61. disgraceful cartoon? Adeel
Sandra ,   Miami USA   (02.08.06)
Disgraceful is the lack of outrage from Muslims against the entering of Mosques by Muslim killers, the killing of Muslim women and children in street bombings by suicide/homicide Islamofacists bombers and the suicide/homicide bombings of Muslim men standing in line waiting for jobs as policemen? What about the beheading of female journalists and hostage taking of workers who come to Iraq to help rebuild. YOU and YOUR religion need to judge YOUR own religion FIRST for INJUSTICE before YOU JUDGE AND CALL OTHERS CRIMINALS, ADEEL from Derby,England...
62. Democracy
Mick ,   South Pacific   (02.08.06)
Democracy & Western Society has ben based on freedom of expression for a couple of centuries now. Some of the Islamic faith live amongst it. The rest now seem to want to impose their thoughts, beliefs and rules (largely not taken directly from the Qran) on countries they don't even live in. We should impose some back - like all women are free to run around without having to cover faces, arms and legs and can go get an education to become a lawyer, doctor or whatever... Is that going to work? Nup.
63. subject on the cartoon!
faith jackson ,   stanchfield,minn.   (02.08.06)
i am so tired of the muslims! they threaten us and tell everyone what they can say or do! then drag our dead soldiers threw the streets! torch,distroy and try to take over the world! dont do or act like they want and everyone pays for it! its time for the muslims to stay out of everyones life! they put down us christians but want us to accept them! im not accepting any muslims in my lifetime! i will never wear a turbin! the radicals are trying to control everyone! it has to be stopped.
64. Abu-Steiner; You are the nutcase Arab who claims to be Jewis
Daisy ,   USA   (02.08.06)
You belong in a mental hospital with the rest of the Arabs.
65. Jon; Too much crack?
Daisy ,   USA   (02.08.06)
Go back to school and get off the pipe and then maybe you'll make sense.
66. No apologies!
Osockmi Bin Latte ,   Goober, Afghanistan   (02.08.06)
It's always the dog on a short leash that barks and snaps at passers-by. Those raised without freedom condemn it most and praise the chains for their strength. Muslims should be given no acknowledgement, priviledge of feeling or apologies until they respect the right of non-muslims to think, feel and speak as "non-muslims." To burn foreign embassies when insulted by foreign culture, only insures zero relationship with the outside (non-muslim) world. As for the Iranian cartoon "vendetta," their "President" exhibits insanity regularly enough the world can see the burgeoning facist he is. Right there with North Korea's Kim Jong-il in the "funny pages," himself. Hmmmm. Maybe all wars should be fought with cartoons?
67. Asinine
ConservaTibbs.com ,   Indiana, USA   (02.09.06)
An "international law forbidding religions from being humiliated"? Please. American political correctness seems tame compared to this, and that is really saying something. Qaradawi needs to look at the Holocaust-deniers in his own back yard.
68. teach us please

71. not hate jews
Kai ,   Bogor, Indonesia   (02.10.06)
The iranian ask why dont they (the western) put the jews in europe instead in palestine. Dont turn back the fact. As a muslim i dont hate jews. we are all humand and should not hate each other.
72. Islam is the Religion of Peace
khalid yousofzai ,   Afghanistan Laghaman   (02.11.06)
Who the hell is christopher ,Boston Mass..... That says is lam is dishonor, hate, mass, muder and bla bla bla... what the hell you thinking about such a great Religion man.. it is only the life that you could spend in islam, Islam is Honor, love,peace, joy and many many more ..basicaly it is not your falt that you don't know about islam .if once you entered this Religion you well find peacefully life .. bass and bass
73. To#72 Ha, Ha, Ha....
Habib Yousef ,   USA   (02.14.06)
Do not try to convert here. We have learned enough about your religion in the past 4 years to know that "peace" and " love" do not work with Islam, but "Kill" and " Hate" is very common. I had the "pleasure" of sitting in on one of the friday prayers in Gaza, and even in UAE and could not believe my ears of how much hate is passed along during those prayers to small kids!!! I was ashamed and embarrased. I'm now a christian and truly believe that I am a better of now then ever, I've found the true PEACE and LOVE. No more hate and death. Salam ....
74. you r rvery right
Mohammed ,   Karachi,Pakistan   (02.14.06)
you r right that the radicals are trying to control everyone. open your eyes to see actual people who wants to control this world.you r right they must be stopped. but who will stop them u cant stop them untill you belong to them.accept Islam which tells us that all power & control is of Allah All mighty.
75. I'll believe it when I see it...
Thurston ,   US   (02.14.06)
It's funny that Islam is said to be of "love" and "peace" but yet the buildings still burn and the people still die. Tell me, do you watch your own news in your country??? If you want to protect what people think of Islam then the Islam community needs to not be so quick to kill and burn...especially over a cartoon! READ THE POSTERS!! Just like someone else pointed out; almost all of them have something about killing on them? Also, it really bothers me that everyone has to cover their face when they do this crap...when's the last time you saw an american cover there face when they held a protest; oh wait, because we don't bring the guns and the torches and the unlawful acts. I'm sure all of this is pointed out in your book as a recipe for "love" and "peace". We don't bomb other countries because of the beliefs, we bomb other countries because of the threat...and I don't see anyone attaching the name of God/Christ to the military actions of the US, but yet the Islam extremists kill and burn for their God? The sad thing is that there are probably REAL Islams out there that should be fighting to protect THEIR religion from these people of hatred that CALL themselves part of Islam. Now that would be something worth fighting for IF that true part of Islam does exsist.
76. Yes you r right
Mohammed ,   Karachi, Pakistan   (02.14.06)
you r right we 1.3 billion muslims cant make fun of our prophets(peace be upon him) we muslims even cant make fun of Hazrat Essa(Jesus(peace be upon him)) also. we believe in all of them sended by Allah to guide mankind. freedom of speech did not means disrespect of Allah's Messangers.
77. A Good News!!!!!
Muslim ,   Islamic World   (02.14.06)
An Irani News Paper "Hamshari" has invited cartoonists to send their cartoons to the news paper. The title of the contest is "The Boundaries of Western Freedom of Speech," and the Hamshahri newspaper hopes that those European papers that printed cartoons insulting the Prophet Mohammed will also publish the winning cartoons about the Holocaust. Already a Danish and a French paper have expressed interest in doing this.
78. #72 Are you serious???
DR ,   Florida, USA   (02.14.06)
Are you on drugs? Do you not see what is going on all over the world.?Islam is by far the most violent, intolerant religion in the world. Of course not all Muslims behave like this, but they also do not condemn those who do. It is almost as if violence and hatred are accepted in your religion. How many people have killed in the name of Allah??? You are in denial of reality my friend and the whole world is waking up to the ugly face of your "peaceful" religion.
79. killed in the name of...
Sarah ,   Seattle, WA   (02.15.06)
Countless people have not only been killed in the name of allah, but also in the name of god. People have been killed for almost every religion that's ever existed. It's just recently that it's been islam. read your history books.
80. Hey Raz
yiddishe.kop ,   chu"l   (02.15.06)
You've got way too much time on your hands and, no, you don't have all the answers. And you and your nonsensical analogy show me that you completely missed my point, which was that Ahmadinejad is a liar and a hypocrite who edits history to his advantage, someone who says denies the obvious in one breath and says that Hitler shoud have finished the job in the next. Understand?
81. to # 8
Ginette Golden ,   CANADA   (02.15.06)
Daisy, USA: You are an idiot and no better than extremist Muslim!
82. I am with you # 21
Ginette Golden ,   CANADA   (02.15.06)
Maybe that Steiner guy has a complex of being Jewish instead of feeling proud like most of us? But to all of you remember hatred BREEDS hatred. As my dear mother used to say: "ignore the ignorant"
83. Response to # 36
Ginette Golden ,   CANADA   (02.15.06)
We are wayyyyyyyyy to smart for that!
84. Steiner, You're Some Piece Of Work
Ginette Golden ,   CANADA   (02.15.06)
You write: Iran's facilities are deeply buried. Israel's Dimona reactor is not. Iran can easily hit Dimona. Iran _WILL_ hit Dimona if its own facilities are attacked. Do you still think Israel will "TAKE OUT IRAN'S NUCLEAR FACILITIES"? Israel might not , but AMERICA WILL! I think a key ingredient is missing in your life...like a good companion that cares about you maybe?
85. To # 25
Ginette Golden ,   CANADA   (02.15.06)
You write: All the Holocost stuff are a punch of nonsense these thieves only seek sympathy and decieve more of illeterate folks.... Allow me to fix your English: "it's a bunch of nonsense" "deceive" & "illiterate" And who exactly do you call illiterate? Good night "Cuz"
86. To # 78
Ginette Golden ,   CANADA   (02.15.06)
I am with you: DR , Florida, USA
87. # 72 You Are So Funny When You Say
Ginette Golden ,   CANADA   (02.15.06)
"Islam is Honor, love,peace, joy and many many more ..basicaly it is not your falt that you don't know about islam .if once you entered this Religion you well find peacefully life .. bass and bass khalid" Where exactly do you find honor, love, peace & joy in blowing yourself up to pieces and taking innocent men, women & children along the way...and what is "bass & bass" anyways?
88. TO # 73
Ginette Golden ,   CANADA   (02.15.06)
My hat's off to you HABIBI!
89. Weak...
Thurston ,   US   (02.15.06)
That was kind of a weak explaination there Sarah...What's the point to it also? If you are killing for God then it's alright or not alright? People have been kill for non-religious purposes also... All killing is bad whether for God or for another reason, I believe. I think the fire to this conversation is that the religion of Islam seems to be a scape-goat for terroists, suicide-bombers, etc. Personally I've got my views of Islam from what I see/hear but if I did in fact have a part of Islam and it WAS a religion of "love" and "peace" then I wouldn't attack the people that are condemning that part of Islam, I would condemn those people that slander my religion by killing and burning in the NAME of my religion...if that was indeed the case. Please explain what history you have read...as other countries might not know the same history you know.
90. Iranis are right, in my opinion
Francisco Vargas ,   San Jose, CR   (02.19.06)
I want this to be a message to the occidental advanced countries (USA, EU, Canada) from an inhabitant of an underdeveloped occidental country (Costa Rica). The proposition of the Iranian president about Europe giving some part of it to the Jewish has a lot of sense to us, and I am sure, for you too. The problem IS that obviously they NEVER are going to do it, because no one European wants to loose their properties, lands, etc. That is, in a world with complete justice, that would be the way to go: they did it, they pay it. BUT this is not a fair world: who has the power, uses its power. Muslims are no different: they never would give their properties, lands, etc. for free or for a sentiment of justice, BUT they were forced to do that, and the Israeli country was created from the Palestinian lands. It was the brute force method, and they had no chance. We can find similar examples of this from USA in Latin America (invasions, imposed presidents, etc.). These are not fair things. That is the reason we, the non USA or EU citizens, some times feel like being under a boot. We all know that the Israeli invasion to stole the Palestinian lands and the creation of their country was an act of barbarism in the mid of the XX century. No one with his brain working can say the opposite. BUT, BUT, BUT... what can ONE do, if you are not armed enough to repel an invasion? Or are not rich and influent enough to negotiate a fair CAFTA? P.S. CAFTA is the "free" trade agreement every one knows is unfair for Central Americans but the best we can do under the circumstances of little countries against the BIG country. Greetings to all from one of the first and few unarmed countries of the word. Try to follow our example and abolish your armies. You will have a better country.
