I know, but Islam, Judaism and Christianity all believe in the same god and it is terrible to see all that happens by people who all claim to believe in this god of love that nobody has seen for thousands of years. It's time we humans grew up and accepted that we are responsible for what happens, not this invisible super being.

If, as lammoush says, Mohammed loved his enemies, do you you think he might intercede from paradise and get some of those who claim to be his mates to stop blowing everyone up?
Some of us are getting a bit jumpy. Others are just getting really bummed off.

There are non base of Muslim (Islam) untill they have established the Bible (Tourah, Jabuur and Injill) mentioned in the Quraan Sura(5):68 also I have coted many information and read the Quraan in two ways, 1> If Quraan is a Litereture then Idol is Jesus and 2> If Quraan is a Noble the the actor is Jesus. Present Muslim does not read the Quraan in their own language. We should encourage people to read Quraan in there own language first. I beleive that Muslim are bound to convert and beleive in Jesus. Thanking you. [Personal contact info deleted]

Opinions of such people are meaningless. Some of us out here in the world know how to properly cite references. This was cited by #12

Khadija,
Everyone is responsible before Allah, eh?
So the MOSLEM terrorists who attacked a Jewish synagogue in Mumbai and murdered the Rabbi's wife in clod blood, and then murdered the Rabbi in cold blood are more virtuous than some college kids who publish cartoons?
Perhaps you should consider whom you hate more carefully.
A couple of years back, I was waiting for the bus home in central Jerusalem. News came over a cell that there had been a terror attack in Be'ersheva and a nymber of people had been killed. Everybody at the station, me included, felt sad or hurt, or angry - everybody except two Arab women who were smiling with broad grins and laughing.
Nobody attacked or harassed these women; nobody said they couldn't ride the bus, even though it was obvious that when Jews died, they were as happy as hogs in the mud. They rode in peace to Jebel Mukabr, and got off the bus.
Perhaps these women should have been attacked or killed because they took such obvious joy in Jews dying that they couldn't hold their smiles in when they saw Jews in mourning? If the opposite had occurred in Cairo, that is probably what would have happened. Arabs would have gone on a rampage, screaming "Allah hu akbar!" and "al-Yahud klabna!"
Khadija, we know what kind of savages Arabs can be. We are not like them. G-d forbid we sink to that level.

obviously Chelsea doesn't know a thing about the society and laws of this "democratic and just" country. when a public school newspaper openly and purposely calls Islam a "violent religion", they are breaking laws. the people that were involved in the making of the obscene cartoons can be sued and put in jail for discrimination. so Chelsea, next time you think that being a bigot and insulting a religion practicing our "freedom of speech", don't think that the incident that went on is an immature way to act.
