Since I am not a religious fundalmentalist I have a difficult time understanding the violence behind the recent Mohammad cartoons incident. Maybe, I could understand it better if Muslims where rioting over the death of thousands of innocent Iraqi, Afghanstinian, and Palestinian people slaughtered over land and religion. But, over cartoons? I know they were blasphamous to you, and it is very sad that the cartoonists didn't take this into consideration while they were creating them. So many different points of view at Blogger's News Network.
"The Muslim group that spearheaded criticism of a Danish newspaper for publishing caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad said Tuesday it accepted the paper's apology.
A spokesman for Denmark's Islamic Faith Community, Kasem Ahmad, said on Danish radio Tuesday that "we will clearly and articulately thank the prime minister and Jyllands-Posten for what they have done." "
Also to make sure all is right or wrong, as the case may be, the Organization of Islamic Conferences, is investigating what they believe to be a “disrespect for belief.”
"Why did Jyllands-Posten publish the cartoons? The Copenhagen Post explains: “Jyllands-Posten called for and printed the cartoons by various Danish illustrators, after reports that artists were refusing to illustrate works about Islam, out of fear of fundamendalist retribution. The newspaper said it printed the cartoons as a test of whether Muslim fundamentalists had begun affecting the freedom of expression in Denmark.” -from The Newspaper Index
