¿Pero, que carajo es esto?!!!...¿comenzará una guerra sin cuartel por causa de una caricaturas?!
Esto es ABSURDO!!...y aunque entiendo que no es un asunto tan simple desde el lado de allá (mundo árabe) ya que para ellos probablemente ven esto como una continuación de la "ausencia de respeto" que perciben de el mundo occidental.
Pero,!¿guerra?!....¿quieres saber mas?

I think you guys are missing one point. 99.9% of the muslims are not terorists. There are millions of muslims living in Europe or in U.S. that are regular citizens like any christian. There are terorists both among the christians and muslims.
At a real sensitive time where the picture of the enemy for all the western world is the muslims, such images are just a provocation to deepen a fresh "religiously" put conflict. And this is the point we should look at.
At the samples like southpark etc. about jesus is the issue different. It's:
a) a not accusing jesus being terorist or something, they are just jokes about daily subjects
b) it is made for christians by the christians
I think stuff like this is just stirring the pot consciously, just to push more of the muslim population direction extremism.
True, true.
But.
We also have our political cartoons, making fun of our own leaders, and the leaders of other nations and organizations. We have cartoons poking fun at different nationalities and national stereotypes. Satire and irony is an integral part of the freedom of expression and press. While some of those cartoons may be in poor taste, and may be a poorly timed, the reaction they provoked is completely out of proportion. Gunmen at embassies? Burning of flags and effigys? I realize the culture is different, but that is still effed up.
Those 99.9% of muslims, like sensible editor Jihad Momani, should be taking the same stand Mohani is taking.
The line between satire and slander may be very thin and drawn in the sand, but either way, if any progress is to be made, we must not bow down to such ridiculous violent reactions to fairly simplistic cartoons.
And yes, progress means fast forwarding their culture to be more like our own, at least this aspect of it, i.e. freedom of speech and not accepting violent reactions to satire. However un-PC it may be to say it out loud, their reactions are like those of the christian world of the dark ages. Simple and violent.
Freedom of speech, certainly way beyond this point.
Well, I don't see much change in the christianity (religion itself) compared to the dark ages, mostly the peoples attitude against the religion changed how extreme the religion (or the church) can push people.
Please note that the muslims startded aprox. 600 years later with their religion, so maybe they need another 600 years to change their attitude.
However I stand to the point to see this as a provocation to pump up their extremism.
IT'S A FUCKING CARTOON!
A couple of years ago Maddonna did a concert in Puerto Rico. Being the tramp that she is, she swiftly took a Puerto Rican flag that someone in the audience had given her and she wiped her crotch with it.
Have you ever heard of any US embassy or Maddonna's home being raided or bombed by Puerto Rican nationalists because of this incident? No.
Were there protests? You bet.
Were there idiots shooting in the air seeking revenge? No.
How does this help in convincing the Western world and the EU that all Muslims aren't a bunch of wacky senseless violent terrorists?
They are just putting themselves in a hole instead of helping themselves out with this riddiculous crap.
You can't pick and choose when it's a good time to have freedom of press.
hablando de "offensive images"...
