Drawing Muhammad or anyone else isn't inherently disrespectful. However, it is against the laws in Islam to depict their prophet. When Muslims ask you to respect their faith and not draw Muhammad, they are not really asking for respect. When Muslims ask you not to interrupt them during prayers or tempt them during Ramadan, then they are asking for respect. When Muslims ask you not to draw Muhammad, they actually asking you to follow a tenet of Islam. They are asserting their religious beliefs on you. They are trying to oppress you in a sense, whether or not they understand it.

When they protest against a non-Muslim who has drawn Mohammed's picture, it is not a legitimate protest. If a non-Muslim forces a Muslim to draw a picture of Muhammad, that would be a cause for a legitimate protest. However, when they protest against drawings made by non-Muslims, it is akin to a mob protesting blasphemers and heretics. In the West we believe in free speech and religious freedom, but Muslims in the East see this as an affront to what's good and holy and society itself. Our doctrine of free speech is a blasphemy. But these protests are as barbaric as protesting against Christians having a church because a trinitarian conception of God contradicts Islam. We should see it as such.

In short the people complaining are saying they have a right to not be offended... But offense is taken not given...

[–]Aceofspades25 34ポイント35ポイント  (1子コメント)

The stupidity here is that they see this as akin to racism or islamophobia.

A number of well spoken Muslim scholars have come out in defense of blasphemy laws saying that offending religious sensibilities is equivalent to hate speech.

Why a well educated person cannot see that criticising a religion is not the same thing as hating a people group is beyond me.

People will always get offended, as long as it doesn't lead to violence I don't see why you got to make up shit like this.

Making fun of someone else's culture will always result in offense, its simple logic. As long as you're making fun of people then the people you're making fun of should have a right to say something.

Doesn't mean you have to abandon the right to free speech though.

This is the correct response. I support the right to peaceful protest against the content of my free speech.

If you were to demand I no longer have a right to free speech is when I tell you to go fuck yourself.

Can someone explain to me why saying things like "we love muhammad more than our lives" isn't a form of idolatry? They revere Muhammad like he is a god.

[–]Roznak 215ポイント216ポイント  (61子コメント)

That is interesting, since the purpose of not drawing a cartoon of Mohamed is that he was afraid that they would revere him as a god.

[–]downvotethechristian 19ポイント20ポイント  (31子コメント)

I don't think it's true that Muslims don't want you drawing Muhammad simply because it may lead to idolatry; I think it's moreso that they simply don't want you making fun of him. But you're right; they revere him in such a way that teenage girls revere american idols on american idol.

AFAIK, historically the prescription against the drawing of religious figures (iconoclasty) was born precisely out of a fear of idolatry, and by contrast with Christian practice where saints and religious icons were venerated almost as much as God.

Most Sunni Muslims believe that visual depictions of all the prophets of Islam should be prohibited[16] and are particularly averse to visual representations of Muhammad.[17] The key concern is that the use of images can encourage idolatry.

[–]FOTBWN 20ポイント21ポイント  (5子コメント)

Its interesting that drawings of Muhammad will get reactions but depictions of God garner little to nothing.

Logically one would come to the conclusion that whilst they may not want to admit it, muslims are actually putting Muhammad above god by their reverence of him.

Aniconism in Islam is a proscription in Islamagainst the creation of images of sentient living beings. The most absolute proscription is of images of God in Islam, followed bydepictions of Muhammad, and then Islamic prophets and the relatives of Muhammad, but the depiction of all humans and animals is discouraged in the hadith and by the long tradition of Islamic authorities, especiallySunni ones.

That's really the case in islam. Mohammed is of no difference to jesus christ in practice, he is god-like. His birthday and deathday are celebrated/mourned. Some cleriks claim that mohammad is equal to allah himself. There is even a hadeeth stating that all universe is created for mohammad himself : https://www.google.com.tr/search?q=universe+is+created+for+muhammad&safe=off&client=safari&hl=en&biw=768&bih=927&source=lnms&sa=X&ei=aRjYVJuNIpHkapSagZAC&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAA

[–]iluvucorgi 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

In Islamic thought Jesus and Mohammed are very alike, seeing as they are both viewed as mortal men and prophets. The celebration of Mohammed's birthday is a relatively new and limited phenomena, which tends to be rejected by many. I don't know who celebrates either death day, Christians tend to celebrate the resurrection.

The hadith you link to is decribed as weak in the top google results.

The thing is, in Islam life is a very frivolous, meaningless 'high school' of your eternal existence. You have to work hard on the crazy, arbitrary rules so you can 'graduate' and go to paradise to have massive drunken orgies, or you'll 'flunk out' and go to hell.

Now, that makes it very stressful for people obviously, so the accepted shortcuts to 'graduation' are very appealing - like dying as Mujahideen, or killing someone who insulted islam.

There is a reason the Motto of Hamas, very popular in Palestine, is "We yearn for death as the Jew cherishes life!"

[–]wordyf 15ポイント16ポイント  (0子コメント)

Much of it is cultural but is funny once you get the references.

One cartoon shows a rabbi, a priest and an imam over the globe. The Catholic says: You keep the West sector, and you keep the East sector. From Cabu. This one is a bit old.

Another one has a curvaceous woman's back with a "1905 Law" and "No God, No Master" tattooed on her upper left butt cheek. This one dates from 2005, the 100-years of the separation of church and state in France. This is a "kiss my ass" to religion. From Wolinski who died on January 7th, and drew a lot of women. When you see his wife, you will understand.

https://www.google.com/search?q=epouse+de+wolinski&client=safari&rls=en&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=eATYVJmOHYyUNs6jg2g&ved=0CB8QsAQ&biw=1287&bih=685

She is 72 years old, for fuck's sake. Lucky guy.

One has a terrorist sitting in jail. The question is "How is that Terrorist Cell?" the guy replies "9 square meters".

Another one lists the "+ / -" of the january 11th massive demonstration.

The first one shows people saying "all together" in the + column. The second shows people singing the Marseillaise. Charlie didn't like expressed patriotism.

Second one shows a French personality who brought pot to the survivors. The minus column shows that they also had to shake the hand of the prime minister.

Third shows everyone sending love to the survivors, then in the minus column, looks like someone has a PTSD-related ED.

Fourth shows Madonna throwing her panties in the + column (recurring joke since she threw her panties to a president in the 90s). The one in the Minus column shows Angela Merkel saying "I am not wearing any panties".

Fifth shows that people will smoke freely at Liberation (who now hosts Charlie), the minus column shows the ghost of Charb who forbids his journalists to smoke.

Sixth: the Prez gives money, everyone gives money. But the journalists are dead.

Stouf-le-skin is a cartoon depicting a stupid nationalist and racist skinhead. He explains that he is a neonazi retard who loves Marine le Pen, drawn by Luz who survived the attack. He loves Maurice-et-Patapon, drawn by Charb, a pun on Maurice Papon, a former collaborator from nazi occupation who ended up a big political figure under De Gaulle and a symbol of the French nazi past. He says these 2 dogs always show their assholes to him, which means Charlie drew people, but also assholes.

Anyway, feel free to ask about others. I can transcribe a few when I have the time.

See, here's the problem... it makes perfect sense to be offended if someone says something offensive about your religion. It makes perfect sense to protest and demonstrate about this matter as well.

With that said, that the petition rather pointedly leaves out any condemnation of the killers... I think that's a bit ominous. I'd like to talk to some of the protesters and hear their comments about the attackers. On second thoughts, I wouldn't, as the whole experience would likely make me angry and depressed.

I think legislation affects pretty much all people equally - unless you are rich or powerful, then you get a pass. Just look at the US post 9/11. Laws - such as 'The Patriot Act' - were created 'to protect people from terrorists', yet the most affected by these laws were American citizens.

Muslims are funny people.

  • You can't draw a cartoon of Mohammed, but no one ever knows how Mohammed looks like.
  • You can't draw a cartoon of Mohammed, but you can write his name. Which is basically also a drawing.
  • A lot of Muslims even call themselves Mohammed and have selfies of Mohammed.
  • Mohammed didn't want to have a drawing of himself scared that they would worship him instead of God, but the protesters clearly demonstrates that they are worshiping the prophet! The very thing Mohammed said don't do that!
  • Mohammed didn't want to have a drawing of himself scared that they would worship him instead of God. What is the point in being offended that Atheists and Christians draw Mohamed pictures? There is no risk that they will worship him.
  • Being offended by a cartoon, is worse than ISIS offending the name of their god by having satanic rituals like burning Muslims because there is no protest against that.

I'm a pretty anti-religious dude, but I was raised Muslim and know lots of Muslims and I can tell you that majority of moderate Muslims especially in the West do not give a shit. Conservative Muslims may support that idea but I'm pretty sure you can go to Buttfuck, Alabama or Texas and ask the same kind of questions about gays and black people and you'll probably get similar results.

And yeah you can pull out those polls but it's almost easy to get polls to prove what you want. Also it's daily mail so I'd take it with a grain of salt, we know they like to exaggerate.

Here are your moderate Muslims.

Yea, when a Muslim family grows up surrounded by secular society on all sides, they might not support apostasy punishments and blasphemy laws. But Muslims left to their own devices in their own element often do support such policies.

Alabama or Texas and ask the same kind of questions about gays and black people and you'll probably get similar results.

Everyone has a limit. For some people, that limit might be cartoons trivializing rape or sexual harassment. For these people, it's cartoons of their religious icon. Everyone has a right to be offended by something. The thing is, however, that even if you have a right to be offended, you have no right to take away someone else's right to expression, just to keep offense away. This is how free-thinking societies work, after all.

Hey Muslims, it's a democracy. Get used to it or leave.

The protest was soon met with a larger group of Muslims counter protesting the right for free nations to criticize religion"

oh wait, that didnt happen.

Looking at those pictures it seems very evident now that the UK has a serious immigration problem.

For a moment I thought I was looking at a picture of Karachi or something.

What pisses me off is the fact that these ignorant shit heads get to live in such first world countries where as educated, skilled and far more open minded Asians like me are stuck here because of visa issues.

How in the blue hell these guys are able to get visas to live there is beyond me.

I disagree with these protests (in concept, not in their right to do it), I believe people have the right to be offended, but not the right to not be offended.

However, people are seeming to pretend that the UK and France have true free-speech, and are glorious, when neither country actually does. They have free-speech, with limits. America has true free speech, even here in Canada we don't have true free speech (there is such thing as inciting racial hatred...etc).

The right to protest. And the Muslims also have the right to draw cartoons of Dawkins and the flying spaghetti monster to upset the atheists.

[–]bobbity_bob_bob 33ポイント34ポイント  (2子コメント)

Agreed if we want to support the right to make Prophet Mohammad Cartoons we should also support butt-hurt Muslims wanting to peacefully protest against it.

[–]Roznak 25ポイント26ポイント  (1子コメント)

The right to peaceful protest against it, but not the right to shut down people's drawing of cartoons even Mohammeds.

[–][deleted] 2ポイント3ポイント  (2子コメント)

Thing is, that won't upset us, because we don't actually take the FSM seriously, and we don't worship Dawkins as a prophet.

They can protest all they want. The minute they start getting violent, or the West starts kowtowing to their religious bullshit, that's the time to get angry and shut them down.

I don't know why they just don't pack up and leave already.

I don't think British society agrees with free speech in general given they put people in jail for benign tweets.

[–]HJonGoldrake 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

True.

And at the same time we need to take things a little bit less at face value. The spokesguy interviewed at this protest (I don't know if the daily fail has him, the telegraph did and I'm not opening a DM link) said "Extremists, be they murderers or cartoonists, all cause disunity in society". Which is quite openly drawing a parallel between murderers and fucking cartoonists. I don't think this is a case of genuinely supporting free speech more than it is a case of realizing that they can't be full-out asking for those cartoons to be stopped, but they'd really like to.

Where are those thousands protesting the terrorists in the middle east? This really seems to be a shitty move by them. If they can't defend freedom and tolerance then I personally don't find any credence in anything that they are protesting. A few cartoons vs. the lives of the innocents? I can't see these protesters having a leg to stand on.

The laws that exist allow people to protest and also allow free speech. I think the appropriate response to this is 'k' and just continue on with our day. Also keep in mind that the stupidest minority of any group of people are generally the loudest, so take this with a grain of salt.

The response to this should not be a restriction on the freedom of speech or assembly. The response by the public should be condemnation for the kind of hypocrisy and religious chauvinism on display here: they claim that we cannot draw pictures of Mohammed, but they hold our values in contempt and teach their children allegiance to a religion rather than to the UK or our values.

The response by the government should be more subtle: only reformed versions of Islam should be provided with government support. Only liberal Muslims who teach that it is OK to marry Brits, that teach love and acceptance should be given permits for schools, mosques or advocacy groups. The rest should be quietly de-permitted and closed. The only way to deal with rampant Muslim Chauvinism is from a network analysis perspective: the nodes of transmission of the most pernicious, self-ghettoizing beliefs should be closed.

[–]Milagro_chef 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

Kind of simple. Mohammed is a prophet... G_d is G_d. No human is G_d. To elevate Mohammed is to perform idolatry. Therefore, Islam worship idolatry. To celebrate death over life is a death-cult. Therefore Islam is an idolatrous death - cult and not a religion.

Pretty easy when you take a Islam at its own words.

Idolatrous, death - cult. Deal with it honestly.

Nice if these people used their time protesting about real problems like austerity or the HSBC scandal.

but no, they waste their time on their imaginary cosmic delusion.
