However, the big question thats raised in this thread is that why does the whole world think that Muslims will behave violently and is that kind of behavior/reaction justified ?
It was all over the press and infact many people in UK opposed the play being taken off.
As to the question of muslims behaving voilently when you continously provoke someone sooner or later a voilent reaction ensues. Is that kind of behaviour justified, maybe not, but is that kind of provocation justified?
Plenty of examples in your own country where a number of riots, lootings and killings between muslims and hindus have taken place over the years. The massacre of sikhs following Indira's murder is another example.
I think it does, because thats the point of this thread. People are wary of how Muslims will react to an insult/perceived insult to Islam/Prophet. And this wariness is towards Muslims - religious group.
Violent reactions can be of many kinds - political, religious, sport violence etc. But can you really compare soccer hooliganism to Muslim reaction after the Danish cartoons ?
Perhaps you should do some home work, start with Macalester College religious studies professor James W. Laine and his book on Shiva that provoked violent outbursts by hindus.

Well different people have different priorities...
Not all people can react to religion the way they react to sports or other things or vice versa
For example, British Soccer fans are more passionate about their club than they are about their religion.
To most muslims they are just as passionate about Islam as British soccer fans are about their clubs.
So people react the same to different things which they care deeply about.
Right, but that “***** slap” will most probably end up hitting people who were not involved, as usual. As a result, he’ll get his ass kicked indirectly. It’s happening right now… Just sit back and enjoy the show.
It was reported in US media too, but it didn't get much attention, perhaps because no link to Al-CIAda was found .

Its good that people are now learning the use of 'freedom of speech' responsibly, Muslims are (indirectly) helping shape the rules of the game.

So you agree that that Islam a little less tolerant, a little less peaceful and a little less mature than the british soccer fans.
islam is a religion of peace but many muslims sometimes resort to violence to settle issues which pretty much equates their tribal upbringing especially in rural pakistan or middle east
but same is true for hindus and sikhs
lets see the western media mock hinduism or sikhism and lets see the riots in india against KFC and others.....

Yes you are right, there is a big difference between religion and its followers. But won't you agree that there is something wrong that so many followers take on to violence, that people are scared to say or do something just because they are scared that there will be violence from muslims.
Yes, thats what I am saying. The respect for Islaam is at its lowest level. People want to compromise with muslims, where ever it is possible, so that there is less violence.
O Plz, u people who hate muslims/islam want to see us insulted, thats y u advocating it, if their was a campaign against the sanctity of ur religion/beliefs, wouldn't u be up in arms, guess not.
Ok so who thinks that the play shud go on with the scene in it???
Would you also advocate the severed head of christ or moses or bhagwan, or anything of that sort? Free Speech my ass, these people have nothing better to do than insult and get surprised when someone retaliates.
We shud start doing these things. but we will be labelled extremists.
Probably not. I am not so sure of it. But the point here is why was it cancelled. If it was cancelled for respect of Islaam I would have said the German's are very peace loving and that they respect other religion.
But since it is cancelled for the fear of the reation from the muslims....
I'm sick of this hatred ****, u want to portray muslims as terrorists/killers, go ahead, but don't insult our prophet(s) or our religion, is that too hard to comprehend for these people.
