Re: Wondering how the Prophet might have responded to the cartoons..
This thread is grabbing headlines? Wow, news to me...what of this exhortation to distance myself from the headline grabbers?

BTW any opinion I have on this subject is not for my benefit, but for yours.

How?
Re: Wondering how the Prophet might have responded to the cartoons..
Forget the headline grabbers for the moment and let's address this thread. All my comments aren't related to that one post any more than all yours reflect your post that shias also make depictions of the prophet.
I am talking about this thread where the compassionate, intelligent, peaceful proposals presented were called called cowardly, kissing up, shameful and not showing love to the prophet by none other than the esteemed moderator and others who post hadiths to show that the prophet as an angry man and vengeful man.

Because it would benefit you and your religion if Muslims used peaceful, intelligent means to address situations.

Said the pot to the kettle…
Re: Wondering how the Prophet might have responded to the cartoons..
Yeah, go ahead and laugh. Ignorance is indeed bliss.
I have already demonstrated that you are either ignorant or lie in your posts and this one is no exception. You don't even know what my religion is.
Re: Wondering how the Prophet might have responded to the cartoons..
...but I thought NameInUse's post was spot-on...you know, that bit about all Muslims distancing themselves from our whack jobs for your gratification...
...fine, let's focus on this thread. Seems like you have a problem with the moderator, then...is that all?

I dunno if you're in a position to see what is beneficial or not for us...
Like I said...boycott is okay by me. Most tend to agree, and this seems to be the organized reaction.
Re: Wondering how the Prophet might have responded to the cartoons..
Exactly...it never ceases to amaze me how those with anemic reactions to their own society's violence (not to say they are personally responsible) have a nasty habit of fixating on another's...difference being, of course, our nut jobs aren't in a position of power...
Re: Wondering how the Prophet might have responded to the cartoons..
What planet are you talking about? First of all, the anemic reaction could very well be said about your own society as much as mine. The same goes for being fixated on other societies and their ills, are you kidding me? This board is full of that fixation. And your nut jobs aren’t in a position of power? Really?
Re: Wondering how the Prophet might have responded to the cartoons..
Although I haven't read any of the posts in great detail, I believe that Muslims do have the right to protest, so long as it does not turn into something violent.
The few lines that I was able to read, one of which said how there was a bomb on the figure's head in the cartoon. I believe that is most certainly very disrespectful and outrageous. In addition, I'm sure many in general must be aware of the fact that Muslims are against the picture-making or cartoonic depictions of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW). Even if they did do it out of ignorance, I believe they should apologize to the Muslims for it.
Re: Wondering how the Prophet might have responded to the cartoons..
apology i doubt it, the terroist USA invade and kill 100,000 civillians do they apologize for that you dreaming they justify killing 100,000 people with excuse Saddam is bad man,

Did you apologize for doing the same thing in Bangladesh? Or did those Muslims mae it up?
Re: Wondering how the Prophet might have responded to the cartoons..

well i didnt know pakistan used Depleted uranium in Bangledesh oh you mean the 100 million people that was raped and killed thats what you call an exaggeration and speaking of apologies Japan owes the terrorist US 2 Nukes in kind! the point being speak with facts not fantasy land stories.
Re: Wondering how the Prophet might have responded to the cartoons..
Why would the US have to apologize for this? This happened in Denmark. 
What does Iraq or WWII have to do with this? Can you ever address a subject without your anti-US hatred rearing its ugly head?
Re: Wondering how the Prophet might have responded to the cartoons..
Iraq is in denmark now? i know bush does'nt have a clue where iraq is on the world map but i did'nt realise that the right wingers did'nt know where it was either wow education is really poor there oh well.
Re: Wondering how the Prophet might have responded to the cartoons..
Is there any wonder why most of the world thinks that Muslims are extremists and prone to violence? Here is a thread started to show what the prophet would have done would have been civilized. Apparently what the prophet would have done and what his followers are saying and doing are two different things.
Re: Wondering how the Prophet might have responded to the cartoons..
You seem to be speaking with great authority as if you know exactly what Prophet Muhammad (SAW) or his companions would've done. I'd think we should all be very careful. If anything we should all remain civil and deal with the situation on hand in an appropriate manner rather than suggesting this is exactly what the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) would've done.
Re: Wondering how the Prophet might have responded to the cartoons..
This is about extremists, yes.
European right wing Islamaphobic extremists inciting the whole Muslim populace.
They're such haters and oh so fearful of the truth.
Shame on them.
Re: Wondering how the Prophet might have responded to the cartoons..
I remember in the mid-90s, the Royal Mail published a series of stamps about people who like cats. One of the 7 stamps was the Prophet (pbuh). There was no malice in the way he was drawn, but the muslim community was outraged that an image, even a respectful image, of him had been created. The Royal Mail withdrew the stamp due to the protest.
I disagree. I think the more shocking aspect of the cartoons is that they've depicted The Prophet with a bomb on his head, symbolizing that Islam to the core is violent and its founding father promoted insensitive and unnecessary killing.

"Is there any wonder why most of the world thinks that Muslims are extremists and prone to violence? Here is a thread started to show what the prophet would have done would have been civilized.

who are you people to judge what the Prophet(saw) would have done?
"Are you better knowing or Allah?(2:139)
the reason people are coming out with 2 different things is bcos he could have done 2 different things but u r goin on as if you know for a FACT that he would react in that way?
did u even pay attention to my earlier post? this Assumption of what the Prophet(saw) would have done, needs to Stop!
Re: Wondering how the Prophet might have responded to the cartoons..
I am no authority, and I have no idea what he would or would have not done. My intention was not to say what he would have done. I am merely restating the thesis of this thread, started by someone who claims to know what the prophet would have done. I am simply judging the followers of the prophet by their actions.
Re: Wondering how the Prophet might have responded to the cartoons..
This thread is entitled "wondering" how the Prophet might have responded..."
It says "In the spirit of the life of the Prophet, here are 5 ways how the Muslim world could have responded the the Danish cartoons"
That's not saying this is *exactly *what the prophet would've done.
Aren't Muslims supposed to emulate his life? Use his life as an example and live it as he did? What is an "appropriate manner" if not what he would have done? Isn't that what sunnah is all about and makes Islam a complete religion? If there is not an exact, authenticated hadith, what else would you do but *wonder *how he would respond and act accordingly?
