Talk about duplicity. You can speak about Hindus having to "realize" and not impose their beliefs on you, while you insist that everyone must "respect" your prophet and your beliefs. Freedom of expression is as dear to me as your prophet is to you. As for bigoted Americans, funny how such a tolerant Muslim as yourself can live amongst these scoundrels.

a) The article is incorrect. Hindus do "impose" their beliefs on others, and others gladly comply. Where my mother grew up, NO one ate beef as it was known to upset the Hindus. No one beat their chest, or went on about rights and what not...they respected each other and ate other meats. It all worked out fine. If things are changing, it's not because Muslims are demanding it...it's just that irreligious Hindus are trying to make a point. That has nothing to do with us...and as far as I'm concerned, we should still bend over backwards not to incite on very sensitive issues.

b) We're not imposing our beliefs, it is you. You are in essence telling us that our anger is unjustified and that we have to live with YOUR expression. The comparison between respect for the Prophet (pbuh) and freedom of expression is stupid. I can respect your beliefs, and do, without stepping on them. Is there no other way to exercise freedom of expression other than to tolerate, and endorse racist depictions of an archetype who insult at a personal level people who don't even know where America, or any other Western nation, is?

What violence has there been in Pakistan concerning this? 5,000 people marched in Peshawar peacefully. There was more violence here over some stupid marathon in Lahore. Most, if not all of the violence has occurred in areas which are already politically unstable. Yes, protests may be widespread over the Muslim world, but they were not very large. Given enough time and money I can gather 100 people to protest Ohioguy in Karachi.

But there is widespread anger and rightly so.

It takes one person, and these idiots feel vindicated in their indignation. Stupid...

‘Bush supports Denmark over cartoon controversy’

**FU*K those hypocritical white colonists! they are
all the same kind butchers all through the history. :mad: **

COPENHAGEN: US President George W. Bush has expressed his full support for Denmark amid the controversy over the cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammed, Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen said on Tuesday.

Addressing a news conference, Rasmussen said he would not go into the details of what he and the US president had discussed in their telephone conversation.

Both leaders had agreed on the need to resume a “dialogue”, Rasmussen said, but he conceded it was not easy against the backdrop of popular protests in several Muslim nations.

Rasmussen’s news conference was held after the Danish foreign ministry issued further travel warnings advising Danish nationals to postpone or cancel all non-essential travel to Indonesia and Afghanistan.

The ministry on Monday listed 16 Muslim countries on its travel advisory list after the Danish embassies in Damascus and Beirut were set on fire amid weekend protests against the caricatures.

Re: 'Bush supports Denmark over cartoon controversy'

Dialog? He means lecturing without listening.

This is the kind of 'diaog' we had since last Sept.
