Now before anyone goes gun crazy at first, let me point out that I did NOT draw the prophets face, I respect the old rules of hiding his face, but I NEED him in this image to share my point, and anyhow, The Quran does NOT state that you can NOT draw the prophet, It reads that you can not draw Allah!
The only reasons why Mohammed commonly isn't drawn, is because there was a fear that if people drew his face, they’d forget about Allah and worship an icon, a prophet, instead and as I hear out here on DA, it's because you don't want to show the face of dead loved ones.
And no, it still doesn't make it right to draw him as a terrorist, I take all the distance I can from that media feed idea..
Now, to feed YOU some FACTS, not all the Media bullshit and Fanatic Propaganda. I read quite some parts of the Quran now and also the §77-§226 paragraphs: of the Europerian/danish law.
The law states:
Article 10 - right to freedom of expression
Article 10 provides the right to freedom of expression, subject to certain restrictions that are "in accordance with law" and "necessary in a democratic society". This right includes the freedom to hold opinions, and to receive and impart information and ideas.
It should be said that the paragraph of racism stats following (personally translated from the Danish "grundlov" law.)
Chapter 27: Peace and Honour insults
§ 266 b. The one, who publish or with intention of spreading the word to a wide range of people, in which people are treated, mocked or dishonoured because of race, skin colour or origin of birth, faith, or sexual preferences, is punished with a fine, or up till 2 years in prison.
So in other words, SUE that freggin newspaper, you who feel offended and hurt!. Don't support the fanatics who spin 360 degrees and start treating and assaulting the Danish population, that has NOTHING to do with the newspaper nor the drawings. This SHIT only ruining Islam’s reputation even more, pleasing the Media that can send new images of violence and death, blaming it on the common Muslim!
The whole thing should never have happened, I can agree on the fact that Jyllands Posten should have self-censured their article, and thought about the possible pain it could inflict, and prolly never ever posted it.
But the violence and hatred towards the Danish people, not the newspaper, is ridicules, and is only making the western world look down at Islam! Every new building trashed, every person’s death, just messes up the reputation of Islam! Every terrorist makes life hard for his fellow Muslim brothers and sisters, as he calls for Allah and taking civilian’s lifes! They give Muslims a bad reputation, and most of you Muslims who read this probably knows it...
Allah is known for mercy, kindness and holding mans hope high, Allah does not want your children to die, Allah does not want fanatics to smear blood on his or his appointed prophet; Mohammed's hands!
For the freedom of real Islam! One of the most human religions there are! Down with the people who put "terror" in Islam!
Down with press hysteria and provocations, down with the Medias blood thirst!
Let our children think for themselves and be friends, don't tare them apart with fear and hate!
STOP the spilling of blood and kicking dirt on Islam, clean the reputation of this religion and say STOP to Fanatics on both sides!
“You do not do evil to those who do evil to you, but you deal with them with forgiveness and kindness.” (Sahih Al-Bukhari)
For Respect, Freedom and Understanding.
I apologize that the western media is so horny for scandals, and that they don't know how to think before posting, that they act like children.
I think your speech was better than the actual picture, don't get me wrong, Its great but, y'know nice rant.

That's so hilarious, and so true too. I'm glad someone has the balls to stand up and say its bullshit. I wish the media would stop going on about it too.
Across the globe, 27 million men, women, and children live in some form of slavery. That is more people at this moment than in all the centuries of the Atlantic Slave Trade. Something must be done. This contest serves two purposes: Raising awareness about human trafficking and raising funds for the Not For Sale organization.
