Two years ago, a danish newspaper published some drawings of Muhammed. Those were followed by violent protests from the muslim community, and consumer boycotts in several countries. It ended with two of the artists going underground after threats of murder.
Now, swedish artist Lars Vilks have submitted drawings of Muhammed as a dog, for an exhibition on "the dog in the art". Unsurprisingly, it was followed by more protests. Swedish diplomats in Iran and Pakistan were summoned to respective government and received protests against Vilk's drawings from them. Now, what are they so upset about? See below...
I'm not anti-muslim or anti-Vilks in any way, but I do believe that it has been blown out of proportion. I want people to see this picture and realize how silly it is.
- Ok, you must admit that was the most creative cussing this site have ever seen -
It's obvious you don't understand islam culture at all. To call a muslim a dog (or anyone in the middle east, even non muslims) is the lowest insult you can make. You're basically telling him is the lowest and most stupied lifeform there is on earth and should be treated as such. If you do that in a islamic country, they must likely drag you before a judge and you get sentenced for such a grave insult.
To draw Muhammed as a dog is a huge insult to the Islam and is the most disrepectfull thing that you can do to Muhammed..... as far as muslims are concerned.
Of course we all know that if muslims in truly islamic countries protest it hardly says anything..... they've all been incited to do. Propagated and often even paid by their goverments to do so. Most of the muslims could really care less, it's a only a handfull of dumb religious fanatics that do fuzz about and unfortunally they often have way to much power in those countries, putting presure on the goverments and the people through all kinds of threads. To be honest and no offense meant, but Islam is the worst and most threatening religion there is on earth. Wherever there are fanatic muslims, there's trouble and no decency or respect for human life and diversity at all. Islam is not a religion of peace, it's a religion of fear, threads, dominion and war.
"To be honest and no offense meant, but Islam is the worst and most threatening religion there is on earth."
And a few hundred years ago, you could have said the very same thing about Christianity. The fact is, every religion has it's fanatics. You've got conservative Christians blowing up Planned Parenthood and the like. Not to mention the scientologist fanatics.
"And a few hundred years ago, you could have said the very same thing about Christianity."
Nope I would not.... about Catholisism for sure, but Christianity and Catholisism are two completely different things. Christians always have been pursecuted by Catholics and in many places they still are.
Problem with Christianity is that most people who call themselves Christians are far truly from being Christian at all..... they never listened well enough to Jesus teachings at all: turn the other cheek. Problem with fanactic muslims is that they are true muslims, since they do what the Koran tells them to do: fight the unbeliever with the sword.
