Muslim Response To Muhammad Cartoons
UPDATE Feb 13, 2006: HAMSHAHRI HOLOCAUST CARTOONS HERE
The response to the twelve Muhammad cartoons from Muslims worldwide has been massive, relentless, and utterly shameful. Countless incidents of vandalism and arson shed light on the barbaric course that the religion of Islam has taken. Many Muslims have voiced their outrage at my site. My question to you is simple, "why don’t you express outrage at the ever increasing number of fanatics in your religion?" The militant Muslims in Palestine, Iran, Iraq, Syria, and elsewhere are far more insulting and dangerous to Islam than any cartoon about Mohammad.
Here are some pictures displaying the Muslim response to the cartoons over the last week…

UPDATE Feb 13, 2006: HAMSHAHRI HOLOCAUST CARTOONS HERE
[...] UPDATE Feb 4, 2006: MUSLIM RESPONSE IS HERE:ALL 12 CARTOONS ARE HERE [...]
Salam-wulaykum! First of all, violence is not the was prophet Muhammad(peace be upon him) and Islamm teaches.The images of our prophet is very unaccurate along with the phrases. We as muslims need to understand the proper ways to handling this kinds of issues.Burning flags, destroying embassies or kidnapping is not a solution. We need to peacefully communicate with those countries authorities for such a eresponsible act. Muslims don’t forget how our prophet Muhammad(peace be upon him)WOULD hande adversity like this, Peace!
Now that all the burning has occured and once agian We Muslims giving the western countries more and more negative things to publish and broadcast about Islam is really unfortunate. Not to say that those baloony cartoons represents the truth about Muhammad(peace be upon him)or Islam is UNACCEPTABLE. HOW would they feel if something like this occurs about their POPES, Prest or etc………..Lets work it out peacefully Not Violence please…..
This isn’t about the cartoons anymore, this is another telling story of how islam has been hijacked by fundamentalists. people in the middle east are largely poor, unemployed, oppressed and living under faschist regimes. they can’t rise against their oppressors because their oppressors have petro dollars which they used to purchase weapons to oppress their own people. this is an oversimplified depiction of reality, but it holds truth when we look at the reasons regimes like Asad’s or Mubarak’s have lasted in power for decades. now, the populations can’t demonstrate against the sad state of affairs in their respective countries, but they can protest intangible silly incidents in other countries because their regimes simply are not threatened by it and will allow it to let them “blow off steam”. better leave them attack the danish embassy than let them boil up and have them one day attack the presidential palace(s) and set up gillutines. no one in the middle east has seen those cartoons, i garauntee you this…infact it took me about an hour of searching on google to find this site and look at the cartoons, and they are meant to be funny. and i’m muslim and I am from the middle east. people should chill out, it’s not none-issue…there are millions dieying in africa as we speak of famine, war and AIDS, yet some assholes are getting all worked up over cartoons. the people rioting and burning flags (wheather in the middle east, north africa or even europe) are just the marginalized poor (indiginous middle eastern population or poor working class immigrants in western europe). they’re being used by islamists who want to further their cause. and those select few islamist with an agenda (should not be confused with rioters who are holding banners they can’t even read cause they’re probably illiterate..in my country egypt 60% of the population is illiterate, so seeing someone with a banner written in english is a joke and it leads me to think islamists are using this again to further their agendas). now that I’ve let some steam off myself, I’ll stop blabbing, but thank you for giving us a venue to share our oppinions.
and I would just like to add that any muslim or non-muslim concerned about the caricatures – as if a funny cartoon is going to incite racial/ethnic hatred against muslims in DENMARK, one of the most liberal progressive states of europe today. people that are denouncing the cartoon’s publication should stop playing into the hands of islamists, they’re the real threat to muslims world wide today, they’re the real threat to islam as a tolerant religion about love and respect (or it used to be 30 years ago before the rise of islamists and the forging of an islamic political ideology). 30 years ago islam was a wonderful religion. now it’s been hijacked by wahabis and unless we do something, it will be lost forever. today, muslim clerics don’t talk about love, passion, dance, culture and life like they did 40 years ago (my mom’s school muslim religion teacher used to tell my mom and her friends in the late 60′s when she went to school in Egypt that they should go out, be theirselves, enjoy life, wear miniskirts, fall in love with boys, etc..as long as they don’t do anything they know they shouldn’t be doing…he encouraged them to set their own ethical framework, to be in control of their wills and desires, to find god from within. Compare this atitude with the madness that is islamic preachers today. all they talk about is jihad, war, infidals, war, jihad, jihad, jihad. in my 20 years of going to mosques on fridays, i’ve never once heard a cleric use the word “love”. why is that?
respect our prophet please
i`ve a lots of muslim friends here and they are so nice to us . i think that cartoons disrespect for them . please be senseable
bu nebicim is boyle , yaptiklari tam anlamiyla rezalet . yapilanlara sessiz kalmamak insanin elinde degil. din ,islam bukadar cabuk insanlarin eline dusmemeli . eger bunlari muslumanlar yapsaydi onlarin dini adamlarina acaba bukadar pozitif karsilanirmiydi ???? lutfen arkadaslar goruslerinizi bildirip bu anti-musluman lara gorteriniz . UNUTULMASINKI SON VE BOZULMAMIS DIN ISLAM DIR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
dediklerine tamamen katiliyorum yalcin
You say to Muslim people read but Hz.Muhammed’s own order was “Readâ€, you first read Koran than say your own words about it with respect. I have read The Bible but ı could not draw things like about anything that looks me unreasonable and funny because of my respect to people’s own believes. And in islamism it is forbidden to draw pictures of Hz. Muhammed, this can be look bizarre to some people but there are also inexplicable and strange believes in other religions.So respect our believes then wait respect.
ALLAHSIZLAR BIZ SIMDI INCILI OKUYUP ORDAN HZ. ISA yı MI ÇİZELÄ°M..BUNU MU Ä°STÄ°YONUZ…
I am am an Athiest and so quoting holy books has little point to me.
Some of the cartoons were in bad taste (a bomb turban?).
We of the West are fundamentalists just like our muslim friends. We are fundamentally about freedom of speech. We are fundamentally tolerant. Tolerant of gays and Jews (for example). We are even tolerant of intolerance. We even tolerate the hysterical muslim response to cartoons.
If the cartoons were about Jesus (the main Wester deity) no-one would care.
Many of my ancestors died because of medieval religious notions that went against thier opinions.
Westerners have for a many decades felt embarrassed about thier acheivements. We have made the world this place where even violent Islamic opinions are tolerated.
The battle of cultures thats West versus Islam has begun. Its western idealogy versus medievel religions fundamentalism.
If a newspaper has to take into account all religiouns it might never publish anything.
All thinking persons should protest the curtailing of thier rights expression by ideas that have not been acceptable in the West for hundreds of years.
Why all this noise is about? What then can the christian say about Di Vince Code? Christians continues to accept it as a FREEDOM OF OPINION, EXPRESSION, SPEECH. All muslims just keep your mouth shut! And mind you those publishing those cartoon might just be FREE THINKERS. What can the Muslim World say about the Jordanian press! Lets start to think with our heads.
no money no food no education no hope with tons of conservative customs and constant talk from politicians and elders on hypocrasy and hostility of west world and many proofs of the very same thing coming from west through invasions, declarations, etc. what would you do?

It is always citizens of countries like Denmark, Norway, Finland to come up with such foolish things. A lot of money, nothing to do, no time spent out due to cold whether, no real problems… And no culture or habit of living togather with and respecting different cultures and belief…
Sizin dininizi biz kabul ediyor ve saygı duyuyoruz ama sizde bizim dinimize ve peygamberimize saygı durmak zorundasınız.Bu dünyada bir daha dinsavaÅŸları baÅŸlarsa zararlı olanlar sizler olursunuz.Müslümanlar dinleri uÄŸruna herÅŸeyi yaparlar bunu iyi bilin efendiler ve kendinize gelin ÅŸerefsizlik yapmayın………

[...] Religious Freaks has some pictures of the muslim response. Most chilling: A photo of a woman with a sign saying “Get Ready for the Real Holocaust.” [...]
What is happening ?
There are 6 Billon people on the earth.
There are 5 387 300 people in Denmark.
5 000 000 of those didn´t know that the face of Mohammed is forbidden to see or draw.
387 000 maybe knew this but couldn´t stop the pictures being published – because they didn´t know anyhing about it …
Less then 300 knew that pictures was to be published, but didn´t really know what would happen, or they shurely would have changed their plans..
900 million – 1400 million peaceloveing muslims
suddenly 4 mouths after the publishing !!
claim that this is the worst thing done to their profet Mohammed …and start burning ambassad-buildings .. people are dieing …
Why ?
Am I missing something ??
Assalamu’alaikum (السلام عليكم)
when i put my head over my pillow and close my eyes i surely know that i have 1 God,1 Book and 1 Prophet Hz.Muhammed(s.a.v.)(peace be upon him)…
when da vinci problem comes in touch let’s see what the writer says;
ARE YOU A CHRISTIAN?
Yes. Interestingly, if you ask three people what it means to be Christian, you will get three different answers. Some feel being baptized is sufficient. Others feel you must accept the Bible as absolute historical fact. Still others require a belief that all those who do not accept Christ as their personal savior are doomed to hell. Faith is a continuum, and we each fall on that line where we may. By attempting to rigidly classify ethereal concepts like faith, we end up debating semantics to the point where we entirely miss the obvious–that is, that we are all trying to decipher life’s big mysteries, and we’re each following our own paths of enlightenment. I consider myself a student of many religions. The more I learn, the more questions I have. For me, the spiritual quest will be a life-long work in progress.
as shown above this is Christians’ own problem and any Islamic issues had comment on it..
just please have senses and dont try to touch to our idols again…just dont make shadow over us we dont want anything more…
“It is always citizens of countries like Denmark, Norway, Finland to come up with such foolish things. A lot of money, nothing to do, no time spent out due to cold whether, no real problems… And no culture or habit of living togather with and respecting different cultures and belief…”
You talk about them like there’s something wrong with them. Here’s the most important point you made in your remark: “no real problems”. Ok, why do you think that is? Obviously, you imply that other people, namely Muslims, do have problems, and a lot of them. Why do you think that is?
Perhaps it’s because the northern Europeans know how to set up and run a good society, where people can be happy and free to do or think or say whatever they want. Meanwhile, the Muslims live in crappy places and are miserable.
Here’s a clue for you: if Muslims are miserable, it’s their own doing. Stop blaming the rest of the world for your own problems, and get to work fixing them instead of whining and complaining.
As for the people speaking some foreign language here, write it in English if you want anyone in the West to understand it. Obviously, you must know English if you’re able to read anything on this website (namely the article) in order for you to respond to it, so why are you reverting to a different language than the accepted one for this site?
For the people talking about respect: here’s a few thoughts for you:
1) No matter what you do, some people just aren’t going to respect you. That’s life. Here in the West, we have this thing called “freedom of speech”; if you don’t like what someone else says, you don’t have to listen or agree. You can also argue with him if you like. There’s always idiots out there, and there isn’t much you can do about them in a free society. This is a good thing, because it allows new ideas to come out without being repressed, so that society can advance, instead of being held back like Muslim societies are. Imagine where we’d be now if we were like Muslim societies, where scientists couldn’t say that the Earth orbits the Sun without some religious nuts burning him at the stake.
2) Respect is something to be earned. Muslims have not earned any respect. With constant suicide bombing and other acts of terrorism, Muslims have earned the stereotype that they are all terrorists. Don’t like it? Then stop the terrorists. You aren’t a terrorist? Well, you live in a society filled with them, and filled with people who support them. Do something about them. Get rid of the things that cause the stereotype, and the stereotype will disappear on its own.
3) Furthermore, when you get all up in arms about a couple of cartoons, exactly how is that helping you? Suppose I’m walking down the street, and some person calls me an idiot. Should I start a fight with him, and go to jail, or should I ignore him and keep going? Common sense dictates the latter. I’m not helping myself any by causing a fight, and in fact I’m severely harming myself. This is what all you Muslims are doing by complaining about a silly cartoon.
I am really, really shocked at the response to these cartoons.
Islam believers have produced and encouraged suicide bombers to kill men women and children … just because they don’t believe in Mohammed.
If we were all on a desert island with no food, water and only each other………….what would it matter what or who you believed in. We all have 2 legs, 2 arms, 1 head – unless suicide bombers have blown some off ofcourse.
I live in a country where we have tried to welcome muslims into our society. You hold up posters of death to us and that we should expect a REAL holocaust. True evil has been seen. Islam breeds evil.
If you do not like the cartoons that westerners print – GO HOME!!!!!!!!!! WHY ARE YOU IN OUR COUNTRY THEN! Oh yes, you live in poverty and squalour back ‘home’ where your brothers look after each other so well!!! Or………you are afraid to be killed because or you have said something they don’t like or believe something they don’t agree with. Oh my, if your country and it’s beliefs were so good – WHY COME TO OUR COUNTRIES AND TAKE OUR MONEY????
Oh yes, our government allow you because they are all for political correctness and want to be nice!! The people on the street are not – you are all making a rod for your own back. The general western population do not like what you do to our countries and the threats and acts muslims carry out. Why not protest when your brothers kill innocent people???? Because we are infidels ofcourse – that is what you are instructed to do – kill all infidels. We will retaliate – the government can not stop us when we do.
These cartoons – CARTOONS …… for mohammeds’ sake!!! would not be printed in your muslim countries and if you weren’t here – IN OUR COUNTRIES – AS VISITORS – because you were unsafe or whatever excuse you had to get away from the hellhole you lived in – would not be printed there and you would have no reason to be offended.
I TAKE OFFENSE AT SEEING PEOPLE’S HEADS CHOPPED OFF ON TELEVISION AND BUILDINGS AND TRAINS AND PLANES BLOWN UP – watch out people. The western people are tolerant – not stupid. We have been stupid to allow islam a place in our countries.
All non-muslims unite – the time is coming!

This is ridiculous. I thought this website might be able to encourage some kind of reasonable conversation but evidently it has so far done the opposite, as a forum for hate.
Hi,
Wow.. Its amazing that it is ok for muslims to insult christians and call us dirty while its not o.k. if we put cartoon figures of their prophet. hmmmm.. so you will whinge about anything under the stars… and the rest of us have to deal with it..but when we whinge you say “tough!” I thought the Muslim religion is a humble & tolerent.. obviously, I am wrong!
Well God Bless The Christians and Muslims God Loves you too if you are nicer…:)
My reply is to my Turkish friends (which I am as well),
some argues Christians would react the same if muslims draw Jesus’ caricatures. it is completely not true, in a conservative culture like in the US there are video clips where Madonna has sex with Jesus and no one goes a head and attacks anybody because of this. Islam should update itself ASAP. It is not acceptable to say that women should wear headscraf because men would get intimidated etc.
I hope everybody will be able to come out of the dark tunnels of religions. Wisdom will eventually overcome religion.
Regards.
ıf we respect every religion,you also have to respect our religion like yours.if we did it for jesus,if we cartooned jesus as a pimp or terrorist what would you do?? of course there is a freedom you can cartooned everything but not like that..and unbelievable says:”True evil has been seen. Islam breeds evil”. that’s a big shame..yes maybe there are muslim terrorists but christian too..and islam never breeds evil..and ı want to thank you WOW you are completely true..
god bless all people who is nice behaved and think:) but god already loves muslims;)
birde arkadaslar lutfen kufur etmeyelim..muslumanlık hakkında kotu dusunen insanlara kufurden daa iyi cevaplar verebilcemizi dusunuorm ve vermemizde gerekir..kufurle cevap vermektense akılda kalıcı ve onlar “kapak” edici cevaplar yazmalııyız.
tesekkurler..
ever since the beginning of time humans have been forming groups and usuall end up fighting with each other , we are geneticaly programmed
to conflict with each other, we have not yet had a time ever when there has not been a war somewhere on the planet, if it wasnt cartoons it would be something else, like the “opressive west” or “the americans” or whatever … boo hoo hoo , these folk should stnd back and take a look at their lives and maybe they might just see the proper priorities and get on with life and stop living day to day for their religion and warmongering, let the world have some peace for a while please …. they were only picture ..get over it …. who would die for a picture for god sake .. fanatical or what ???
people look one min at this point of view:
1-freedom of thaught and to speek!>

Answer- yes, you can insult me. it’s your right, yes I can get mad at you, but I will never burn your houses or your ambasades.
2-the person with the nickname “UNBELIEVABLE†wrote something a little longer than what you quoted. And if you read that and try to understand what he/she means you will see that he has a point there. Don’t get all upset read carefully, impartialy.
3-I have no idea what you are trying to tell me there!

to all violent extremists: may God, Allah, Mohamed and whom ever you want to bring you together and to make in a way to distroy yourselfs, not to destroy others.

Well, my dear I take our ass gently so feel pretty deep inside.
Freedom of speach – Story for mentally retarted.
How much you really know about your society and world around you.
200000 People being killed in Iraq. People oppressed in Palestine for 50 years now. Crisis in Sudan. Generation of young men in Chechen. Chineese oppressing Tibetens. Indians opperessing minorities. Europeans destroying poor African countries by paying nothing for their goods, … … …
You all know much more about ass size of hollywood actressess
(dear you all have been hijacked in the name of free press)
Respect is earned – US bombed Iraqis on world’s biggest lies. European Union followed them like cheap bitch sold for nothing. Respect for US and European NATIONS. THEY EARNED IT. BASTERDS!!!
exactly how is that helping you? – Thanking for providing reason/ground for Muslim countries to UNITE. Our governments have been striving for that for so long. Here credit goes to you guys!!!
You don’t respect us in America, Yeah,I understand that. Then quit asking us for money when your citizens are hungry, or sick, or being tortured and slaughtered by criminals that run your countries. You live in squallor and then can’t wait to come to America to take our jobs and send your money back home so some idiot amongst you can blow up somebody else. You come to our shores and want us to change for you. Forget it. I won’t even shop in a store where there is a person that LOOKS like they can form the middle east.
Guess who gave me those feelings. YOU GUN TOTING, SCARF WEARING, BOMB BUILDING,IDIOTS THAT WANT TO KILL SOMEBODY OVER A STUPID CARTOON. Your group doesn’t even have the guts to show your faces when you march, kill, torch flags, or kill somebody on TV. What’s the matter, you not so proud of what you are doing that you have to hide. You want respect, start by stopping the terrorist that live next to and inside your own homes. But no, you won’t tell on him because he or she is a muslim. Instead you watch as the fanatic goes and blows up your children. But as long as he kills one westerner, I guess you don’t care how many of your brothers and sisters go with him.
I might be wrong, but I think the humiliation and anger is understandable. Though even presidents or such are also being ridiculed sometimes, you don’t joke with things like races and religions. War just started like that and it’s a big, big regret.
http://www.michaelsavage.com
Watch Mohamad Hasan Chop off heads in the name of allah, see the beheadings brought to you by the religion of peice!
You joke with everything, presidents, religions, race, nothing escapes to jokes. As long as you dont harm no person it’s ok! But when you start to take lifes THAT’S intolerant.
Someone write (#459)on the other forum: “Where are all those peace-loving and intelligent muslims everyone keeps talking about? Why are they not being heard? Are they saying anything? If they are, how loudly? A billion people whispering peace would be great noise but I don’t hear it.
All that is required for evil to flourish is for good people to do nothing. “
bu olayı şiddettle kınıyorum dinimize yapılan çirkin bir saldırı bu ben ce danimarka mallarını boykot etmelişyiz
bu olay tüm islam alemine yapılmış bir saldırıdır biz türkler olarak bu olaya şiddetle karşık vermemeliyiz çünkü bu bir sınav dır
I just saw the cartoons about our prophet and really surprised why the muslim people got so angry. In all the muslim countries you see similar cartoons about jesus or other prophets except Muhhamed. In the muslim countries these fanatic people are not very many and the educated muslims are not like them. Burning flags is much worse than the cartoos. I am very sorry about the religious fanatics whether they are muslim or from any other religion. If they are scared of cartoons it means that they believe that thecartoons are representing the truth.
“Islam should update itself ASAP. It is not acceptable to say that women should wear headscraf because men would get intimidated etc.
I hope everybody will be able to come out of the dark tunnels of religions.” says Baris #29, which I totally agree (I am a muslim too and I feel ashamed lately for being one of you – the ones who know nothing but swear and curse other people).
Nicely put Baris, thank you.
And for the Christian people writing and giving their opinions on this forum, I can only say “sorry” on behalf of all Muslims.
i don’t enough enlish. i think people are irreligious because HZ.MUHAMMED prophet !!!
HZ Ä°SA prophet HZ MUSA prophet but we don’t tp speak ill of your religion
arkadaslar bağırıp cağırmakla değil yukarda birinini söledği gibi boykot ederekte en güzel tepkiyi verebiliriz ama trabzondaki oaly bize yakısmadi bunun gibi seyleri bize yakıstıramam muslumanlar herzaman kotuluğu iyilik ile yenmiştir hey gidi hey bi 2. abdulhamid gibi bi önder olackti da gelirim oraya dediği anda bunlardan iz kalmıcaktı
ALLAHIN SELAMI ÃœZERÄ°NÄ°ZE OLSUN SELAMUN ALEYKUM
tepkiler doÄŸrumu yanlışmı bilmiyorum…onu ÅŸimdi düşünemiyorum bile..ama bizim bu kadar inandığımız her duamızda el açtıgımız peygamberimize ve onun inananlarına karşı aÅŸağılıkça bir saldırı..hoÅŸgörü sınırının üstünde anlaşılmaz…ım sure that all muslims have respectfull all prophet and believes…ı m muslim…and ı live in turkey…ı dont perform rituel players..but ı believe to god and all prohibets…
this is almost unbelieveable…i keep reading that images of the Prophet Mohammed are forbidden BY MUSLIMS (emphasized for a reason) to prevent idolatry. So that means, if you are a Muslim, you cannot/should not create/worship or otherwise have contact with an image of Mohammed. How does that extend to ANYONE ELSE? How many muslims can admit that, when this shit started, they just had to look at the cartoon itself just to see what the fuss was about? (Fewer than actually looked, i’d venture). Moreover, there are many people in this world to whom symbols are important…many in Western countries see their country’s flag as the most important symbol they know of…does that create a responsibility on the part of Muslims not to burn flags? I think not! (Yet, according to the logic of the minority of inflamed Muslim nutcase extremists, or flag-worshiping nutcases, as the case may be, these things ARE forbidden!) If you are reading this right now, you are alive in the 21st century, where there will forever be the availability of material over which to become offended. Our cultures have more contact with one another than ever before. Accept that this cannot be prevented or reversed. If you cannot deal with that, and must instead resort to violence over the refusal of others to censor themselves in accordance with your personal beliefs, then we will have war. It’s that simple…sad, but simple.
Personally, I find the cartoons abhorrent; but one must learn that s/he cannot (should not, really) try to change anyone’s beliefs or practices by violence (this goes double for you G.W. Bush); rather, one should respect another’s right to be a complete fucking idiot and print stupid shit like that!
I find religion abhorent. If we banned religion we could make the world alot safer and peaceful
