Did you notice no Christians rioted over this "Jesus " cartoon.?

You have made some nice arguments up there, but let me add something to it... I am an Indian and a Hindu guy and in our community, we are tought from the begiineng that Muslims are our enemies. I beleived it all my life, till i moved to a new city. I didnt had any frnds so i had to make some new ones... and i did. i made lots of new frnds and to my surprise, among them, many were muslims. I came to know that not allof them are alike. My frnds dont wrap a bomb around their chest or talk about getting a bunch of virgins... they act, talk and live like normal people... Yes, they do offer namaaz (muslim form of worship) 5 times a week, but that does'nt makes them terrorists... does it??? What am trying to ay that i too hated every muslim, till i met some real ones who actually follow the teachings of islam, which also include living peacefully and morally upright life. So i think it would be wrong to label every muslim just because some ignorant ones have done what they should not had...

Reading your comments I feel you have taken the stance that most people feel who listen to the press and the right-wing American government before finding out the true facts. We have been made to fear Muslims and believe we are under attack from them, don't believe all you read!! There is a minority that will die for their religion and many of them are brainwashed into beleiving this is the way forward. Although Christians may not do this, they go about things in a more subtle way. Look at Gods Army in America. Groups of young children/adults are home schooled, and then educated in their own university next to the White House. They too are brainwashed into believing that their God is the truth and their mission is to take up the promminent roles within the White House. To me that is just as bad. To fear the unknown is the best propaganda. My advise to you is to go and speak to the Muslim community and you will find that they are not fools or terrorists. I used to live with the threat of bombs from the IRA for many years but I never thought all Irish people were terrorists. If you ever get the chance, watch a film called 'Loose Change' you can buy it on ebay. Then decide who the real terrorists are.

Oh give me a break. We are here to form a harmony communitee and therefore please do not bring up this kinda sensitive issue here. It seems that you are the one that promoting hates. Do you know how to live in peaceful and harmonious environment? Aaaa.....

hey in islam its not allowed to portray God or any of his Prophets thats y......u christians make cartoons of em , make fun of em sometimes very offensive sorta esp in southpark or at mtv ive seen some cartoons that were what ever u wanna do or believe just keep it to urself u dont c any muslim drawing Jesus or any other prophet because v respect them n the feelings n values of other religions then y has every1 else got to make fun of ours.....u guys ask for it n when muslims respond in anger u call em extrimists

common.... nvr judge a book by its cover... the same is wid muslims. due to the freakin terrorists all of the muslims are disgraced which shudnt be done and if u hav anymore questions . do ask me

Whoever knows the meaning of the word "Musalman" will never commit such things.This is the problem of our present society which is not teaching the good way of religion & instead the society is utilising the word religion to make its way for its survival , be it muslim , christian or hindu or any society. om namah shivaya.

well both christian and muslim have individual problem with wrong vision, really hate to see that.

I feel sorry for anyone who was brought up with a religious though that any god would reward such cowardly actions of mass killing. Really wouldn't you think that god would have run out of virgins by now if that was true. I am not really all that religious but what I do believe is that there is a god and he rewards those that lead a respectful life and respects the lives of others. The said part about it is that many are raised with this belief and believe it blindly and it's so said. They really think they are doing god's work. I pray for them too.

Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life. There is no other name given whereby someone can be saved. Someday, at the name of Jesus, every knee shall bow - in heaven and earth. That's what God says and I won't argue with Him.

God does not compel people to believe and obey Him. He commanded His followers to be in peace with all men and not to fight. God gives the freedom of choice, obey or not obey, do what you want or not. He does not interfer. But He has given His Word - those who obey Him shall be with Him in heaven on the last day. Those who disobey shall be thrown in hell together with the devil to suffer everlasting punishment. God said vengeance is for Me so let those who want to blaspheme Him do so. Their punishment is waiting for them.

Ya, seriously. If extremest Muslims were not so insecure about their religion they would be able to handle cartoons. It's ridiculous that they would want people to die over cartoons or words spoken by the Pope. Even people who don't believe in God at all don't act so childish.

That is because Jesus taught us to turn to the other cheek and to love your enemies. He taught us that if your enemy is hungry we should feed them and if they are thirsty, we should give them water to drink. We are taught that our struggles as christians are not with people. But with those principalities of darkness in the heavenly places which influences mankind. For the world is swayed by the devil.

No one fight for God, All do count the reason GOD but fight for themselves. Yes christianity doesn't promote martyr-ship.

I think your topic speaks to 2 points. coercian is alot easier than thoughtful discussion. Couple that with a miserable group of people who are not happy with their life, and you have a group terrorists who will act violent rather than talk. It's sad that a person's sole purpose and greatest contribution to the world is the destruction of innocent people. Or maybe I am wrong, maybe happily married family men with a bright future ahead of them are the ones willing to blow themselves up because of a cartoon.

This is the right way to set an example for the Muslims who riot over anything, even without thinking of wat it is. there shud be some tolerance in every religion. that's wat the prophets always taught.

great discussion ah.. well, you're definitely right. It depends upon the people regardless of what is the religion it has. Those you say extremist are those people who are believing their religion alone, not realizing the respect and individual difference of others. although no one can tell what's really the best religion, what's important is to share and to live what is the same good, and not of arguing and debating on its difference. Cause as long as there has many beliefs, disagreement will never stop.

it is because christianity is much more tollerent than islam. Islam is much more insecure and the extremists are able to take advantage of this

Its all a struggle for world domination .. someone asked me how do we have world peace .. I said to start with we must wipe out churches and take it indoors .. I think its a personal thing and should be done indoors [ have a wall in your home where you place things on a wall and thats where you pray ].. If you want to pray to a duck thats fine ,if you want to pray to god thats fine .. we need to love each other ..

Muslims feel they are so different and so insecure. What they have to start to do is to live a holy life and start ignoring other people ideas.

it's common
