Cartoons of Prophet Muhammad Comments

In the last part of my first reaction on the cartoons of prophet Muhammad. I placed my e-mail address, to get some feedback.

In this last week the madness about the cartoons became even bigger than I expected.

On this page an overview of reactions in my mailbox. I don't censer ever. So comments are placed one on one, and have nothing to do with my own opinion. I read opinions and try to learn from them.

Art the War Out !

Following the news a little bit. There was one of all the media comments and reactions I liked most: The one an Iranian newspaper to set up a contest for mock cartoons about the holocaust.  A very good idea. Let us battle out the differences between cultures and faith by cartoons, music, or other kinds of arts. Art the war out ! . Would be a very nice theme for 2006. No more violence and more and more mocking and dishing in cartoons. Showing how ridicules this world is how we people and our leaders think and are.

If these holocaust cartoons are published in an Iranian newspaper please send me the url.

Comments cartoons of Prophet Muhammad

Danish Cartoons

I respect Muslims, rather the ones that are not planning to kill me. But I respect free speech also, and not letting free speech be controlled by terror. I believe the Danish people should be proud to freely speak their minds, and I hope they do not let the terrorists take that right from them. Nobody is above any other person, and that includes Muslims, so they need to accept the world will insult them just as freely as they will respect them. I made a game out of the Danish cartoon in response to this. Although the game starts with the introduction from their Prophet, it continues on into a shooting gallery for the ones who gave their Prophet a bad image, such as Osama Bin Laden. Enjoy the game, it is free for any to play, you can find it at my website, http://www.obber.com.

Religion is a personal thought

I feel it is started by terrorists who spent a few months to get hatrade started. the reason is Danmark and other European countries stay away from conficting with terrorists directly, who couldn't find reasons to "jihad" those countries. I saw a picture people held sign written: behead those who don't respect Islam.

Religion is a personal thought, something nobody can prove in this life. take it to "behead", is a little too extreme to me.
