So, essentially, you're not for free speech then?Originally Posted by Carlos Tevez
What's the purpose of these pictures and this thread?
You posted pictures you acknowledge are offensive but you try to deflect blame from yourself by saying you didn't draw them. By promoting these images and this kind of behaviour, you are just as guilty of being offensive and inflammatory as the people who drew these images.
I am all for freedom of speech as long as its constructive. There is nothing constructive about drawing pictures that have no other purpose but to piss people off.
I don't think anyone has the right to tell another how to follow their faith. Generalizing all of them doesn't help eitherOriginally Posted by spsfinest212

Are you for inflamatory rhetotic such as what is produced by the KKK? Do you think these people have a right to say whatever they want just to rile people up?Originally Posted by bighead2205

"Trolls"....always doing the most.
I am a Muslim as well. However, what people do is between them and their Lord. We shouldn't take heed to what these people do because that is what fuels them. We Muslims are better off ignoring this disrespect, because what they do as individuals will have nothing to do with us, and vice versa.Originally Posted by BeautifulStruggle1223
As a Muslim, you should all know that you're not challenging fringe Muslim extremists, and you are not provoking them, instead you are offending every Muslim unnecessarily.
To everyone who thinks Muslims should "lighten up", we will not, and we refuse to. Why? Because we take our Islam seriously, and believe it to be the true religion perfected and protected by God. Therefore, we will protect the sanctity of our religion so long as we do not violate the very beliefs we claim to protect. We cannot answer the questions that arise about why Catholics, other Christians, Jews, or Hindus do not speak out against the mockery of their religion as loudly as we do. It is not our place. However, please understand Islam does not condone violence in such matters at hand, but requires us to speak for the truth, the oppressed, and against those who do injustice.....such a matter as "Draw Muhammad Day" calls for action on our part to uphold the dignity of our religion....cause we all know that your participation and advocation for such events does attack the dignity and sacredness of our beliefs.
Furthermore, we similarly find it offensive when other prophets are depicted in an offensive matter, such as Jesus, Moses, and the like (peace be upon them).
As for those who claim Islam to be sexist, or immoral and unjust, i urge you to seek more knowledge about Islam from Muslims before attacking the beliefs or the Prophet (peace be upon him)....because as of now, you sound woefully ignorant. Feel free to ask me questions if you'd like.
