Come on, the second one is pretty problematic. You really can't understand why, as muslim arabs are increasingly under attack, people might be upset about having their faith - and themselves by association - portrayed as inherently violent?

So what if they are offensive? The cartoons have flushed out the so-called peace-loving Mohammedans. Violent fanatics seem to be in the majority in the affected countries.

I don't get it either, Must be because I'm a Pagen. Or something close to it, I'm all lost when it comes to that stuff as well.

Violent fanatics are not the majority. There are a small vocal minority getting all the press. I did not post the cartons in order to give people an excuse to make racist comments. I did it to make a point about free speech and the intolerance of fundamentalists.

as usual- much to do about nothing. Especially when so many are suffering from lack of food and medical care. Situations that the Profit said his followers should do something about. I also believe a man of God would never result to violence to slove a situation.

Not the majority? Maybe, maybe not, see:

also: the followers Mohammedan constitute a religion, not a race, therefore anti-moslem sentiments are not necessarily racism.
