Muhammed Cartoons

"Danish paper rejected Jesus cartoons", by The Guardian: Jyllands-Posten, the Danish newspaper that first published the cartoons of the prophet Muhammad that have caused a storm of protest throughout the Islamic world, refused to run drawings lampooning Jesus Christ, it has emerged today. The Danish daily turned down the cartoons of Christ three years ago, on the grounds that they could be offensive to readers and were not funny.

I just wondered. Since muslims deem pictures of Muhammed to be haram or unlawful. How do they know it´s Muhammed depicted ?

Sure, Jyllands-Posten claim they are caricatures of Muhammed.

But since - to my knowledge - no drawn pictures exists of Muhammed from when he was alive. Then just how do people know that the pictures Jyllands-Posten posted are Muhammed ?

Basicly what people are objecting against is a fictitious statement made by a newspaper constructed to provocate muslims in Denmark and recently around the world.

Unfortunately people seem to pick up that notion and during the last couple of days at least 6 people have lost their lives. (according danish newspaper Berlingske Tidende).

Take a good look at this picture. 

Do you see any boundaries ? Peace is possible.

During this last week some people have been trying to use cartoons published by a Danish newspaper to create division between people based on religion.

The cartoons were in my view of course a misplaced provocation towards muslims and Islam.
