I don't see what the fuss is all about? Given my background and my religious upbringing, I really don't!

Someone pinch me please and tell me THE CARTOONS issue is snowballing to serve another sinister interest please, because I don't see how the Muslim and Arab and Sunni and Shia and all the over lapping yet too opposing worlds have united in such a force over two weeks to call for:
1. An apology from the Danish Queen (hehe), eventhough the poor woman has nothing to do with the cartoons
2. Boycotting Danish products, although the Danish cows had no control over what is published in papers
3. Jihad against Denmark - and I won't even get there!

Yes, the cartoons were offensive and ridiculous to say the least but all this drama have brought them more to the forefront than the people who drew and published them ever thought they would. Everyone, including Saeedi, now knows about them and have seen them, which did more damage than good, considering the fuss that this created, and the feelings of anger and disgust they provoked in the hearts of the believers, even those who curse Prophet Muhammed's household from the pulpits of mosques!

They have also distracted the Arabs and the Muslims overall from their own problems at home, where a lot of UNISLAMIC practises go on every single day, right in front of their very noses, which they have no balls to confront them, from the unIslamic tyranic regimes which rule them with an iron fist to the whoring corrupt officials who have a say on how they live their lives, run their businesses and even to a certain extent define their relationship with God.

I know I won't add much to all the arguments going on almost everywhere about The Cartoons, but I want to remind you all of the fuss made over works like The Passion of Christ and Da Vinci Code!!

A world of a difference indeed!

Yup, it's all about the politics, all about the power. KSA, Bahrain are by no means the first, last or only to use religion in such a manner. Anytime I hear a politician talk about God, I figure it's time to save the wristwatches, cause a BS flood is coming.

Let's not forget that had item been an anti-semetic cartton, Bush, the US and all of Israel's cronies would have been baying for blood. Fact is in Islam we respect all the Prophets from Abraham. Moses onwards.

Incidently Mike C those UnIslamic practices you refer to, are un-christian as well, as have you strayed too far from the path of your book? Secondly it's not the corrup officials that tell us how to live our lives - it's Shaaria law. If you dont like it - you're always welcome to leave & venture back to your motherland, and

Thought Arabs and Jews were both semetic. I've seen plenty of anti Jewish/Israeli cartoons, and no braying for blood by the Bush administration. What makes you so sure I'm a Christian, by the way?

At any rate, my comments concerned the use of religion as a tool, lever, or straw man by ANY politicians, of whatever faith or party. I live here by the Vatican of the American evangelical movement, and have seen more than my share up close.
