European Press shows solidarity with threatened Danish cartoonist

Again I ask you, why?

Here is a quote from a dear friend who said (well, almost said) (I substituted 'political leaders' with 'religious leaders')

"[Religious leaders] are no more worthy of respect than anyone else. Probably less. If you aren't going to ridicule, criticise and satirise [religious leaders], especially powerful ones, who are you going to ridicule, criticise and satirise?"

If you are so secure and confident that your religion is the one and only, then why should you feel offended when others make fun or light of it?

If you say a girl that your face is like my ass, most probably she will offended. This does not mean that She dont believe she is beatiful.

Sorry a little rude, but just couldnt find better example.

First, a lot of fellows here are getting the wrong message. Many people attempted to draw the prophet even by Muslims (check the Safavid drawings for instance of the prophet's battle), but it is not the fact that he has been drawn that upset any Muslim. Neither any criticizing article would get Muslims angry (and there are millions of them worldwide, just google). It is rather the fact that the drawing is an insulting drawing. When the prophet has a turbant that is all bombs and explosive devices, i dont' see where is it that they tried to match reality? or an innocent representation of him?

I just read an interview by BBC (the Arabic service) with the cheif editor of the Danish newspaper and he admitted his knowledge of the prophet is limited and I know he is the founder of the Islamic faith. They right away directed the question: how do you allow such an insulting caricature to be published about the someone who have no knoweldge about?

I also don't see why is it offending to boycott Danish products. No public voices in Saudi Arabia were risen to bomb the newspaper, or to kill the Danish foriegn workers. All what they called for is a simple message.

 If their laws there allows for insulting my prophet by the name of freedom of expression, then my freedom allows me to boycott your product here and it is the right of every consumer.

Im sure the local companies like Al Marai are so happy with the boycott

Buy Marai  , anyhow it is cheaper too

By the way, the boycott in the Gulf region is so severe that you cannot find anymore any Danish food products on the shelves. I find it funny too that Newspaper are filled with advertisement of Danish companies that are hit hard by the boycott, an attempt to break down the boycott, and on the opposite side of the page, an advertisement of a supermarket that it's cleared out of any Danish products, come shop please here 

Youve just said what i have said in the previos post "It is the message being sent". And I truthfully dont agree with the message being sent either but the fact still remains that when Allah(God) himself is depicted in such a heinous way then no big deal but when Muhammed is...........

This sort of argument is intelectually dishonest. The only admissable boycott would be against the journals that print the cartoons. Instead, Muslims are boycotting an entire nation attempting to force it in submission.

Tried what? That a nation apologised!?

Infact Their first aim was to punish newspaper, but danish priminester said, we have freedom of speach so you should accustomed this.

Infact you can easily see, that bomber cartoon is anti-islam.

So now Muslims are using their freedom of choose, they should accustomed this. PM of danish should handle situation better.

Actually, let me suggest another boycott for Muslims to do: how about Palestinians boycotting Western and Danish monetary contributions to their budget?

This wont happen, why should do? It wont benefit this, I dont think any danish will be sorry for this.

Am  speaking with walls or what? I already said that a nation can not apologise for the actions of a newspaper. There is freedom of press in the West and interference of a government is not acceptable. You're probably thinking about Saudi Arabia...

You hypocrite. If you want to boycott Danmark, boycott everything, not just cheese.
