31. religious tolerance? where?
ayman ,   dubai   (02.02.06)
can't respond to those of you who vilify islam, you have your point of view and i can't be bothered to change it. I'm british arab, muslim and grew up around my share of americans and jews, It's helped me look at the world from a number of angles. I can only engage with people who respect people. Muslims are people, and while we cannot command your respect, i hope there are some of you who can appreciate that many individuals among us deserve it. I guarantee you that if political influences and commercial interests were removed from the equation, the muslim nation, the jewish nation and the christian world can live in pax and harmony within each others' folds. Of course this is an ideallic scenario.....for now all I can do is spread my own brand of love to all the muslim, jewish and christian women that i come across :-)
32. Gratitude ?
Jacob ,   Denmark   (02.02.06)
I agree Kate. I also wonder where's the gratitude from the 250.000 muslims that live in Denmark (of 5 mill. inhabitants) - many (most?) on social welfare. Muslims that came as refugees and was given a home in Denmark. They were given the right to speak freely and maintain their religion. Do they thank us ? And the small country of Denmark send $40+ mill. to Gaza every year along with peacekeeping police - do they thank us ? No they burn our flag and christian symbol and threaten to kill! Thank you and jihad :-(
33. the cartoons
Cheryl Lockwood ,   Miami Beach USA   (02.02.06)
Looks as if France has been using stem-cell research to develope a spine. Maybe a sense of hunor is a side-affect. CAL
34. is that worth killing ?
jerome ,   NY, uSA   (02.02.06)
I am sorry but how offending it must have been for them, it is still not worth asking for the murder of anyone.
35. Poeple Dont Know About Islam They Just Talk
muslim ,   egypt   (02.02.06)
The Prophet is Real Some Poeple say He Doesnt Exist ..............The Prophet was one of the most Civilized ppl on His Time he Never entered a War and killed Children Or Females or Praying Poeple His Poeple Never Made Fun Of Any Other Messengers Like Jesus For Example We Shared Respect And Now The Denmark Repays and Makes Fun of Our Prophet !
36. Islam is Peace?
pavan ,   USA   (02.02.06)
How many religions teach their followers to strap a bomb on their back, walk into a public place and BLOW THEMSELVES UP? Did'nt Hitler start his movement(s) this way? I see no difference between Islam and the Nazi's. Those who disagree with the 'prophet' are targeted for death. For those that do not know...try reading the Koran, only then will you understand why Islamists think the way they do......
37. To People Don't Know
Wally ,   Germany   (02.02.06)
If Mo was so dang benevolent, why did he take a 6 year old girl as his wife? I guess it was okay to wait to have sex with her after she turned 9! My, my, he really is a nice guy! NOT!!!
38. Raheel Ali ,Edinburgh ; You are FULL of contradictions
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (02.02.06)
Are you trying to talk through a smoke screen ....... by in fact making a very obvious Threat Your Religion has to stop committing murder and mayhem. Your religion has to clean it's ranks of their murderous ranks. If you don't clean those ranks, society that believes in FREEDOM will do it for you. Why don't you move to a country - Muslim State - that agrees with censure and your standards Why do you want to live in our society but change our society to fit your Islamic standards. You don't understand ........ Islam is not close to Christiniaty . Judaism is close to Christianity, since it is the root
39. muslim , egypt: Sadly we know enough of Islam
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (02.02.06)
Esp. from your own country and Saudi Arabia .... remember 9/11 you participated happily in that monstrous attack Not every Muslim is a terrorist .. but sadly enough every terror attack world wide has been performed by Islam I think we have seen and know enough ....... it's a daily rountine of your fanatics clean your ranks .... then come and talk
40. RESPECT ALL
R.L.N.RAO ,   INDIA   (02.02.06)
Nw what about the Baniyan Buddha's in Afghanisthan. what respect muslims have shown for others
41. #30 and 31
Linda   (02.02.06)
I have the Quran, and the bible and the torah. You know, you are so right about it. The Quran is not more hateful or less peaceful than the other holy books, but its how his followers act on it, and at this point in time a lot of Muslims are not living like peaceful and loving people and so you must understand that until Muslims do not speak up and show the rest of the world that this is not real Islam it will go on. Ayman, it's nice to hear the way you speak about all people and I speak with all too. I have Arab friends and also in other religions. We can all sit down and be friends and respect each other. I do not think It was good and nice what happened in Denmark, but the reaction of Muslims as victims who never hate and never make hateful cartoons about other religions made the rest of the world angry about this. I see Arab newspapers and read what they say. I feel this time the Arab world should look for ones in the mirror and see what they have become. It's a same, because I know the Arab culture is not like most think, but it's radicals using Islam and frustrated people to follow the hate that brought us to where we are today between Christians, Muslims and the Jews
42. Are you serious??????
pavan ,   USA   (02.02.06)
Jews don't send young men with bombs on their backs into public places to BLOW THEMSELVES UP, that's why the two are treated differently. Get a grip......
43. David of Cal gets it right....
BullMan ,   Chicago, USA   (02.02.06)
Cheers to David, he get it right.....Once again the muslim community is showing it's true religious beliefs. Islam is a violent religion and there are centuuries of history to prove it. I have participated in my religion for 5 decades and I have yet to hear anyone associated with my religion (and many others as well) that strapped a bomb on their back with the sole purpose of blowing up and killing innocent people. Yeah...some peaceful religion Islam is......Islam respects ONLY Islam and no others.
44. Drawings of Mohammed
Mat ,   London   (02.02.06)
I am sick to the teeth of bowing to Muslim pressure around the world. Europe is by and large Christian, and we should stick together, against an ever growing fanatical religion. I have more in common with Danes, Germans, Spanish, Americans etc than with any Middle East country. The Irony is (if they knew what that was) that we give them freedom of speech in our countries, yet they say they hate us.(infidels) But in their own country they don't have the same freedom. We also pay huge sums in Aid too them. The old saying "don't bite the hand that feeds you" may just apply here!
45. Response to Onur (Turkey)
BullMan ,   Chicago, USA   (02.02.06)
Just because the Quran contains the written word does not mean it is followed. This is the case with all religious writings. The issue at hand here is BELIEFS and VALUES. Islam is, and always has been, a violent religion....What are YOU doing to combat the muslim violence in the world? Muslims refer to Islam as a peaceful religion, when are muslims going to get off their collective butts and prove it?
46. cartoons
john doe ,   europe   (02.02.06)
If we did not already know it: people and or religions reacting in such violent way are at least dangerous or fouls who besides that seems to have nothing else better to do ...Its abouth a CARTOON remember , start doing useful constructive things with your lives... is't Allah , God ,Jaweh or whatever we call Him, a Creator a builder a constructor? That 's what he ask s of me to in the first place.
47. Response to Marwan, Egypt
BullMan ,   Chicago, USA   (02.02.06)
Unfairness? In the Middle East? There has been unfairness in the ME for the past 3000 years......Where are you taking your point? Are you saying the current environment in the ME warrants the actions of extremists? What leads an individual to strap a bomb to themselves and walk into a public place with the sole purpose of BLOWING THEMSELVES UP? Is it unfairness, because I would have never thought of that?!?
48. cartoons
tahir ,   dubai   (02.02.06)
roni my dear if you dont know anything then do not talk about it ok
49. Response to Javier in NJ
BullMan ,   Chicago, USA   (02.02.06)
What would you know....your from NJ. The cartoons are NOT racists. Get your facts straight before you insert your foot into your mouth. Muslim(s) is a religion or religious following, not a race of people. And when a muslim follower straps a bomb on his back and kills innocent people you will use the cartoon(s) to justify it right? What a moron......
50. #1 - Javier
Christopher ,   Boston, MASS USA   (02.02.06)
People in glass houses should not cast stones. The Arab media is filled daily with cartoons demonizing Jews and "their God." Yet you don't see Jews rioting throughout the world. All this proves is that the rioters are sub-human jackylls
51. #15 - inherent hypocrisy
Christopher ,   Boston, MASS USA   (02.02.06)
You call for all religions to be respected, but your own comments denigrates other religions. You claim Christianity i s"close enough" to Islam but not quite as good, and you leave out Judaism all together. You call for others to abid, but you refuse to do so. Typical!
52. #17 Islam is peace?
Christopher ,   Boston, MASS USA   (02.02.06)
Bottom line: Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims
53. Should we riot over these cartoons from the Muslim world?
Shuki   (02.02.06)
http://www.tomgrossmedia.com/ArabCartoons.htm Let's dump out our hummus (unless it's Israeli, of course) and set our oil rigs on fire! Or not... Is Islam inherently violent? I don't think so. But when it is used to radicalize large swaths of people, we have a major problem. Need proof of the above? Just look at the violent manner in which these people are protesting that they are peaceful. If it wasn't so dangerous, it would be funny...
54. It's Funny the Claim of Freedom of Speech
T Mek ,   Vienna,va USA   (02.02.06)
Why the Freedom of speach defender are soo hypocryt, that they invoke it just whenever Person attack Islam and Muslims. and when two writer claimed there was no Holocaust they were prosecuted by the EU.
55. it's easy to sit in your confort appartement in Chicago
t mek ,   Vienna, VA   (02.02.06)
and judge the unfairness of somebody blowing up himself, what do you you know about their daily life. How long it takes you to get to work(30 miles drive) maybe 40 minutes max(and we still not happy that) Their commute for 10 miles is 3 hours, not beacause of the trafic because of all the check points. take look at their shattered live growing under occupation there is no saturday soccer no chucky cheese, or Mcdonald Happy meal, Seeing their parrents beatten by Israeli soldier at Check point. There is noe no hope in grwoing up, What would you do ?
56. No Different between Islam and Nazis?
Ryan ,   Canada   (02.02.06)
Come on folks... comments like that just make all of us in the west look stupid. I for one don't belive that, and happen to have many muslim friends, and Jewish friends, and jewish friends who are friends with Muslims. THe problem is only the extremist. Let's not lump all Muslims into one bucket, it's not fair to them, and I for one wouldnt not want to be part of such a gross over-generalization. On that, I don't understand this attitude that feels very common, using the Canadian Khadr family, who after raising kids in a country with our freedoms, decides to go fight against the way of life they made use of. I'm not claiming that as a country we are perfect, but at least we try.
57. MUSLIM HATE AND RAGE AGAINST ISRAEL'S G-D
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (02.02.06)
Muslim mobs destroyed Gaza Jews' synagogues where G-D was honored and exalted. Hamas flags flew from synagogue roofs as synagogues burned. Joseph is the beloved Bible hero of Jews and Christians. Muslims murdered IDF soldiers at Joseph's Tomb. Muslim mobs burned Jewish prayer books that gave praise and glory to the One great G-D, and destroyed the Tomb. In the Islamic invasion and filthy desecration of Jesus Christ' birthplace, Church of Nativity, BIBLES WERE TORN UP FOR TOILET PAPER. It was an act against G-D. Inscribed in those Bibles are the laws G-D gave to Moses. Some of the laws - Exodus 20: "You shall have no other gods before Me" "You shall not make for yourself an idol" "You shall not murder" "You shall not commit adultery" "You shall not steal" "You shall not bear false witness" "You shall not covet" Exodus 21:16 "He who kidnaps a man, whether he sells him or he is found in his possession, shall surely be put to death" JERUSALEM is MENTIONED OVER 800 TIMES in the BIBLE, not once in the Koran. G-D designated the Temple Mount to the Jews for His worship and prayer only. Muslims on the Temple Mount repeatedly engage in massive rock throwing at Jews, turning the HOLIEST place on earth into a common place of violence! Muslims have perpetrated massive desecration and destruction at Judaism's HOLIEST site, the Temple Mount. The OFFENSE to G-D is ENORMOUS! The Temple Mount must be returned to its Jewish owners immediately!
58. Unfairness in the Middle East
Jacob ,   Denmark   (02.02.06)
You're excuse for terror is "Unfairness in the Middle East" ? I must tell you there´s plenty of unfairness and poverty elsewhere in the world - say Africa, south America, Asia. But only muslims in the middle east are so clueless and envious they'll suicide bomb innocent people and demand total surrender to their beliefs. If Islam is peaceful THEN START ACTING ACCORDINGLY !
59. PA/ISLAMISTS MAKE WAR ON ISRAEL'S G-D CREATOR OFTHE UNIVERSE
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (02.02.06)
On March 27, 2002, at the Park Hotel in Netanya, terrorists targeted for murder Jews honoring and thanking G-D for His great mercy: Exodus 12:14 “you shall celebrate it as a feast to the L-RD” Exodus 12:42 “It is a night to be observed for the L-RD for having brought them out from the land of Egypt; this night is for the L-RD, to be observed by all the sons of Israel throughout their generations.” The Islamic homicide bomber murdered 30 Israelis as the Jews obeyed G-D, taking part in the Passover meal. 140 Jewish innocents were injured. The bomb was filled with nails and other metal pieces to maximize the suffering of survivors. On August 19, 2003, terrorists targeted for murder Jews who worship G-D - Giver of all life. The homicide bomber blew himself up on the bus as Jews returned from prayer at the Western wall-the Temple Mount, the holiest place on earth, is Judaism's holiest site. Jerusalem is mentioned over 800 times in the Bible, not once in the Koran. The gruesome attack-the bomb packed with metal pieces, killed 22 Jews and injured 134, many seriously. If Jesus Christ lived today, from the time Jesus was in his mother's womb, he would be targeted for murder by the Islamofascists for being a Jew living in his homeland of Israel. The Palestinian Authority hailed as heroes the terrorists who brutally murdered defenseless 8 months pregnant Jewish Gaza mother, Tali Hatuel, and four little daughters in Gush Katif in May 2004. In defiance of Israel's G-D, and massively breaking G-D's law given to Moses: "YOU SHALL NOT MURDER", the Palestinian Authority teach that murdering Jews is a religious obligation through their mosques, media and public education system. Islamic human bomb murderers of innocent Jews are revered and considered heroes. Broadcast from Gaza mosque, Oct 13 2000, Dr. Ahmad Abu Halabiya, on Palestinian Authority TV (transcribed by Memri): "Have no mercy on the Jews, no matter where they are, in any country. Fight them, wherever you are. Wherever you meet them, kill them. Wherever you are, kill those Jews and those Americans who are like them..."
60. #17 This is what you call PEACE???
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (02.02.06)
The raison d'etre of the genocidal PA society is the mass murder of Jewish innocents. Palestinian Authority society are taught murdering Jews is the highest goal in life and attains paradise: http://www.pmw.org.il/AFD.html
