Bobblehead Muhammed?
** BY TINA MOORE
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER
A ceramic bobblehead doll of the Prophet Muhammed - created to resemble the infamous caricature published by a Danish newspaper - is being hawked online for $22.99 a pop by an ex-Marine. The unapologetic creator, Timothy Ames, 28, said the bobblehead is similar to “dashboard Jesus” figurines that can be stuck with adhesive to flat surfaces. “I thought, ‘If they flipped out over some cartoons what will they do with a dashboard Muhammed?’” Ames said from his home in Hawaii.
But Islamic experts are not amused, saying the bobbleheads could anger Muslims, whose religion strictly prohibits depictions of the prophet.
“No depiction of the prophet, even if it is positive, should be made ever - and certainly not one as ridiculous as the bobblehead Muhammed,” said Zvi Ben-Dor Benite, an assistant professor at New York University. “I don’t think it’s about freedom of speech. This is the freedom to insult, which he shouldn’t be doing.”
Ames said several hundred people have purchased the dolls online, and he has paid a Chinese manufacturer to create 1,000 more. “I just think it’s funny,” he said.
Violent protests erupted last winter across the Muslim world after a Danish newspaper published cartoons lampooning the Prophet Muhammed as a suicide bomber. Many European papers reprinted the cartoons.
“People who get p----d off about this, they’re going to get p----d off regardless,” Ames, a baptized Christian, said.
The sophomoric Web site where Ames, using the pen name “Filthy,” sells the bobbleheads also features a collection of scattered rants. In one, he writes: “I’m really not into slamming people just for their religion. Most of the stupid people I’ve met are stupid despite their religion, not because of it.”
Frank Peters, a professor in the Department of Middle Eastern Studies at NYU, warned that a bobblehead Muhammed was “a really bad idea.”
“Jews and Christians have gotten used to this kind of thing, but Muslims haven’t,” he said. "This may not be his intention, but these things have consequences.
Re: Bobblehead Muhammad..
You expect these kinda things from people who make fun of their god Jesus on a regular basis.
Re: Bobblehead Muhammad..
Jesus isn't their "god" but yeah ure right..
Maybe things are much different now..but like almost 15 years ago, sinead o connor ripped a picture of hte Pope on SNL and there was such a big controversey over what she did, there was such a huge backlash against her, and NBC has never let anyone see that footage again.. it wa s a very xtreme reaction and this was only a fotograph of hte pope, not Jesus or any other Prophet.
Re: Bobblehead Muhammad..
ask christians, he is to a good part for them, the son, the father, the holy ghost, trinity, they all are god and they all are one, anyways they think he is divine and that he paid for their sins, and yet they insult him in "good fun" every single day...how can you expect respect from them when it comes to religion.
Y do you think you hear so many of them saying Save me Jesus!
Re: Bobblehead Muhammad..
Jesus is their God to them..
Re: Bobblehead Muhammad..
In th Christian belief, Jesus is hte son of God.
Re: Bobblehead Muhammad..
^For sum, 4 others he is 1/3 of God or God in human form...do some research...I didn't know either until I got into the whole comparative religion thing.
Re: Bobblehead Muhammad..
It's seperated in 2 - Catholics and Christians - the holy spirit, virgin mary, and the ghost...
both have different views but one pray through JESUS to GOD and one pray to GOD both of course believing that Jesus is GOD's son.

Re: Bobblehead Muhammad..
thanks, the last sentence makes a valid pt. the christians and jews got used to such things, for muslims, its something new, so the backlash is intense!
Re: Bobblehead Muhammad..
Well I hope that unlike the christians and jews, we do not follow them.. i think it is hideous how religion is insulted left and right, and for Islam to be degraded as much as Christianity or Judaism have been should not be tolerated at all..
Re: Bobblehead Muhammad..
dont you have any living relatives that are muslim, go print out the pics, and have a good time with them.
Re: Bobblehead Muhammad..
the dude is filling his pockets on shock value. Although I am more than sure that some of these bobble heads would be sent to muslim groups and centers etc by the low lifes.
Let them do it, the law is such that
Now if someone really wanted to do something, they could find some clause in law to sue this guy. Other than that getting bent out of shape about it is only going to give this guy free publicity.
Re: Bobblehead Muhammad..
Someone should erase this problem.
Re: Bobblehead Muhammad..
Yea like for example, they have these shirts (kids at school wear 'em) that say "Jesus is my homeboy" or "Mary is my homegirl" and they have pictures of them wearing chains and caps and stuff. I really wonder how they can make such a mockery of great leaders of their religion and find it funny. =\
As for the bobblehead: I say we set another building on fire or something.
Re: Bobblehead Muhammad..
tsk tsk, as i said 2 options
1) ignore the fol and dont give him any free publicity, it will not change anything in the greater scheme of things , some money going from teh pocket of a few thiusand idiots to the pocket of on idiot.
2) find some legal recourse and make him nanga in some court.
