Re: WHY MUSLIMS
I may not be among the everyones U just pointed to, so plz let me know about those dual standards which are on work for muslims exclusively by non muslims and not otherwise by muslims towards non muslims. Plz let me know where muslim religious leaders are disrespected by non muslims and in case of some stray incidents plz try to find out whether non muslim religious leaders are not disrespected in musilm world?
Come up with examples from recent past when Muslims disrespected religious leaders of non-Muslims. As far as the Abrahamic religions are concerned, their prophets are equally respected by Muslims. Let me know if Muslims written baseless novels and made movies on the religious leaders of Non-Muslims for instigating hatred and riots?

I m not a fan of Rushdie and dislike him just like another muslim would. But when U have pointed finger on him getting refuge, than plz find out if something like this too happened with muslims hurting sentiments of non muslims while sitting in safe muslim and non muslim heavens? Plz forgive me but I find ur comment as irrelevent as the carricature itself, if U disagree than plz let me know why.

Everyone writing against Islam and Muslims is the best seller in west. What does this tell us about the society as a whole? Name people from Muslim World who disrespected non-muslims religious leaders and got refuge in Muslim world. I would like to know hatred literature being produced by Muslims to the level of 'Satanic Verses' and 'Innocence of Muslims'. Want to see how low they can go!

I dont deny that some western historians were bigot, but can U afford to deny that historians many times more than those bigots were honest enough to earn a praise from U? and can U afford to claim than there were no bigot historian in muslim world? Plz think over it and U will find ur claims, I m sorry to say this. hollow. And I dont want to start a fresh debate here, but there are muslim attackers who are glamorised in ur muslim world for killing and looting in non muslim lands, and hurting their religious sentiments, that too in the name of Islam. Does that invite for some sweeping carricaturs? NO.

I myself talk lot about Aurangzeb and Ghaznavi evem MBQ from different perspective on this forum too, but when it comes to portraying negative image of East, West did every attempt to prove that. Golden period of Islamic contribution to fields of Science and technology was termed as dark ages. Its a very wast topic in itself. so don't want to further comment on it here.

Agreed that the holy prophet always advocated peace and insulting him is a sin and againts ethics of a civil society too, but does this blame of disrespecting a religious figure lies on non muslims only? Plz let me know.

Bring me examples from latest technological era, when propaganda against any leader other the Prophet has been intentionally made to enrage Muslims. Are there any caricature contest for other non-Muslim leaders started by Muslims on facebook, etc?

Plz forgive me, but I again term this as hollow comments. plz let me know what goes wrong with muslim tear glands when millions of muslims are massacred by Saddam hussain and likes of him, and when millions of muslims are massacred and displaced by noble muslims in places like Darfur. doesnt that invites for some sweeping carricature against muslim atrocities? Not to talk about in countries like Pakistan where innocent muslims are branded as islamic terrorists and shot. Issues which needs to draw sweeping carricatures could be countless, but only if U come out of ur usual pre-concieved notions against non muslims.

The question what was UN doing when all these atrocities were happening? Why UN is fast to resolve non-Muslims issues and keep on pending issues in Muslim countries. Is there any good usage of that so called international body for Muslims except for putting some sanctions on them?
same goes true for holocaust wale brethren
