Should be be able to depict him? Shouldn't we?

Depicting the prophet is offending our culture

Well, blowing up the world trade centre is kinda offensive to our culture too you know...

No that is the stupidest thing anyone could do at the moment with this war on wait until these people are smarter and more mature and can take it with good grace and humour I myself have laughed at some stupid blasphmous pictures of Jesus because after time people get smarter and more tolerant but these people arn't yet.

I'm not going to say anything about him, I might get killed.

It is hard as freedom of speech and racism seriousley colide
==============================
so do helping out third world countrys and stopping pollution (more ppl everyday in china get cars)
==============================
Also did u know muslims, christians, jews all have THE SAME GOD
==============================
its just what they think of jesus and the other ppl involved (eg mmuhammed, mary) thats different, and the way they celebrate god

Muslims, Jews and Christians have similar gods, but not the same.


You bring up a very good point here pandas.

It wasn't every muslim blowing up the trade center. it was the terrorists. Why are all those innocent people held guilty. There is bad in every race. But that doesn't make the whole race bad.

1. Muslims arn't a race.
2. no, its defninetly muslim. The terrorists, the people who have bombs on their back etc. are the Wuhabbi sect of Islam(yes, they have sects too). They bellieve in strict interpretation of the Koran. the "jihad" or holy war is being twisted from the koran by the wuhabbi leaders.
3.Since the United States is a major ally of Israel, and the Muslims consider the jews the be the so-called enemy. we are stuck in the middle of the holy-war.

yes, but its not every westerner depicting prophet muhammad and bombing iraq etc

Also did u know muslims, christians, jews all have THE SAME GOD

No we don't we sorta do but Muslims and Jews both believe that the messaih is yet to come, christians believe that the messaih is Jesus Christ and muslims worship their prophets (Muhammad) they are very VERY different

Still, Allah and God share some very VERY similar qualities. I say stop the holy war and all be happy that we all worship vaguely the same thing, except some minor differences. But doesn't everyone view their religion differently?
==============================
I mean, "God said this and did this!" "No! He did this then said that!"- is it really worth causing another world war? At least we've established a god/ single entity which created everything. If anything people should be fighting Hindus

gods? Judaism, Islam, and Christianity are all monotheistic, and all can trace their religions back to one man.

You misunderstood, read it again.

yes, but its not every westerner depicting prophet muhammad and bombing iraq etc
True. I guess it's just partly how you're brought up.

He should be depicted, the people who are depicting him have their right to entertain others. Also if you're a Muslim who does feel offended by it then you can go ahead and sue the company rather than go get angry and do something violent.

But thats not the Muslim way- you turn to western world tv and see people debating, discussing, trying to make agreements. Go to a third world Muslim TV station and you'll see people protesting, bombing, throwing rocks at people. Its a complete culture clash

you really expect them to be calm and take it with gentle grace and a good sense of humour, In Iran, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon etc. they are poor and not very intelligent countries they take everything to heart.

I dont understand Muslims...
No ducks in an empty bath to look for here, I just dont know anything about that faith,
But......
What is the problem with showing a picture of this Prophet anyway?...
Why do some object?

My argument

The world trade center was not part of your culture.

OP is silly. blowing up a building and drawing a picture is different.

flip it on it's head. if a muslim guy drew a picture of a gay jesus does that the rational thing to do is to blow up a mosque or something?

No...suicide bomb a mosque, maybe, but not just blow it up.

.

.you have a point. But there wasnt a lot of "world trading" going on there.

very true. Its just a name- But I'm grouping countries by the Christian world and the Muslim world, regardless of culture. Most western world nations are part of the Christian world

thats what i was implying...

exactly! I think the Muslim world needs to grow up

thats what i was implying...
Yeah, I know. :P

Muhammad, Ftw.

With 56 wins and 37 KOs, this man, is a wrecking machine xD


Fly like a butterfly, sting like a bee. Hands can't hit what they can't see. Instead of covering up like regular boxers (in Muhammad's early career) Muhammad would dance out of the way of bombs and create jabs and combos to rip apart his opponents.

Titled the Greatest for a reason, All hail Muhammad Ali. :(

Oh really? Sorry. I just don't know many people off the top off my head that are named Muhammad. I'm gonna keep it up anyway cause I don't have a lot of posts anyway haha

Yeah...I don't know how you got that confused, last time I checked Muhammad Ali wasn't exactly considered a 'prophet'.
