There has been a lot of protest by Muslims, to say the least on the publication of the editorial cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad in a Danish newspaper; other European newspapers have also published the cartoons. It is sacrileges to draw Muhammad and Muslims worldwide have condemned the cartoons. Many Muslims, not all but many have no problem criticizing other religions they dislike, yet they are outraged when criticism is directed at them. Muslims like all people are hypocritical. Muslims have a right to be angry but they are directing their anger at the wrong people. The cartoons depicted Muhammad as a terrorist. I have not seen the cartoons but reports say one such cartoon shows Muhammad wearing a turban shaped as a bomb. For this Muslims are marching in the streets and Syrians have set fire to the Norwegian and Danish embassies in Damascus. They are mad that newspapers would show Muhammad as a terrorist but they don't get mad at those that have linked him to terrorism...

Muslims need to take a deep breath and ask themselves how it got to this, to Muhammad being depicted as a terrorist. It wasn't an imaginative cartoonist that created the idea nor the newspaper that printed it. It was all the fundamentalist Muslims that use terror in the name of Allah that created the image of Muhammad as a terrorist...

When Osama bin Laden sent terrorists to bomb innocent civilians in the World Trade Center he did so in the name of Allah. When Ayman al-Zawahiri talks of more terror against the West he does so in the name of Allah. When Abu Musab al-Zarqawi uses terrorists in Iraq he does so in the name of Allah. When Hamas sends terrorists to bomb innocent civilians in Israeli restaurants and stores, they do so in the name of Allah. Muslims are taking out their anger at the wrong people, it is not the Danish that have tainted Muhammad, it is bin Laden, al-Zawahiri, Hamas, Al Qaeda and any other individual or group that kills innocent civilians in the name of Allah. It is blasphemous to kill in the name of Allah but I do not see Muslims marching in the streets against killing...

So Muslims can rant, rave and march against the Danish cartoon if they wish but as long as Muslims sit by and watch Islamic extremists kill in the name of Allah, they will have become a caricature of that Danish cartoon of Muhammad wearing a turban shaped as a bomb. That is what happens when people kill in the name of Allah, others will see them, Muhammad and all of Islam as terrorists. If Muslims don't like being looked at as terrorists and they shouldn't like it, they should take some of their rage and use it against those that put them in that light, not a Danish cartoonist or newspaper but bin Laden, al-Zawahir, al-Zarqawi and all the other Muslims that use terror tactics in the name of Islam. Here is a radical thought, condemn terrorism instead of cartoons...
