the Moslem Brotherhood branh in Denmark had set up the cartoon affair into a big propaganda stunt to test the west's behaviour and reaction. Arab masses , directed by Extremists propagandists have one the rest....and , as usual, the whole thing flared up ONLY UNDER DIRECTIVES AND MANIPULATIONS from extremist moslmem organisation. Gods and prophets can very well be seen on cartoons and NO ONE Will ever be able to forbid it ! This is the base of democracy ! We do not have to abide to Islamic dictatorship, Catholic censorship or Judaistic desiderate .

Guys you just GOTTA see episode 1003 and 1004 of south park (10th season episodes 3 and 4). YOU _MUST_. Seriously.

The notorious difference with jewish extremists is they never tried to bring non-jews or atheists under their legislation through coercive means,even by death threats.Moreover,they make extremly difficult to convert to judaism.

Destruction - for pursuing a constant death cult normally sects that teach death cults get closed down - what about this Sect - it is nothing else

I don't see why we civilized people should apologize to those savage creatures for anything. If they don't like our countries they can move back to their radioactive deserts and die of starvation. Besides, considering the child molesting tendencies of mohammed, if there was a hell, that's where he would be right now.

Abraham never said that he is Jew. Infact Judaism did not exist until long after his death. Islam is called "Millat Ibrahim" (The Religion of Abraham) throughout the Quran (2:130, 135; 3:95; 4:125; 6:161; 12:37-38; 16:123; 21:73; 22:78). Abrahim/Ibrahim is a very common name for Muslims. Cheers ...

Here they go again about the prophet, I want to make sure that the islam respects every prophet and muslims beleive in all the prophets(jesus, moses, ........) so why people do not understand this. the people should have respect for the prophets and all of them, what is next....... they are going to publish cartoons about God. the freedom of the press does not mean the attack on the prophets. The editors should think about this.

and remember that: Judaism predates Islam by some 2200 years - so don't start spreading fake information Jews' presence in what are now Arab lands long predates Islam So forget about the founding father being a Muslim - when Islam only started to exist long after Christianity came around Judaism is the oldest one - look at your Muslim calendar Jews live in the year 5766 - Christians in 2006 - 1428 H. calendar

Islam began in the 7th century. Before that the Arabs were pagans, divided up into various tribes. Abraham (Avraham) wasn't the first Jew but the first monotheist. Yes, he was the father of the two lineages: the Jewish people - from Yitzhak (Isaac) and the Arab people from Yishmael. We were first called B'nai Yisrael - the Children of Israel (who was Yaakov). Only after we were in our Land and expelled from Judea = in Eretz Yisrae - were we called Jews.

Jeff, great to quote a new book [in this case the quran], but the muslim religion was invented only in the 7th century AD, Judaism was around Many many years prior to the invention of the muslim religion. Your argument has no validity if based on age of religion, jusaism is far older a religion than the muslim religion. While the arabs were herding goats in the desert, the jews were helping to create civilization. and Avraham is a common name for Jews. Thanks for the try, I'll give you point on that one.

Islam started with Abraham, It was perfected by Mohammed 1428 years ago. All prophets updated Islam as they went along. Jesus never said that he is Christian, infact the name 'christianity' started well after Jesus died. Almost all religion are named after a holy person or a place such as Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism, Sikkhism, Hinduism, Zorastrian, etc. EXCEPT Islam whose name was given by God to Abraham. Cheers ....

FACTS 1) ABRAHAM/Avraham was never a Muslim. He did not belong to that violent death cult. 2) Mohammed the murderer, thief, rapist, child molester created Islam in 622 C.E. to staisfy his evil lusts for power, materialism, and carnal pleasure even breaking laws he created in islam saying they came from allah(their moon god). 3)Mohammed before murdering them all was influenced by Jews and Christians and had come in contact with the bible of the Jews and of the christians. Therefore he stole/borrowed much but twisted much in some cases up to 180 degrees the other way. 4)There was once MANY MANY Jews living in the Arabian peninsula before their murder ,rape, forced conversions and enslavement as detailed in the writings of Islam. 5) From the time of Abraham Judaism did exist thought the torah was not given yet . there was a basis. Full torah Judiasm did not exist for another 400 years. It can also be argued that rabbinical Judiasm didn't come about until later but it was Judaism. The story of Abraham can bef ound in book of Bereshit/Genesis. 6) "Abrahim/Ibrahim is a very common name for Muslims. " Yes taking my 3) into account you see why it is a popular name. That proves nothing. Jesus was a Jew and today there are a lot of spanish speaking Catholics with the name Jesus(pronounced Hey-soos). However, that doesn't make Jesus an Hispanic does it? What's wrong with depicting someone's opinion in the media? Also, it is probably true seeing as this Mohammed was a very very evil person rivaling hitler. YimaK SHmam. It is time the world takes a stand against this dangerous death cult that has been tryting to take over the world(remember they want spain again, simply because they conquered it before). Also they openly admit in Arabic that their goal is that the whole world would be under the Caliphate/Islamic. Israel should lead the way here in its homeland ans stop cowering.

Jews live in the year 5766 - Christians in 2006 - 1428 H. calendar Now do you as well want to change the calendars now: Judaism predates Islam - no matter how much you try to live on Lies study history

I have just been discussing this cartoon online with an Italian friend. Some points to note: In this cartoon, Muhammad "appears off-camera," so to speak -- his image is NOT drawn. In the one-panel cartoon, a figure in medieval Italian costume (Dante) gestures at the lake of flames and says, "the guy who is cut in two from head to buttocks -- isn't that Muhammad?" A second figure in a Roman toga (Vergil) answers, "Yes, he is divided just as he divided society! And see the woman with her pants down -- that's how Italian politics responds to Islam."

Now, this should make your mates proud ... not

What is there to apologize for? .

FYI In the Bible in the book of Acts,chapter 11:26 ...And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch. The book of Acts was written around A.D. 62. Also the quran is an example of the Bible being twisted. 2Peter 3:16- as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, hard to understand which UNTAUGHT and UNSTABLE people twist to their own destruction, as they do the rest of the Scriptures."

Especailly from an unreconstructed lowlife bigot like you. You are a proof that garbage sometimes goes uncollected in Switzerland.

Don't forget God rejected Ishmael and Abraham sent him away. Ishmael's descendents were chosen to be trouble for the Jews. The Jews were chosen to reveal God to the world and Ishmael's descendents show their calling by the trouble their false religion Islam is causing in the world. I'd say not cut from the same cloth, same father or not.

period - you are the garbage that needs to be collected and thrown out of the USA You and yours are a misfit of society

Destruction - pursuing a constant death cult normally sects that teach death cults get closed down - what about this Sect - it is nothing else

Didn't any muslims see the last south park episode, where a depiction of the prophet was shown on national TV. Why no uproar? I get it ...only when it is comfortable for them to make noise do they make noise. I think I understand the anger though (but not the reaction). Its like we jews believe that we are not to take God's name in vain. We can interpret this in various ways, but no doubt that if the hebrew letters yood-hey-vav-hey were to appear in a silly satirical cartoon or something of the sort, all the haredim would go berzerk. With the muslims, they are not to make any depiction of their prophet. With them, there are NO various interpretaions (which therein may lie the problem with Islam), but only one. We need to say outright to the muslim community in the west (in the east they won't listen to us)-- either modernize your religion or don't impose it's restrictions on US!!

Your stupid pictures, printed without true thought, dont hurt u in ur expensive homes and nice offices, but us patrolling the streets, trying to keep the peace ! Come on the front line and then you wont publish stupid pics ever again ! A US SOLDIER !

So you are suggesting the west should change its history and its laws to appease the invaders?
