Does it mean the French are afraid or why would they close their embassies?It only display a sign of guilt.Is the cartoonist stronger than the state for them to close down foreign missions becos an individual's action?Me thinks the best France cld do is to prevail on the cartoonist to ditch such publication.We can have a better world if we respect eachothers belief

U non-muslims, your hobbies is to incite violence and tarnish d image of the chosen religion of GOD (Islam). De are terrorists who wants to ridicule Islam. They love war and use dat to gain power and wealth (America, Israel and d west)

De think we are hypocrites like dem. De make films abusing dere own god de call Jesus (Prophet Isa) and they believe we muslims would tolerate dat towards Prophet Muhammad (SAW). NO but nevertheless dat doesnt mean retaliating d innocent is justifiable.

Can u allow someone to intentionally abuse, slander and degrade your parents image in a continuous manner without reacting against such insidious act.
Can U, talkless of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW), the Mercy upon Mankind?

We muslims are peaceful people but we cant just allow any fellow joyfully abusing our sacred beliefs. Aw can dat happen and we wont voice out our minds.

We ar not hypocrites and low-selfesteemed like non-muslims who have no purpose and stance in dis life. because u abuse and make jest of your god so u think oda sensible people who display assertiveness will allow that.

We ar not copy cat. U incite violence and love disunity. If we eventually defend ourselves and our position, u all wil b labelling us terrorist. Aw hypocritical is dat, dat is wot cry babies do; no mind of their own, always following d crowd.

De think we wil revenge by posting spiteful pictures of Jesus (Prophet Isa), one of the prophets of ALLAH (GOD). Aw moronic de ar to think we wil do dat by our standards. We ar kind-hearted people and love all the prophets of ALLAH (Adam, Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Lot, Jesus, Isaac, Muhammad, Jacob, John, Job, Hud, Moses, David, Solomon to mention just a few). De are muslims as de all submitted to the oneness of ALLAH.

We believe in the books (d Zabura of David, the Torah of Moses, Bible and Qur'an). The previous books before the Qur'an has been adulterated and changed by man. So God sent the Holy Qur'an to Mankind through Prophet Muhammad (SAW). So the Qur'an is d only book to be followed. The previous books has been discarded.

Muhammad is d last Prophet of God. D revelation of his coming is in the bible but most of your pastors wont tell u for selfish reasons. Muhammad is not God, he is d Messenger of God just like other prophets. God revealed the last holy book (the Qur'an) through him to mankind to guide them towards the right path. Muhammad is not the founder of Islam. Islam is d religion from ALLAH dat wil b accepted in d Day of Judgement and as since being in existence.

The West are intimidated of the growing number of muslims in the globe and they are now trying to spoil our image through media for their selfish reasons. What a waste of time and resources. Is dat aw to preach ur religion by abusing oda people religion. Dat shows aw evil and babaric u guys are. However, more and more people ar converting to Islam daily in d West. It is worthy to note dat the number of muslims in China is more dan those in Nigeria.

Would the west tolerate people making anti-jewish remarks all in the same of freedom of speech?

First of all stop generalizing. You seem to think that everyone in the west had a meeting and decided to draw Mohammed cartoons. The fact is that most westerners don't care about Islam or Muslims except when they start rioting. The people who draw the cartoons and make the films you are complaining about are a very tiny group and in no way represent the average westerner.

Secondly, the people who are abusing freedom of speech are those who are calling for the death of others over a stúpid cartoon. Making fun of other people's religion is a perfectly legitimate activity which Muslims engage in just as much as everyone else. The idea that Islam or any other religion has some sort of special status over others is one that the no civilized society should ever accept.

Third, this is not how hate and xenophobia start. They start when religious and political leaders start calling for the deaths of others over stúpid YouTube videos and cartoons. If I were a Muslim, or lived in a Muslim country, I would be seriously ashamed of the rubbish some of my "leaders" have been saying recently.

Lastly, you asked if the west tolerates making of anti-Jewish remarks in the name of freedom of speech? The answer as any sensible person would know is clearly yes. The internet is full of antisemitic websites, videos and yes, even cartoons. The reason the Jews don't go about rioting and killing people about it is that most of them aren't homicidal fanatics, and the few who are are kept in check by the societies in which they live.

If Muslims want to live in a civilized world, they will have to learn to accept insults just like every other major religion has. End of story. Your religion so not special, It is not better than anyone else's. And you will NOT be treated differently. Deal with it.

I think the Western nations need to curtail such offensive comments.
Not only do they have diplomatic relations with Moslem countries, they also have a lot of Moslem citizens and immigrants.

We can go on about free speech and Moslem aggression, but the fact is there is a problem. If Moslems are willing to kill and die rather than let their prophet be blasphemed, then we have a problem. The backlash will always be there, just like the US found out in Libya. Why put your overseas people at risk in the name of free speech? Why allow reckless individuals to jeopardize world peace, all in the name of free speech? Not logical if you ask me.

It's some sort of subtle bigotry, if you ask me. After all, people are prosecuted for racism in the UK. Why can't people be prosecuted for making offensive comments about other cultures and beliefs?

Non-Muslims must not be made to live a life of fear of offending Muslims. There are hundreds of other religions in the world but they don't resort to violence at the flimsiest provocation.
As a Muslim if you feel your faith has been violated by there mark or behaviour of others why don't you leave your god to handled revenge.
Would the killing and maiming of innocent persons thousands of miles from the alleged provocator (as happened with the us ambassador to Libya) bring about justice?
Real Muslims should denounce fanatism, bigotry and political Islam.

Those rioting are simply going to have to learn to look the other way the same way the rest of us do and not react with violence. And by the way, rioting & burning down their own communities affects no one but themselves, hope they know this?

We can go on about free speech and Moslem aggression, but the fact is there is a problem. If Moslems are willing to kill and die rather than let their prophet be blasphemed, then we have a problem. The backlash will always be there, just like the US found out in Libya. Why put your overseas people at risk in the name of free speech? Why allow reckless individuals to jeopardize world peace, all in the name of free speech? Not logical if you ask me.

It's some sort of subtle bigotry, if you ask me. After all, people are prosecuted for racism in the UK. Why can't people be prosecuted for making offensive comments about other cultures and beliefs?
But you cannot have your cake and eat it. You cannot have free speech and then go ahead and declare certain speech off limits. The vast majority of the 'west' does frown upon these kinds of inciting comments, but we have chosen to respect their 'right' to say it.

It is true the backlash will probably always be there, but my question is who truly loses if the French, US, German etc etc close their embassies in muslim countries due to their incessant riots? I guarantee you if the US embassy in Egypt or Libya closes and never re-opens, Obama & every other American will not loose a second of sleep.

Those rioting are shooting themselves in the foot as embassy closures affect them 1000% more than the western country.
